[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] superfire71:
After trying many roms, I'm back to Alien. It was great on my atrix, and same on the skyrocket. Except, the S/R is a way better device. So, thanks again rom and ken!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] BigWopHH:
Digging this ROM on my Skyrocket as well. Any chance for an update soon?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] romracer:
Yes :) I have one minor thing to do and then I just need to find a little time to upload it. By this weekend definitely.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] BigWopHH:
You are a gentleman and a scholar. Thanks! Happy New Year!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] yossiw:
hello romracer.

Thanks for the great rom, i like it very much.

I have one problem with it the Bluetooth device, im able to pair them in first place but when turning off and on the bt in my sr no more connection until i unpair then and pair again.

I have Bluetooth device in my car that worked well with all my phones (iphone, atrix, sg2) but not with the sr (i checked 2 different rom).

I just install the alogcat and i have the log file, can i send it to you for inspection?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] romracer:
You can send it to me, but I would ask that you try with Alien 5 first which is currently uploading. I've fixed a couple of BT issues (mostly HID related but perhaps it matters here).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Treatcon:
I think the only rom this worked for me was on CM. I've tried maybe 6 other roms and none of them auto reconnects either when I've gone out of range or the BT device was turned off and then back on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] yossiw:
Thanks.

But the cm in in alfpha state yet, Dos it stable?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] romracer:
Okay, its been a while coming, but build #5 is posted and its the best ROM yet! :) Now with Carrier IQ disabled! Check the first post for links and the third post for changes and important notes!

I've also attached PDroid v1.27 to the first post for those interested in using it. You can read more about it here. If you're into the whole privacy thing, its really a great mod. You can use the PDroid restore zip if you want to undo it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] yossiw:
Thanks again.

I will defiantly install the ver 5 tomorrow and let you know if it fix the problem.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] BigHulkDiesel:
Best battefy life yet!

Wow! Fantastic ROM! The reason I got this phone was because I actually like Touchwiz and you kept it close to the same appearance and added tons better performance! I have been off charge for 9 hours now and am at 78%. I have flashed and reflashed roms the last couple weeks but I am now an Alien user for a long time!

After installing the ver 5 the battery mod not working for me.

Any idea why?

Read the help in the first post? Its not cooked in by default.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dxwilliams40:
I have tried a few roms in this section but this is the best for my needs. I have been satisfied with stock performance and this is the first rom that I have kept for more than 24 hours on my skyrocket.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bekarhoo:
Thanks romracer for picking up the alien series. Finally took the plunge to move away from stock. Initial prognosis is good.

The only issue I see is it keeps popping up that it wants to pair with some bluetooth device. Anyone noticed that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kurtolson:
I thought BT was fixed in the latest version of this rom, after a full wipe, I was able to pair (for the first time since Alien #3) with my Think Outside and Motorola Bluetooth keyboards. However, after repeated use of the 14 panel toolbar, I find that no matter how I toggle Bluetooth on, (via panel) or via "wireless settings | bluetooth | enable" it seems go go into an loop where it turns on and off about once every 10 seconds. I did a logcat and found:

E/BluetoothEventLoop( 344): *** A serious error occurred (did bluetoothd crash?) - restarting Bluetooth ***

I also have seen:

I/USERIAL_LINUX(21516): ***userial_io_init_bt_wake(): Ooops, asserted BT_WAKE signal, but still got BT_WAKE state == to

0

I wonder what the best way to handle this? I'd recommend putting BT back to stock at this point.

By the way, thanks for disabling CIQ -- very nice.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] BigHulkDiesel:
Just an update, I have been off charge now for 1 day and 7 hours on this rom and am at 8% battery. This is also off the first full charge on this ROM. I think it will only get better! No bugs found yet!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] gomo187:
So far ROM is very good. Speed is very nice, no FCs. Only thing I haven't checked is BT. Thanks for your work romracer.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] yossiw:
I did.

i just needed the install your battery mod twice for it to work.

I still have problem (different then rev 4) with the Bluetooth device.

Can i send the alogcat to your email?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sulpher:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] romracer:
If you reboot, does it work again for a while? Not saying this is ideal, but it might help me narrow down where the problem lies.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] BigWopHH:
Awesome ROM.

Just want to thank you for this one, RomRacer. Since installing this, I haven't turned on my i777 and have moved to the SkyRocket.

If you even need any PC hardware, shoot me a PM. I don't have cash for donations, but have access to tons of PC hardware.

No problem at all, i will do it this evening.

Thanks allot as always.

Using Alien #5.

Bluetooth won't connect with any of my devices. It tries, but ultimately fails.

Also, my battery won't charge past 50%...probably needs to be calibrated but we'll see.

Other than that, the ROM looks/feels pretty good.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sulpher:
Yup same. Love the rom overall, everything else seems to work great, but bluetooth won't enable. Just sticks on "turning on..." then eventually gives up with nothing said.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] yossiw:
Its seems that Bluetooth not working for all of us.

Dos someone succeeded to work with Bluetooth in other ROMs (2.3.6)?

Maybe romracer will give us more info if there is any solution that issue at all.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sulpher:
Well got it to turn on now but now its trying to get me to pair to some non existent device that has an address of all zero's.. And wont scan for new devices.

Oddly enough the sixaxis controller app works.. But i guess its bypassing the android bluetooth anyways...

No rush, my most important bluetooth device works at least (ps3 remote)... Hehe..

Excellent battery life! Left a monitor on for a while with the phone idle. This is with all my apps and **** already installed and running. I'm very picky about my idle battery.. ;p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sulpher:
Okay done some more fiddling with the bluetooth. Only occasionally will bluetooth actually fail to enable, and if it does usually a reboot will fix. However, there's a couple of issues.. first, the moment bluetooth enables it tries to pair to a device with 00:00:00:00:07:00 address that doesn't exist.. just sits there "pairing" the whole time. Second, I managed to get it paired with a few of my devices but it will never connect.

All the devices I used have been verified working on stock skyrocket.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] draztikrhymez:
I've seen the bluetooth trying to pair to that device too
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kurtolson:
Common Bluetooth issues

I wanted to take a moment to make a few casual observations.

All the 2.3.5 ROMS I have tried (including stock) BT works flawlessly, including HID and HANDSFREE profiles. I haven't messed with Rogers based 2.3.5 ROMS for the record.

All the 2.3.6 roms I have tried, BT either is in a state of "turning on" followed by "turning off" (repeat forever) when enabled (if you use the 14 panel toggle).... or if you goto "settings | wireless | bluetooth | enable BT" to enable it....then it turns on, and as others have said, will initially pair with my two HID keyboards, but won't actually connect. One is a Think Outside folding BT keyboard, the other is a standard Motorola BT keyboard for the Xoom.

Where I find myself:

I don't want to live with the battery life of the stock (or any other 2.3.5 ROM) so I find myself using Alien #5, sadly without BT. As I said, any other 2.3.6 ROM I have tried has the same issue.:mad:

---------- Post added at 07:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:30 AM ----------

Any chance at all that we can make a Alien #6 that is based off the 2.3.5 stock ROM to address the BT issues with all the other tweaks we love?

Hello romracer.

Can you had in the next version the roboto font?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] romracer:
Build #5.5 posted. It includes the Roboto FlipFont. I'd recommend a reboot after applying it because the status bar can look sort of weird (clock in particular). Should be fine after that.

This should also fix the NFC force closes reported but will break Google Wallet - not that it really worked anyway without a SecureElement.

This should also hopefully fix Bluetooth. I don't have a lot of Bluetooth devices to test with, but I don't see the phantom 00:00:00... item to pair with and the things I do pair with seem to work okay.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] yossiw:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] skrambled:
Flashed 5.5 last night and so far so good! Haven't used bluetooth yet but will be trying it next time I get in my car.

Romracer, just wondering, is there a reason the kernel you included isn't an OC capable kernel? What are the benefits of the included kernel over, say, the Faux kernel?

(I should mention that the rom is fast, responsive, and performs as good or better than roms I've used w/ an OC'd kernel...)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] romracer:
I tried to keep the ROM pretty stock. It has enhancements and what not, but I tried not to go too overboard - its sort of the theme song for the Alien series. Because of that, the ROM uses my stock-ish kernel which does not have UV/OC built in.

With that said, you can use faux's kernel fine I believe, I just didn't want to force someone into an OC situation if that's not really what they care for.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] skrambled:
Thank you for the reply romracer!

I almost posted last night that my bluetooth in my car wasn't working, but thought I'd try again today before I said anything--and as of this morning it works perfectly!

After pairing for the first time yesterday and having it not work, this morning I had to unpair and delete the pairing on my car and from my phone, and then re-pair them. Works fine now.

What I found strange was that my phone didn't have to enter the passcode from my car, which it always does with a new pairing. Not sure if that helps at all in determining the cause of the old bluetooth issues but I thought I'd throw it out there just in case.
