Ok guys I am looking into this. I will state this. As there is no donation requests in this thread I want it to stay on topic. I will ask that you keep the chit chat to the rom.

I will also say this. I understand being upset. But breaking the rules cause someone else is and it upset you is NOT a reason for others to break the rules. (Swearing). I am sure people here are smart enough to use a better choice of words

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] atechstl:
1. Downloaded ROM

2. Placed on my Internal SD

3. Booted into Recovery Mode (Turn on phone using power and both volume keys)

4. Wipe data / Factory Reset

5. Wipe Cache Partition

6. Apply Update from SD Card - /sdcard/download/Skyrocket-stock_ROM-melvin.zip

Rebooted phone and happy to see it isn't broke.

Received error. E:signature verification failed. Installation Aborted.

The folks at the AT&T store just down the road are nice folks, but I was pretty surprised to find how little they were kept informed. I had to let them know about the Skyrocket announcement (lol), but they also made sure there was one waiting for me on launch day - so no complaints. It's not like there was a line stretching out the door to get one, but when you are on the 30th day of your phone upgrade you don't want to take any chances.

had a rough go of it round 1. i suppose i will attempt round 2 once more tonight. First go i mistakenly didn't wipe data / factory reset and ended up with a soft brick - fortunately thank Goodness we cool =). Would like to get this running. Melvin will this be an issue if i am coming from a TMO CWM by any chances? just want to take necessary precautions before going for round 2. any help appreciated! Also i know it is unrelated to the thread - we need a factory flashable img in case =)

have a great day

you need CWM to flash this ROM bro ~ flash CWM through ROM manager before (use TMO GSII) doing so. Wouldn't reccommend anything beforehand

"if this all sounds like jibberish ~ i strongly suggest some addt'l reading."

haha, no, it all makes sense. Thanks a lot. I've done all this before I just didn't know what phone we were using for CWM. All is well now.

I appreciate the help. The ROM has been flashed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] saywhat4118:
Oh, well they could be an authorized retailer. Not an official AT&T store. Official store's are supposed to get an email about device launch and announcements. then again lot of our peeps dont even check their emails. oh well. glad you got your phone though and dont worry, minny will get LTE soon.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] TX_Mason:
I used ROM Manager to flash this. I've done it twice and followed the instructions to the letter, including let it sit 15 minutes and reboot. I've run the speed tests, but there's no difference. I thought it might be the location, but one of the other posters is in the Dallas area and his rocks.

Any suggestions?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] the2rrell:
im in Houston, and i have noticed the difference too. not really in SPEED, but in consistant speed.

i still get the 16Mbps with only 2 bars and if i get three bars it easily hits 22's and 25's.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jake:
Glad you guys are getting good speed. I reside in H+ market area

Hence the reason I am more concerned with features like eliminating ciq / unnecessary bloat. What I am looking for is a very efficient snappy rom. (Midnight pftmed+ Starburst Phantom) Is this the one?

Once LTE gets here, or if I go on vacation, believe ill give y'all a buzz =]
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] malickie:
Well at least we have a good base Rom to start off of and considering the Source Code I believe I read somewhere got released it shouldn't be too long.

Speeds

Melvin,

HOLD THE PRESSES 45 Minutes POST FLASH and now the Quadrants are at 3800... perhaps I was wrong below. However the WiFi is still an issue. Any ideas?

Sadly in my benchmarks the Quadrant Scores dropped significantly.

Pre ROM on Rooted Stock 3200-3400 consistently

Post ROM 2200-2400

This is stock and only downloaded 2 apps Quadrant and SpeedTest. Also its worth noting my WIFI signal is an issue prior to the ROM I had no issues getting my router 15 feet away and now it drops and sometimes does not connect at all.

I waited 15 minutes after the ROM to let things settle in and have tried several battery pulls.

And ideas before I flash back to my backup?

Someone running this, please stop by IRC.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] the2rrell:
Im running this RIGHT NOW, i have seen some hickups in Quads....but i still get 2700 - 3300 thats the range i always had though. and as far as Wifi, i also have NOT noticed and latincy there either....i have u-verse at the house and i can drive across the street and still see my network and stay connected.

i would maybe reflash. just stating that this is not a General Bug or Issue.

Konane - Im there now<<
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Earthdog:
The Latency is relate to a 5G connection. If I use the 2.4G Wireless connection its fine. I just backed up the Melvin ROM and went back to my Stock Rooted and WiFi is perfect.

Looks like this still needs som work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] the2rrell:
Gotcha, there maybe an issue.......im just not seeing it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] appdroid:
did anyone else notice the notification tone issue! i can't change it even though i m using the Android ringtone from phone! Any help?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tonyfiore75:
I can't speak for anyone else but I was just able to change the notification tone without any issue. When I got a text message a minute later from someone the new notification tone that I chose was used. So this should technically be working for you as far as I can tell.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] TX_Mason:
Sorry guys. I suffer from premature postulation. I was out running errands, and tried the speed test again. I 46.4 down, 9.96 up in a moving truck with a 4 bar signal.

I'm impressed and a big thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dabeej:
Now I wonder if you could have gotten those speeds without using this ROM (and unlocking your phone)...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] decimusmaximus7:
Same here, I can only use 2.4.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tonyfiore75:
Speeds are always going to be a tough thing to measure due to a lot of inconsistencies with signal strength, interference, etc. It can literally change from second to second depending on so many things. You'd literally have to test a modded phone side by side with an unmodded one, at the same time, for like a week straight to get any kind of accurate benchmark for both.

I guess all we can really go with is consistencies that we do notice, like at home on a regular basis.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tejones36:
I'm not the guy in minny, I'm in St Louis. :) So if you've heard anything about when we might get LTE, let me know! :D

---------- Post added at 03:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:31 PM ----------

Folks,

There's a benchmarking thread for the skyrocket, and all the evidence so far shows Quadrant is a steaming pile of crap for recent phones. Try using CF-Bench, PassMark, or AnTuTu. Reliability of the benchmarks are pretty much in that order at teh moment.

You can run Quadrant 10 times and get answers from 1600-3950 on stock. It's random.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Charsher47:
It's running great for me. I didn't notice any increase in LTE speeds but stock I always scored mid 5600's in AnTuTu Benchmark and now I score around 5800 consistently. It even sometimes passes the stock OGSGS2 score. Highest score so far is 5841. I know others have gotten higher but that's what I've been getting. Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] shabbypenguin:
holy crap..... sit down folks its gunna be a long one...

1) stock.. with no bloat removed... ok.. i guess...

2) thethering? wtf? is that the wifi tethering app? version 2.0.7? teh latest one from here?

3) insecure kernel? how so..? its stock kernel pulled from the phone.. nothing NOTHING done to it.. da_g just figured out how to pack them (its different then mnormal boot.img's hint hint)

4) rooted.. yay? oh look at this.. superuser.apk 2.3.6.3... well at least that one is up to date ya?

5) deodex, ill explain this one later

6) init.d! effin awesome ma- oh.. you added the folder.. well tahts cool too.. so you just need to have someone figure out how to unpack and repack kernels and add init.d support.. BUT THEN! youll be ready to go!!! forward thinkin man.. we need more people like you!

7) build.props are a pain to edit, so thanks for this

8) lolwut? like.. you added teh /data folder? you told the phone its ok to use the data folder? or was it something more like you clicked an option in a script cuz it sounded cool?

9) course.. wouldnt want those build.prop tweaks getting in the way of a stock deodex'd rom...

which brings me to you. yes you.. the random average user. i want each and every one of you to do me a favor.. download this mans rom. then please go here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=633246 and thank this man for making this rom possible.. seriously because everything you see in this rom is from samsung or that thread i linked.. once youve downloaded it go to things like the tools folder and check su_files and apps folders in there.. he didnt even bother to update those two apps.. wifi tether and root (possibly the two most used android apps that require root...

worry not though.. once youve given him 600 bucks im sure he will make a stellar rom based all on his own work.. if i were you id head to payapl and request a refund..

im all for development and i will admit i even use teh kitchen for unpacking and repacking my kernels on teh photon 4g (kernel panics get old fast 10-15 times editing the source code in it ;) ) but damn man.. to take a script and call it your own work and then have the kohonas to ask for money for a phone.. thats amazing.. really, hats off to you mate

i dont mind people using the kitchen its what its there for, but toi brag about being an awesome dev and have thread(s) made about how he can get a phone just gutta donate aso he can make more awesome sauce when all you do is press a number and hit enter? i dont feel as tho the users here deserve that. especially with the implied contract of they bought him a phone they kinda expect results....

Issues I've had with this rom:

1. Networking actually slower.

2. most apps auto-exit after about 20 seconds of them being open (stock browser, XDA app, quick office, etc.)

Now I need to remove this rom and go with something much more stable. I don't understand how a "stock kernel" could be so buggy. :rolleyes:

What's better is that I couldn't even remove the rom and flash with k0nane's truly stock rom backup. I got stuck in Odin mode and flashed 5 times and couldn't get it to work.

Ended up flashing CWR using Odin, and that worked and put me right back where I started with this rom.

Soft rebooted when using gps/navigation along with basically anything else.

Had the same issues on skyrocketeer actually.

I originally could send and receive MMS with this rom. Then I flashed skystocketeer and could send but not receive. Realizing that this was caused by the Carrier IQ removal and flashed back to this rom again. Now I can receive but not send.

Any ideas? I did re-format the usb storage, a factory reset, then wiped cache partition, then flashed this rom using CWM, then I wiped the dalvik cache and fixed permissions.

AT&T Reps...

Hey, now, I used to be one of those gentleman. Some of us DO know what we're talking about (although I'm in 100% agreement that a lot of them just "wing" it). Summer of 2012 is supposed to add roughly 50 more metros. If you're on that list, you're good to go. The rural areas are where it sucks right now. Hell, they JUST got PLUS+ in some rural areas. I was twisted between the Skyrocket and the Vivid but, after seeing this plus the battery capacity on the Skyrocket, it's a no-brainer. This is NUTZO!!!

Melvin great Rom. Can I suggest a couple things for the next version
