Is there by any chance that someone is cooking battery meter for at&t 340?
Some one needs to take the 340 rom and fix it up
340 ROM is a good ROM, yeah just needed someone to make some modifications to get the wi-fi hot spot and tethering function again.
Also need the throttled speeds fixed

I would highly recommend trying to do some stuff yourself. There wasnt anything for the 319 froyo and I wanted a gingerbread notification bar so I made one. It took a lot of reading and searching (and some frustration) but I learned a lot in the process and it was worth it. I would make something for 340 but am too lazy to install and dont want to lose all my customization (319 can't make nandroid backups...)
Here are some links if anyone is interested in getting started:

Find someone else's customization you want and build off of that to start out (make sure to give them credit if you use any of their stuff)
Fards said the 318 tweaks might work... did any one try it ?

The problem with stock roms is that every time u reboot it, it will flash the recovery .
SO if u flash clockworkmod, it will be erased and stock recovery will be flashed over it .
So the trick is to - boot to fastboot, flash clockworkmod, pull battery , go to clockworkmod ( by holding the vol buttons ) and then flash the necessary files ( in this case battery meter) and then reboot.
So every time u want to flash anything u will have to do this
Hope it helps
You don't have to pull the battery you can use:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x413c reboot
to reboot the phone. Hold down both volume buttons as the phone reboots.
You can also prevent the overwrite of the recovery by renaming the file install-recovery.sh to something else. It's in /system/etc. I just added.orig to the file name.

drgopoos, This is fast and THANK YOU VERY MUCH again!! Unfortunately, I tried with StreakMod Recovery ver 0.3.2.6 Beta, reboot and still the stock battery. No luck but big thank you again.
Anyway, I screwed up the yellow color from 26%-50%; those settings work for black task bar but not white (stock). If you happen to recook Jazzk style (big number battery meter) for Stock 340; use any color scheme you like and I will test and report back for you. I am just happy to have any battery meter in Jazzk style.
I am back to Stock 340 because my Steve 1.8.1 was working really great for a while and now, after one week+, it started to auto shutdown (only a battery pull will it startup pressing power button) or constant reboot. No time to deal with this now and I need a stable phone that works 99.99% of the time.
Anyway, I felt (very subjective) that 340 is better than stock 318 + perf fix. Fast and stable so far - Cant nandroid backup though.

340 = Android 2.2
341 = Android 2.2.2 and unlocked - Only good with 322 baseband (no flashing buttons light). Others reported that it has diff version of Dell's UI - Stage (I liked this version better) and very good battery life. And very fast and STABLE!!!!!

Hello, I'm trying to find a way to put that cool circular battery I see in many screenshots in my status/notification bar. I found this cool website: circle [dot] glx [dot] nl.
However the zip file it returned caused a bootloop on my device. Every time, the phone boots so far that I can see the new icon, but then it crashes and automatically reboots. Do you know how could I solve this annoying bug? Is there an alternative (and safer) way to replace the battery icon in the notification bar?

Do you use this with the stock ROM? I think this won't work because it is not deodexed. Try flashing my AmberHome 1.1 ROM (this is completely deodexed) and then flash your battery icon zip.

This is only for Telus Fascinate not Verizon Fascniate!!
I'm not good at speaking English just you know (or can somebody rewrite this for me??)
As you know, Telus Fascinate is pretty simillar to Galaxy I9000
The differences between those two are FF Camera, buttons, and some others
Okay Ill shut up and let you know how to flash MIUI/CM7 rom
Flash it at your own risk!!! I'm not responsible for anythings that you just did!! This is only for people who know how to fix your 700$ toy. Read Carefully.!! There might be alot of bugs when you are using this methoud.
Things that you need
1. speedmod-kernel-k13c-500hz.tar
2. Newest Version of MIUI Rom or Newest Version of CM7 Rom
3. cm7-galaxys-initial-kernel.tar
4. galaxy-efsbackup.zip
5. [CM7/MIUI]Telus Fascinate Platypus Kernel
Here is How! (How to flash it, when you are using stock Froyo Rom)
1. Get those files download
2. Copy all these files into your Phone (except speedmod-kernel-k13c-500hz.tar & cm7-galaxys-initial-kernel.tar files)
3. Get into download mode and than flash speedmod-kernel-k13c-500hz.tar with using odin (do not check mark on the repartition!)
4. Get into recovery mode and than install galaxys-efsbackup.zip
5. Turn off your device and than get into download mode again
6. Install cm7-galaxys-initial-kernel.tar with using odin again (do not check mark on the repartition and auto reboot!!!)
7. Unplug your USB and than get into recovery mode again
8. Choose "mounts & storage" and format system, data, and cache
9. Flash MIUI Rom or CM7 Rom
10. Reboot your device and you will see MIUI rom booting and make sure you are in service and 3g working fine. If you dont get any of that you might have to go back to stock Froyo rom and do this steps again.
11. If you have service and 3g data working, go to recovery mode again!!
14. After done flashing it install [CM7/MIUI]Telus Fascinate Platypus Kernel kernel from recovery
15. Reboot your device and you will be running MIUI Rom or CM7 Rom
Starting from Telus Fascinate Platypus Kernle Quorra-r8, there is no need of changing home key and back key
16. There is a problem between home key and back key. They are reversed. so Donload Root Explorer app
17. Run Root Explorer and than go look for /system/usr/keylayout/cypress-touchkey.kl longpress of cypress-touchkey.kl file and you will see Open in Text Editor Press it
18. you will see in your text
key 139 MENU VIRTUAL
key 102 HOME VIRTUAL
key 158 BACK VIRTUAL
key 217 SEARCH VIRTUAL
19. Change this in to
key 139 MENU VIRTUAL
key 158 HOME VIRTUAL
key 102 BACK VIRTUAL
key 217 SEARCH VIRTUAL
20. and save it and reboot your device!!!!!
Please read this guide carefully and flash it at your own risk!!!!!
Sorry for my Bad English !!!!!

I recommend to use GALAXYS and you dont need to worry about flashing back the Telus modem cause it is fine to use jvk modem.

No, I'm refering to the built in geo-magnetic sensor. Essentially the built in compass.
Edit: But the accelerometer doesn't work either, I don't particularly care about that.
Also, occasionally after being plugged in, the software seems to ignore the fact that it's charging until reboot. That one sucks because it stops charging while I'm sleeping.
Camera app occasionally won't display a preview until the phone is locked/unlocked with the app open. Widgets disappear puriodically, and sometimes it won't let me fruit ninja
Hey harimgs,
is it normal to constantly bootloop on miui? My phone will bootloop 3 or 4 times then finally boot on the 5th.

The first few times it takes a while, I think the boot animation is too long/too short. I changed it to a different one (Through the theme manager) and it boots a lot quicker now.

So, say I wanted to overclock the phone, afaik there is no kernel allowing to do that, right? Supercurio's didn't allow it when I used it on my 959D to load Darky's and SimplyHoney and I just flashed CM7 using the instructions in this thread (so I'm now running Platypus kernel).
Also, is there a lagfix included with CM7?
Hey! I was using 2.3.3 miui rom with Platypus everything worked fine, I upgraded myself to the new miui rom which uses 2.3.4 and problem is when I flash the kernel if wont go past the cm7 boot logo. I have flashed it several times and reinstalled the rom still same issue.
hi.
i flashed stock rom S5830XWKS2 through Odin. the phone started rebooting randomly.
then i flashed custom rom TheMyth KS3 but the problem kept getting worse. when i'm using the phone, it reboots every few seconds.
i flashed stock rom S5830XWKS3. but the Baseband version in the phone didnt change (S5830XWKS2). and the problem is still persistent.
the phones does not do full reboot. it freezes, the screen goes black, then goes strait to the boot animation.
also, if it reboots while transferring files through mass usb storage, the transfer doesnt stop, to continues normally.
1. any idea why is this happening?
2. why didnt the baseband version change when i flashed KS3?
3. do you recommend another stock rom to flash.
p.s: KS3 seems fast. i got 1040 score in quadrant on stock rom.
i would appreciate any help. thanks

Hey !
The Baseband Version is KS2 while Build is KS9 (in my stock rom)
If you end in Bootloops, press Power + Home till you get into recovery, then Clear data/Factory Reset and clear Cache, then reboot.
Come back and tell me if it worked for you.
Greetings
thank you for your reply.
it's actually not a bootloop. the phone boots normally and works fine for some times (few seconds/minutes) then it freezes for few seconds, then the screen turns black for a second, then shows the boot animation (doesn't show the boot screen with the samsung logo). it works fine for some time, then again.
it seems that the problem is related to the wifi. it only happens when wifi is on.
On Samfirmware.com they say that you should make a Factory Reset after flashing, maybe that works for you ? I flashed the KS9 Stock today and had some problems till I did this in Recovery. Else I would have no Idea, maybe reflash or get another Version ?
You could also try to install any custom Rom, like Jusada´s ICS for example, just to test if there are problems with CM also ..
Umm, maybe a question to those who only touch the Earth to answer our Newb questions...is it possible that the Ace restarts when it get´s attacked from the outside ? I faced that after flashing a Rom that I modified and didn´t have the right Permissions the Phone restarted/bootlooped when I tried to install any App (\data\app wasn´t set correct)
Greetings
thank you. i guess i'll try to flash again. or maybe try a different stock.

my first attempt was with KS2. that's when the problem started, even before i install TheMyth. The 1.1 update didnt help either.

I was using Rom ToolBox. I attempted to change the theme of my rooted but stock rom Vibrant. When RTB(Rom ToolBox) rebooted the phone it would only boot to T-mobile boot screen then go to a black screen. The 4 buttons on the bottom of the phone still light up when touched. I can get into recovery and have reset data as well as formatted SD card.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated as I need this phone for my job that starts on wensday.
After recovering from what I posted above, I then soft bricked my phone a second time, this time it would only load to the Vibrant/Samsung boot screen.
"You should be able to get to download mode.
Pull the battery, put it back in.
Make sure the phone is still off.
Hold volume up + down while inserting the usb cable.
See if that works." credit goes to theexel for getting me out of this second soft brick.
If you have had either of these 2 problems this thread should have some answers for you, or will point you in the right direction to getting ur problem fixed.
I cant say thanks enough to everyone that helped or tried to help me with these 2 problems.

If your phone is stock rom but rooted.. just use odin, you can lose some info, or not, but the phone will work perfectly again (suggestion: try jelly bean, better battery, and it's working great)

That should be if you have this phone period, and there's signs of life on it, which there is on yours.
Look through this Q&A section for a tutorial on how to ODIN back to stock, you should be fine.

Bad news for me, now its soft bricked I believe(phone--!--cpu) screen. Also looks like the usb port is bad. Talk about crappy luck. Any ideas on this development is also appreciated.
You can still ODIN when you see phone--!--cpu.
As long as you see a COM in ODIN, you're good to go.
If it's not working, try different computer ports, cables, etc.

I think the longest part of using ODIN is having to download the files initially.
It only takes, no more than 10-15 minutes to have your phone up and running again once you have all the files and run ODIN.

No worries, ill take any advice I can get.
I prefer official stuff from big teams, so I use CM10, I like it, its fast and stable.
Currently dowgraded to Froyo though, ah, I've missed my GPS.

I bricked it good this time, got cocky and flashed droid-vibrant rom. Didnt like it so I went to go back to my original stock rom, used clockwork recovery but something went wrong. When I rebooted the phone im now stuck at the vibrant/samsung screen. Cant get into recovery or download modes now. Everything I try just keeps cycling the vibrant/samsung boot screen. Is this a hard brick or is there a way to save it?
You should be able to get to download mode.
Pull the battery, put it back in.
Make sure the phone is still off.
Hold volume up + down while inserting the usb cable.
See if that works.

You sir are a life saver. Ok now before I do anything else. What should be my first move from here?
Well, that depends on what you want to do.
What ROM you want to install, etc.
Well, what do you want to run on your phone?
Froyo - been out for a long time so it is optimized to the eyeballs. Working GPS, long battery life, quick and snappy.
Gingerbread - Since we had no "official" build, there are problems with battery, GPS and small memory leaks here and there. Plus you will have to install Gingerbread bootloaders (If you screw this up, it is the one sure fire way to hardbrick this device-so tread lightly). Almost all GB ROM do NOT have e911/911. There is CM7/7.2, Simply Honey, MIUI
ICS - Make sure you choose anything 4.0.4 based, as it has updated code from Google. ICZen is my home ICS ROM, but there is Slim, CM9 and a few others. (Install guide is in my signature) GPS sucks for the most part too and maybe/maybe not e911/911.
JellyBean - All are experimental and still glitchy if you don't know what you are doing. HellyBean and SlimBean are the two front runners.
******************
My suggestion to you is for you to runu some Froyos to get you comfortable with the flashing, nandroiding, tweaking,...processes and then move on to something else. Above all read and search. This phone is 2 years old, so chances are you won't have done anything that someone else already has. Nearly all the issues are solved, so you should be able to use the search and find something out about said problem, as opposed to opening a thread about it.

I think i will stay far far away from GB. I guess I would want to stay on froyo, I just dont know which froyo rom would be the best. What im looking for is fast/good battery life/working GPS. I would need 911 to work as I drive for my work and use it quite abit to call in accidents/problems on the roads that I see.
Yea I searched and read and read, once I got to the phone--!--computer I knew what was wrong. This last time I found alot of people who had the same problems, the ones that got solved I tried the methods that they used and none worked.
I would go with Bionix-V FishmanMod Rom / Bionix-V FishmanMod Odin Images. It is proven to be really great at all the things that you listed. Also it has an Odin image, so you can just flash it through Odin and go about your day like normal (See the OP). You can theme it with the themes list in Slim_Ryder's post #4 (this is a great 2.2 ROM also btw).
Good luck and let us know how it goes.

I went with the rom that you suggested. So far I am loving it. Much thanks for all of your help as well as others that helped as well.
Sweet!!! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Also might want to take a look at my Battery Guide stickied in the Q&A section. It has tips, trick, apps and some really good info you might need.
One last thing: Can you go into your OP and click Edit>Go Advanced and then put [Solved] in your title.
Preface: I have zero knowledge of android development and rooted my phone myself.
Some months ago I decided to root my S2 i777.
I followed the instructions on this page word for word: http://galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-root/how-to-root-ics-on-att-galaxy-s2-sgh-i777/
I decided to do it after my stock was getting laggy and was randomly shutting down and throwing the battery calibration off. After reading the good feedback in that page's comment section. I gave it a go.
Everything went fine and my now-rooted S2 was no longer randomly shutting down!
I noticed though that the caera and video playback stopped aorking. As in, the screen would be black. I could still take pictures, but I would knot know what it looked like until it was taken. That didn't bother me much though since not having the phone shut down random;y several times throughout the day anymore was more than worth that unfortunate loss.
Today, though. It started randomly cutting to black and boothing constantly. My battery calibration was all over the place. It has restarted at least 10 times today.
I talked to my friend that originally conviced me to root and he said to do a factory reset. I backed up my contacts on my SIM and did so.
Now it won't boot past the screen that reads "Samsung Galaxy SII GT-1900" with the yellow warning triangle underneath (this is wha tthe boot screen changed to after rooting.).
I can not boot into recovery mode via keeping all three side buttons pressed.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Click the return to stock thread in this guys signature . Creepyncrawly has all the links http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=2916435
@GPS_Music,
If you still want a rooted phone, then rather than flashing straight stock, why don't you save yourself a step, and flash Stock plus root. The links in my signature give pretty clear directions.
Since you originally rooted with files from GalaxyS2Root, the problems you have experienced are very likely related to the quality of those files. If you avoid GalaxyS2Root in the future, and use files from these forums, you will have a much better experience.
Since you want JellyBean, after you flash stock plus root, you could follow my guide to install a custom kernel which contains ClockworkMod Recovery, and then flash one of the fine JellyBean firmwares available in the development section.
If you have any questions as you go along, feel free to ask them in this thread.

Thank you for your reply.
The main reason I opted to use that site was because of the ese of the steps, as well as the pictures. I wanted a method that was clear so I would minimize me messing up. I will look into your signature links now, but I should note that I don't recall stating I wanted JellyBean...my phone is 4.0.x last I recall, which is ICS.
Hey creepyncrawly,
I was able to download the material from your signature yesterday, but unfortunately my battery wa too low to safely put into downlaod mode (according to the phone, which read something along the lines of "Battery low! Can not download!" in red).
I tried charging it before I went to bed but it would not go past the screen that shows the battery indicator with a loading circle int he middle (which was not rotating). It would then go black and the screen would "retsart" constantly to black screens (I did not notice this until I turned off my room lights, the screen was very black but I could tell it was turning on and off).
I am trying again now to charge it but I seem to be having the same issue. I will leave it plugged to my charger for an hour and then try to turn it on.

It sounds to me like you're trying to put it in Recovery Mode. Download mode is something completely different. Here's what you can do:
- Take the battery out.
- Leave it out.
- Hold down Vol Up and Vol Down.
- While they are pressed, plug the phone into your computer.
This should place you in Download Mode. Then used Odin to flash the Stock Plus Root package.

Download mode is what I was intending for, and Vol Up and Vol Down is what I was pressing.
Are you saying to leave the battery out completely during the entire proces? That doesn't seem right.
As of now, I still can not get my battery to charge. I wonder if the ATT store cna loan me a replacement battery for a little bit.....

Yes, I'm saying leave the battery out for the whole process. The USB connection will supply the power.
Seriously, just give it a try.

It worked! Thanks so much!
However, It reverted me back to jellybean 2.3.4 and feels sluggish compared to when I had ICS, should i manually update it or should I install come custom rom?

I think you mean Gingerbread 2.3.4. Also, if you're rooted, never attempt an official update.
You can do what you want, but if you want my personal opinion, I would suggest a custom rom. If you think ICS was fast, wait until you try Jellybean. If you want a Touchwiz rom, probably go with ShoStock 3. If you want a more stock Nexus-ish flavor, give Task's AOKP a try. Just remember to follow each thread's installation instructions exactly, which means a full wipe.

The main thing I am looking for is a smooth interface, minimal lag, and reliable. Which ROM fits that description? And may you link me to it's instructions?
Thanks!
NOTE: I just experienced a random restart. I was using the phone and the screen suddenly went black and bootted again. This is the same issus I was experiencing before I re-rooted.
Should I be concerned?\
EDIT: It happened agian, not even a minute after the previous one after it was all re-booted up.
I am seeing he following under About Phone:
Model Number: SAMSUNG-SGH-I777
Android Version: 2.3.4
Baseband Version: I777UCKH7
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.UCKH7

Either of the roms I mentioned will give you a smooth interface and be reliable. And no, you can get to the instructions yourself. I'll give you a hint; the ShoStock 3 instructions are in the ShoStock 3 thread, and the AOKP instructions are in the AOKP thread.
It's pretty clear you don't really know what you're doing, so I'll spoonfeed you a little more. You're not going to use Odin to flash the rom. You're going to use CWM Recovery. You can get CWM Recovery by flashing a kernel that includes it. Here's what you do:
1. Download rom of choice and save it to your SD card.
2. Install Mobile Odin Lite.
3. Download Siyah kernel.
4. Extract the zimage and save it to your SD card.
5. Use Mobile Odin to flash the zimage.
6. Boot into Recovery.
7. Wipe Data, Cache, and Dalvik Cache.
8. While still in Recovery, install rom.
9. Reboot.
Most people will not (and should not) be as helpful as I just was. In the future, read read read. Read the stickies, search for threads that deal with issues you may be having, and read them. All the info you need is already out there, you just need to learn how to find it.

Understood and much appreciated!
I suppose it's just me being over-over-over-careful and making absolutely sure I don't screw anything up (like last time). Though now I know this is the site to go to for any reference!
Thanks again!
Yup same problem i'm facing just tooooo carefull and i also read a lot of treaths but still i think sometimes That its not going to work sometimes the same thing would not work, deu to the fact that a Noob like me and u forgot a small step or someting
And then u had lucky u could take out the batterij.
I have 3 xperia's and all 3 can't take the batterij out so i don't had much time to fix it.
But as long as u try and say really good what u did and what u used.
Btw does everything work properly Again
