This ROM is based on the official Rogers Stock ROM, and has been optimized for both AT&T and Rogers users. It will wipe your data so be sure and do a nandroid backup before you flash. This ROM uses a new method to flash, it flashes a complete system.img.ext4 to the system partition...similar to an ODIN flash but without tripping the flash counter. The IMG file is modified from the original stock with all permissions preserved which should provide you with a ROM as stable as Stock Odin Flash and with all speed/features of a custom ROM. Special thanks to Da_G for all his help with the ROM, and providing us with a great custom kernel :) You should have a stable, fast, reliable ROM suitable for everyday use with this release.

WiFi Sharing excessive CPU

TPC - I did find one problem, you might want to check it on your side as well.

I found out that every time on a new reboot. Once the system loads, Wifi Sharing start to poll on the cpu excessively. I can freeze it, then clear data then unfreeze and it would settle down, but once it reboots, the problem comes back. OR I can freeze the app completely.

But I don't think it should be doing this on a "normal" basis since it wasn't do this before when running the ATT stock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] latinohot:
could that may be causing the phone to heat up?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Phoneguy589:
I was having that problem yesterday, wifi scan killing the battery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] twopumpchump:
Thanks guys!

thanks for reporting, I will give it a look after work this afternoon...cya on IRC :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] twopumpchump:
just posted to OP a patch to install visual voicemail for AT&T those of you who want it and also the ics and gb keyboards :) thanks to p4s for making it easy over on IRC.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mbze430:
The only "temporary" fix I know how to stop FTS (FilesTransferService) to eat up the CPU cycle is to:

1) If you have a program like Titanium Backup (paid), or System Tuner (paid), you can freeze and unfreeze it. It will stop

or try

2) Going in to Settings -> Wifi -> Wifi Direct and enable it for a few minutes and then turning off (but this method doesn't work 100% the time)

FTS/FTM/FTC is part of the WIFI Direct. As to why every time you reboot the phone the FTS goes to hell, still looking in to it.

TPC, can we have this mod built into the rom please, that way hulu will work right out of the gate

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1119530
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] twopumpchump:
i've never used hulu...does this zip work for our device? I will do some checking to see what all is affected and make sure it doesn't break something else in the rom. If the zip works, I really don't understand why it needs to be in the rom...not everyone uses hulu(example me).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] romracer:
Its basically just a hexedit on the libflashplayer.so. They change AND to WIN and the version to 99,9,999,999 type situation, so Hulu sees the mobile device as Windows and a high version number (to prevent saying the Flash player is out of date). It just gets overwritten the minute you update Flash through the market to a newer version. Personally, if people need this, they should be applying it themselves and not tampering with Flash binaries (which could affect other sites that are trying to determine mobile users)

There are other threads out there that detail the changes more thoroughly, that thread is just a "how to" posted by someone to take the trickiness out of it.

A slightly better solution in my mind is something like this thread which uses the official mobile app instead of hacking Flash. This one does work on our device too (tested by me):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1257277

I'm not saying it should be incorporated to the ROM, but people should just follow the link and use it if they need Hulu.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] twopumpchump:
thanks :) you save me alot of research time. From my experience in the past, stuff like this needs to be added by the user who wants it...not forced on everyone who flashes the rom. If the zips don't work for our device, i don't mind making the edits myself and making a zip...but it won't be cooked into the rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] twopumpchump:
For now, you can change the locale easily with MoreLocale2 :) Just create a new local label is en US and thats it. I will try to have this changed by next version.

also please make the zip for me, so i can use hulu, please:o

---------- Post added at 09:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:14 PM ----------

Also don't forget to theme the shutdown screen(power off)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] twopumpchump:
I don't mind doing it, but first priority is getting the rom fixed up like it needs to be. In the mean time, you could always grab a hex editor and fix it yourself...romracer just made an excellent post telling you how. The boot animation and shutdown animation are in a samsung file that is a format i have never seen before(my first sammy phone), but from what i have read there are no tools to edit them.

These are my first priorities with the ROM:

1. get full conversion to AT&T USA--language, locale, etc.

2. work out any bugs that may be in the rom

3. clean it up and optimize it for performance

4. unlock stock kernel and make a few changes that will not affect stability(no oc)

when all of this is done to my satisfaction, then i will move on to more "cosmetic" changes. Please be patient...I work 50-60 hours a week, have a family, am a moderator here at XDA, and occasionally like to kick back and have a cold beer :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] latinohot:

All you have to do is go to UOT Kitchen, upload framework-res.apk, SystemUI.apk, and tw-framework.apk then choose what kind of battery you want and flash.

Question

Just a few Questions

1.) When I do a Nandroid backup that insures that if something goes wrong that I can put my phone back to the way it was?

2.) When I use TB to restore can I use apps and system data or just missing apps with data.

3.) Does flashing a lot ROM's make your phone slow? and does flashing stock recovery put your phone back to the way it was when you took it out the box. (Other then the counter being tripped)

Oh what the heck are SoD's?? I cant find that definition any where?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] phonecurious:
Sleep Of Death means your phone does not wake up from sleep mod and you have to reboot it by holding your phone power button for 10 secs
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ajamils:
After updating the kernel to Stock-ish kernel, I did not experience any SOD but there is a serious problem (don't know whether its kernel related or ROM) but everytime, I get call, my phone restarts. Sometimes, I am able to pick up the call but then phone restarts within seconds.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] droidgreg:
I have a request. I loved the boot up animation from V2 better than the SGS2 stock animation. Anyway to link up the flashable SGS2 LTE boot up animation seen on the V2?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] twopumpchump:
It has to be something besides the rom, I have never had this happen. Were you having SOD with Da_G's kernel?

Search around xda, if you find one someone has posted send me a link and I can fix it for our device. The only way i know of that you can get the exact bootanimation from v2 is to flash a stock kernel. Da_G's kernel is modified to use sanimation.zip in /media, so the stock bootanimation will not work. The format of the files for the stock animation are qmg format and I have no idea how to convert them to regular images sorry.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] droidgreg:
no problem... I flashed the stock kernel anyway since I was having an issue with Da_G Kernel, I couldn't reflash google talk back on the device. The stock kernel is slower but proven to be stable so I'll stick with that
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ajamils:
Yes, I was having SOD with Da_G's kernel and that's why I switched. It's weird that after posting the issue earlier, I have received several calls and phone did not reboot even once.

OK, I just realized that could have caused the issue. I changed my sound setting from "Vibrate on Silent" to "Always Vibrate" and that's when the issue started and I reverted it back to "Vibrate on Silent Only" and no reboots.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dma770:
Would you be able to post a stockish kernal. I am having fast battery Drain. Other than that this rom is the most stable thus far. And did I mention that the wifi tethering is working now
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] stepheng:
Romracer has a thread a few down called stockish kernel I believe it has worked with all roms I have used here so far as.

i'm experiencing faster battery drain also. anybody know what are the cpu master settings would mimic a stock rom? i'm at 384/1566 w/ondemand scaling, i'll return to the stock kernel but i'd rather use da_g's kernel.

update: flashed the stockish kernel and was able to tether via USB and wifi. I noticed the boot animation for the stockish doesn't include 'LTE'.

Haroonie, I had the same questions and didn't find any answers in a quick search so... I am using 192-1782 on-demand and bfq enabled on the advanced tab - based on what I've read in searches - I am getting MUCH better battery life and no SOD yet... going on app 20 hrs with infreq use I'm at 72%
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] InstigatorX:
Advanced tab?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sulpher:
I loved the rom as a whole, definitely my favorite of the current ones.. but coming from stock to TPC v3 there is a significant increase in battery drain while the phone is inactive for some reason.. with the same apps and settings it was about the same during heavy usage, but drained 3-4 times the amount of stock when it was idle with the screen off. Using system monitor it didn't show any increase in cpu usage (under 1%) or any specific app eating battery but it was draining faster. Verified its in deep sleep, and I don't get any SoD's or FC/rogue processes. Was on da_g's .43 pre2 kernel for both stock and tpc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] twopumpchump:
It must be something you have installed, the last two nights i have went over 6 hours sleep and still at 100%. I wish i knew how to tell you to fix it, but it just doesn't hardly drain at all while its sleeping for me.

ps. what radio do you have?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sulpher:
Stock radio unless your rom flashes a new one. Just have a nand of stock (+.43 da_g) and one of tpc (+.43) and been comparing battery. I know the apps add to the battery drain, but i had the same ones installed for each rom version, and the only difference was the battery loss while idle. With no additional process listed as using the cpu, just the extra battery loss...

I'll try testing with no apps on either to see.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] twopumpchump:
Try re-flashing the stock radio, or one of the other radios in the radio thread. My rom comes with the Rogers RIL to match Rogers radio, if you flash one of the radio zips from my thread you will have matching radio/RIL and should get better battery life :) That is the only thing that could make a difference between my rom and att stock...give it a try and let me know how it comes out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ezshooter:
In CPU Master Pro v2.2 there's an advanced tab.... and if I have done this right the pics attached to better clarify

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ajamils:
Running Stock-ish kernel and the battery life has been great but I still get random SOD from time to time. Got only one today but had couple yesterday and on top of that I still cannot figure out why the phone restarts when I'm talking on the phone.

For some weird reason it happens randomly and only on incoming calls. I can talk for 20+ minutes on a placed call and it won't restart but on incoming calls, sometimes it happens within seconds and other time after couple of minutes and sometime it does not happen at all :confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] twopumpchump:
something is definitely not right, I would recommend flashing the stock att radio first....link is in my signature. If that doesn't work, try re-flashing and wiping dalvik cache.

Da_G's 0.3 kernel is extremely stable - I've never had an SoD, and the reports from other folks are the same. The 0.4x series seem to be having some issues for me and others (although it runs fine for Da_G, which is why the SoD issue is so hard fir him to find!), but 0.3 is very stable and overclocks very well. I run stable at @ 1782 Mhz, although I usually just run @ 1728 Mhz. I've successfully benched at up to 1836 Mhz.

0.3 doesn't have the 192 Mhz step exposed; it does have 54 Mhz but apparently this is cosmetic. I'm not sure what the real freq is, but I've had > 31 hours of not charging with moderate/heavy usage.

There's an overclocking sticky that also has battery data. It's mostly using the Da_G's 0.3 release except where it's noted that the stock kernel is used.

And yeah, Quadrant can vary by a thousand points even on the stock kernel. :-) I wish it would just be retired as abandonware since it's pretty useless. Antutu is a good bench with fairly low variance in the results though.

Da_G does great work though, I'm sure he'll have a fix soon.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ajamils:
Reinstall the ROM after doing a factory reset and clearing all caches and was getting even more random reboots.

Don't know what's going on. Maybe it's a hardware issue ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] davidusr:
I'm down 20% in 3.5 hours. Not much use. Is da-g's kernel in included in the ROM? Or do I need to install it seperate? I have 2.6.35.11...I'm guessing that's not dags kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] twopumpchump:
The only thing i know to suggest is to flash the official stock odin att rom, then in the stock recovery format data and cache. Then re-root and try flashing custom roms.

Da_G's kernel is included in the rom, download cpu spy you will see the version there.

Battery drain and WiFi

I've noticed my SR doesn't go into Deep Sleep when WiFi is enabled. I'm running v3 and tried with Stock-ish, DaG 4.3pre2, and Stock AT&T. Kernels have no effect. I've even reset to factory defaults with the same results. WiFi off, but HSPA+ on the system goes into Deep Sleep. The moment I turn WiFi on, Deep Sleep never kicks in. I've tried changing the WiFi policy, but that doesn't help.

Any clues? I don't have any apps other than Gmail account setup and CPU Spy (so I can see cpu states).:confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] twopumpchump:
I will look into this tonight, I have noticed that the battery drains more than it should when wifi is on.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] InstigatorX:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Ridilen:
First off I love the ROM. Working much betrer than the original Rogers ROM, and a lot less crap.

Question for you though. How are you setting the CPU speed?

Thanks.

Ridilen
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] norcalsfinest:
twlauncher, adw ex, Facebook, YouTube, browser. That's all I tried before I switched to my backups
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] twopumpchump:
Well i came home today and tested....my phone does go into deep sleep with wifi on and connected. I also had Da_G check his and his works correctly too :confused: I really don't know why yours won't go into deep sleep, maybe other people can check and see if its happening to them?

The rom as it is released has the default 1516mh speed, the same as a stock rom. If you ask how i personally set mine, I use a script and no cpu app. Thats why i get such good battery life and never have SOD :)

All of those apps that are supposed to rotate do rotate for me. Twlauncher does'nt do landscape as far as i know, but the browser and youtube work fine for rotation in the rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Ridilen:
Thanks twopumpchump.

Could you assist me with the script?

Ridilen
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] twopumpchump:
Here is the script i use, its in flashable zip format. Be warned...if for some reason this makes you have a bootloop you will have to use ADB to delete the script /system/etc/init.d/99oc to fix it. This is what works for me, it is OC to 1.72mh and min level is 192 with ondemand governor. Just because this works for me, does not mean it will work for you...flash at your own risk. DO NOT USE ANY CPU TUNER APPS WITH THIS SCRIPT.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] InstigatorX:
Sheesh...thought you'd come up with something magical to fix the problem. heh heh.

I did a factory reset and same results...I'll try a complete new install from CWM. Also, is there anything on WiFi AP that could be causing the phone to stay awake?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] twopumpchump:
I'm looking through all the wifi files in /system/etc/ now, I will try to adjust some things and test to see if it helps with battery. As far as the phone not going into deep sleep, there is no way I can fix that if it isn't broken for me sorry.
