i feel like an idiot here but i was messing with the lock screen settings and i added the third ring ofr and applications and then to see what it would look like i locked the phone with out setting what app it would launch. when i try to unlock by pulling the center ring, it freezes for a secand then plays the CM7 android skateboard logo and returns to the lock screen ive tried to reboot but it didnt help.

edit:

nvm, i called my phone from another one and was able to bypass the lock screen and change the settings. still dont know y that is happening.

video streaming

I looked up teamliquid.net using the YouTube app, and all the video stuttered and jerked. Then I used the phone's browswer to view the same (what kind of starcraft game playing is all that? complicated!) stuff and the video streamed flawlessly.

I didn't understand what I was watching but I could sure tell the difference in video quality between using the phone browser and the broken YouTube phone app.

Edit:

I will make a note to myself, next time I get a hankering to flash again, I'll mess with the phone lock screen settings! Check. Love being able to flash my way out of trouble....

Let us know if you use the volume buttons, what combination you used to get into recovery mk94, thanks.

btw Being as it took me a while to figure this out on my own, having an image of your skyrocket to re-flash is a handy thing. I used to set up from scratch all the time.

Once you have a handset running the way you want, go back into recovery and actually select backup, and make one.

I read words like nandoid and titanium and have no clue what that's all about (perhaps I'm using it correctly without realizing the names of stuff) But there is options in the scary black screen with dos writings, (it's clockworkmod recovery), to make a backup image, and it will make a large 300 mb ~or so~ file on your SD card.

So when I was done playing with the hotrod Da_G shared, I just pulled the battery (as it was SoD) cuz I'd had enough, and did my 3 button press and waited for the vibration... buzz buzz buzz... let go power, keeping volume up and down held until I see a logo then let go of the phone. That's my method of getting to that dark scary place. Then of course you use volume up and down to navigate and find your recovery image and select with the power button.

My phone restored just exactly how I had it, apps 'n all!

Anyone here have low volume issues during a call? I have the volume maxed during a call and its way lower than the stock rom's volume.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tacotino:
Haha thanks mang, i ended up flashing Rom anyway lol I can't stay away from cm7 I love it too much!

yeah starcraft is game I play, very fun RTS.. I sometimes stream there .. but anyway titanium back and N-backup are a plus!!!

Titanium - with this app you can backup all your apps and info associated with those apps like save data.. also makes it very nice when you flash as much as I do.

N-backup this is used when you are flashing something new like cm7... so if you get bootloop you can flash back into cwm. And restore you old ROM, and you not SOL! Best thing in to world IMO.

Also be running cm7 all day forgot how amazing it was.. so fast!!

Also guy that is having audio issue download volume+ from the market and adjust it to make your phone calls better...

Yeah I'm going to out up a theme wall in our app and themes section tonight.. for all use cm7 users

Monster cm7

Okay I have been trying to figure out what you're talking about. So I google some stuff and I'm trying to learn new things it still doesn't make a lot of sense to me and I included a little screenshot. Am I on the wrong track as usual?

I mean I am just fine with being able to pull into clockwork mod and flash image of my phone. Easiest way to be restored exactly to the way it was before I went down the garden path....

But we can always do better. Trying to pick up what you're laying down might be out of my reach.

I reflect on how the wife and I were blown away by star craft. We were watching and there's announcing going on as stuff got burned up... us old guys are having a hard time keeping up on this stuff.

So what's the matter with the simplicity of clockworkmod? It gives you an image to flash back to after you tell it to make a backup. I saw it in that scary black screen place with all the dos writings. I found a selection to make a backup and I did. I also located it with Root Explorer and saw that it was over 300MB in size. And after I had my fun with DaG's hotrod, I pressed my buttons after replacing the battery and I knew what I was looking for on my SD card and flashed it. Got my phone back.

To me, I'm not broke and I'm not fixing me. If you got a better way, then learn to at least articulate as well as a f@#$%&g biker. I can just smell that you guys are way better at this than me, but I wish I could at least print what you know.

Sounds like I didn't use either one of those high faluting applications you're describing, and at my age, less is more.

I'm stickin' with the basics.

SuperOneClick with the computer for root.

Rom Manager from the market for ClockworkMod.

"APN backup and restore" app from the market.

Making sure you have a wifi to use after you flash.

Using Root Explorer to make a copy on the chip you have to populate in the skyrocket. (AT&T sells the skyrocket with no external chip! GRRR!)

no gapps, just Version 4 in the OP and Da_G's kernel.

Root Explorer is great. You can just long press the folder "ApnBackupRestore" in emmc, and then navigate to sdcard and select "paste" in the root of that folder and it's .xml contents will be copied to the chip you put in your skyrocket.

All I see we are missing on this whole thing, is the most correct way to mash the buttons after you put the battery back in.... to light up that scary black screen with the dos writings!

Screenshot of battery usage. Got to talking to an old friend on the phone then forgot to plug it in before I went to sleep last night. It showed 3% when I got up this morning. And as far as what uses the most power, and gets the phone warm to the touch, of anything is the actual phone calling.

i don't have time today to test this but I am curious what adding this to the build prop would do if anything

in the past I have done it to fix streaming lag but it has also broken other things (like the youtube mobile site)

make a nanadroid if you try it...and make sure to back up your build prop

stagefright.enable-player=true

media.stagefright.enable-http=false

media.stagefright.enable-fma2dp=false

media.stagefright.enable-aac=true

media.stagefright.enable-qcp=true

on aosp roms the lines are not there at all, but it appears that stagefright IS enabled

I could be completely wrong but I know I have done this on multiple devices since the evo to improve streaming, just can't remember if I previously used it on aosp

@tacotino, thanks for the tip. Unfortunately volume+ doesn't help with in call volume. It adds steps to allow u to increase the volume, but doesn't actually increase it? Maybe Da_g could take a look? I'm gonna ask in his kernel thread.

Ok just flashed this and the kernel everything is working great ;P but sadly have found some issues for me...

***So everything i backed up automatically went to my internal storage instead of my external sd through go launcher, super back up, titanium, etc... its still saved under "emmc" but these apps do not search for the file here. Can i just rename this folder to something the apps will recognize or will i have to move the contents somewhere else?

And i also have noticed some glitchy (not laggy) noise when pressing next song on the stock music app but is not the worst I've heard coming from the X10 on 2.3 lol

any help on these issues especially on the *starred* one is greatly appreciated and i know this being an android on xda, there is a solution.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] fukenbiker:
Goto the market and download root explorer, you have to use it to copy everything from emmc to sd card because CyanogenMod turns it around in the external and internal gets swapped on the sd cards so copy to both. Generally, only folks that run their skyrocket with empty chip slot have that trouble. AT&T is so bad they used to populate the infuse with at least a 2GB chip, now the skyrocket comes empty and you have to get your own chip. I use a Lexar class 10, 32GB micro SD. Works great. Any chip that fits in the slot will work. Remove battery for access.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] fukenbiker:
Do not rename you can copy but do not rename
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NIKEstickER:
thanks for the quick and high quality reply ;D

so just found the option to change where titanium searches and saves so no need to move that one and moving my super backup to sdcard/ worked thanks! still in a pickle about what i should move to sd because some games that downloaded data to the internal will have to be moved but thanks for the info about how CM7 and how the stock read the memory... guess im staying on CM7 for a while haha

Ok, so after two weeks use heres my thoughts...

Loved it at first, pretty easy on the eyes and very snappy.

But...the bugs were overwhelming and this could NOT currently be my daily driver even though i tried to overlook them.

Youtube is un-watchable. If you try to watch a vid via the app or browser it skips horrendously making it extremely annoying.

When i let it charge overnight, after its done my bottom softkeys dont work. They dont even vibrate either...have to reboot.

If it dies completely and powers off, when i plug it in (without pressing power) it half-reboots itself. The boot animation starts and your lockscreen appears but you cannot interact with it at all, the softkeys either. By far the wierdest i have seen ever...lol.

When playing music, if you put it on standby sometimes resets the song to the beginning for some reason... like 30% chance

All in all, i know there is still work being done and appreciate it, just giving a heads up to people who want to use it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wasimahmad:

Are you talking or farting? Did you read the thread? The fix for the broken YouTube app ... IS ... the browser.

You didn't try viewing with the browser did you? HA!

so pay attention...

It is a work around. I use the browser instead of the YouTube App and video plays perfect. No hiccups.

I will leave you rest on the remainder of your rant.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Global Swag:
It plays fine if you hold it straight but not in landscape, i clearly stated i tried it in browser, suck a fat ****. Failed troll
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] fukenbiker:
You best re-flash. You messed something up somehow.

The browser is a work around that fixes YouTube good.

I'm not a troll. I'm an honest to goodness blue collar flasher. No programming experience. Not the Developer. But I test stuff and I read what everyone else contributes.

So far all you did was fart.

Suffer then.

I use the heck out of this Skyrocket. I'm laughing. I am using CM and ordinary f-u's can't for one reason or another.

I will be honest this android open source project seems to have a mind of its own and the phone needs time to settle in and I've been playing with this darn thing it amazes me how it really does seem to have a mind of its own.

That said, it took little time for this cm 7 to settle in and be a good stable daily driver for me.

The work around is easy you use your phone's browser to access youtube and watch the videos using the phone's browser and it works flawlessly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] XsceneXhippieX:
Gotta say, through flash or html5 on my browser I get no hiccups in video playback of any sort, unless you purposefully crank up the quality to 720p or 1080p which isn't really necessary for a YouTube clip imo.. Add even then its barely skippy, like one missed frame every 15 seconds. If your browser isn't paying back video smoothly I would say uninstall and reinstall flash from the market, and if that doesn't work reflash, I'm using it with no issues just as many others

wifi will just not connect to any wifi network.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jlmelancon:
As mentioned in an earlier post you do need to install the kernel to get WiFi to work. I had the same issue when I first installed this rom to my phone. Works fine after that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] XsceneXhippieX:
NOTE: personal preference.

I recommend da_g v4 kernel because its (to me at least) much snappier, everything works phenomenally, I'm on cm7/da_g using wifi right now to send this post, a read through this thread well probably lead you to the two step process

1. Flash cm7 v4,

2. Flash da_G's awesome kernel

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jlmelancon:
I've been using this rom for a bit and love it. I do have one issue:

The cellular radio acts up quite a bit. Most of the time it sits at -113 dBm / 0 asu regardless of where I am. And under Mobile Network Type in Status it shows "unknown". It will briefly show "HSPA" or even "HSPA+" if the signal improves, but always reverts back to "unknown" with -113 dBm / 0 asu.

For example, in my house under the stock rom it will hover around -98 dBm / 20 asu. With CM7 at the very same spot it stays at -113 dBm / 0 asu.

Also, it jumps between 4G and H quite a bit along with going from white to green and back, logging in and out of Google. This doesn't happen in stock.

This is with CM7 version 4 with the latest kernel from Da_G (0.43pre v4). I've followed the instructions in the OP and have the APN configured properly...aside from not adding "internet + mms" to the APN Type. The radio would stop altogether if I did that.

Any thoughts?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] the2rrell:
i have been using System tuner and it words great, but i like set cpu as well.

MANY people will recomend on there experiance and also there settings, but you really do have to play it to find what it best....every phone is different. some can be over clocked more than others. some seem to work better with certain scaling than others.

so just check it out....worst you will get is a reboot. just save the setting for BOOT until you find a stable set for you.

384-1700 when using

384-1000 when on a call

384-1000 when battery >20

192- 432 when screen is off

Yeah, I that's been my experience as well. I don't know of a fix unfortunately.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] fukenbiker:
You manually put the APN in and got it to work? Sounds like not very well. There has been lengthy discussion in pages back about an app you download from the market called APN Backup and Restore.

You make sure your skyrocket has an external micro SD chip, ATT sells it with the slot empty.

Run that app after you flash back to some other rom where your signal works, then restore that APN once you flash CyanogenMod.

Flash the two step like described above. You wont have a signal so you will have to use wifi to set your phone up. Once you get that app back on the skyrocket and lit up, select to restore APN (read back in pages about folder trouble and why I say to populate that slot with a chip first thing)

I've never seen anything like it. Sure the skyrocket is fast. CyanogenMod made my skyrocket even FASTER.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jlmelancon:
I'll try APN backup and restore again. I didn't mention it before, but I did read those posts and tried that. It didn't come out right though. There was no APNs set. I expect I didn't follow the directions fully. Otherwise this Rom rocks!

Update: I did a back/restore of the APNs as you reommended. This time it did work and an APN was listed, but I still have the issue of the signal staying at -133 dBm / 0 asu.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unteagle:
I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the ROM, but sometimes when I plug my phone into charge, it will say that it's charging but will gradually lose battery percentage while on the charger, and when I check the battery usage, it says that it's still running on battery. It doesn't happen all the time, which is one of the main reasons I'm confused.

This is usually only fixed by me having to take the battery out and putting it back in several times.
