[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jayrod88:
Just wanted to chime in, I am having issues as some others are flashing the update file (w/ 1080p). I get the dreaded installation aborted error in CWM. I wiped 3 times before flashing RC5_b. After flashing that I let the phone reboot. I then went back into recovery and attempted to flash the update file. I am trying another factory data reset to see if that works... I will update the post once I get it to work.

*UPDATE*

So it seems that after wiping endlessly(data, cache, and dalvik) the update finally went through on the 5th attempt in CWM. Now I'll reboot in ROM manager to fix permissions.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] giant420:
I had the same issue. Just try flashing the update multiple times in a row. I think it worked for me on the third of fourth try. No reboots or extra wipes needed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] yossiw:
Hello everyone.

I agree this is great rom but i have 2 major problem making me consider moving to stock:

im using the 2.3.6 rc 4.6b

1. battery drain is fast.

2. Bluetooth device in my car are working only when a pair then again and again, for some reason when i turn of the Bluetooth and turn it on again i need to pair again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mimart7:
Try RC5_b, more stable, and better battery life. You'll need to do a factory reset, and wipe both caches three times before flashing this rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] yossiw:
thanks.

Dos rc5_b is 2.3.6 or 2.3.5?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jayrod88:
Rc5_b is 2.3.5.

Any chance that we will see update to the 2.3.6 rom soon?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Jooosty:
I believe that there will be no updates to the 2.3.6

The RC_5B is a compilation of 3.5 and 3.6. A hybrid platform.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] yossiw:
Thanks.

I meant not for the android version, for our rom builed on the 2.3.6.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mimart7:
It's based on 2.3.5.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] yossiw:
the rc4.6b is base on 2.3.6.

For those of you having install errors..i had then too..I just cleared cache and fix permissions but still had the error..however..when I rebooted the phone it actually took. I was running 5.3hx so it might be worth a shot just to.reboot and see if it.took.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] guygreller:
i think it flags tethering with CIQ on stock ROM and it is disable in this ROM, so i am hopping this is not an issue here.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Indian9990:
Correct..most of the CIQ stuff has been removed and if you look in OP it says you can tether.

I'm also using go sms and my phone isn't vibrating at all. I'll try to troubleshoot it tonight.

-sent from my Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] aSquard:
The problem I found was using TiBackup - some reason it kills the SMS vibrate function. Unfortunately you'll have to wipe the device and install the apps one-by-one without using TiBackup and viola - your SMS notifications will now vibrate. If anyone has a better solution I'm all ears.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jayrod88:
While that is a fix, its hardly a solution. I've used titanium backup for all phones & roms and never had this issue. I'm sure there is something goofy going on. I simply have too many apps (109) and data. I can live without vibration for now :)

Thanks for the tip though.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Indian9990:
I used Titanium backup for my apps and my vibrate still works on my phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jayrod88:
Someone mentioned something about GO SMS being the culprit, do you use this app? If so, did you "restore" it from TB?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] aSquard:
True, restoring apps the old way is a PAIN. I've tried using TiBackup for the other apps, then downloading GoSMS from the market and still had no luck getting my vibrate to function with SMS notifications. :-(

Noob here, but I am getting a Skyrocket today. I want ICS on it.

Before beginning these steps, do I have to root the phone ? Could anyone just give me a very quick step by step, in simple terms ? I will read up on the above instructions for details.

Which method will provide the phone in the best working order ?

Can I go back to stock in the future ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Treatcon:
This is not ICS, it is 2.3.5 1/2. ICS is 2.4.x

Rooting is in another topic, same forum.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] randypurcz:
Is it ok to use superoneclick to root, then install CWM ?

Boot from CWM, and go to the first zip rom indicated ?

Oh and thanks for your help ! I tried to find a video tutorial on youtube, but nothing in particular for the skyrocket.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mariol66:
i have a quick question. Will mms still work even though ciq is removed on this rom? And i use go SMS so will my vibrate notification function not work either?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ThinkinBig:
Yes mms works, I can't comment on the vibrate function with go sms as I just use the stock message app, but everything works flawlessly for me on this ROM
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mariol66:
Thanks for the clarification man
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] randypurcz:
Which one are you using ? The 2.3.5 or 2.3.6 ?

Why is the RC # higher on 2.3.5 ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Tiplite2004:
Hey guys don't know if this issue was addressed already but after installing the rom my internet reads in a weird language; ANy idea how to get it back to English?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mimart7:
The RC # is higher on 2.3.5 because there were issues with battery life, and fc's on 2.3.6. RC5_b has been far more stable for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Indian9990:
You can use super one click if you would like..I read the bible post in the main forum and then just used the root methods that he used..worked great for me..but yea once rooted..you want tto boot into clockwork and then factory reset..wipe data..wipe cache..ect and install the 5_b zip and then 5.31hx or another version

Hope this helps!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Indian9990:
Try going into applications and clearing the data for the web. That might be your best bet :-)

Just installed this morning and it went smooth with no issues. So far I'm liking it and its running great with no issues. What r some of the kernel's that everyone is running with this rom?

Update coming in like two days .. Omw home from vacation.found bugs after keeping the ROM and caches in tact all week.. Minor stuff thanks for the patience

This ROM has no ciq.. Which Means at&t can't see tethering... unless you are just being ridiculous with tethering..like downloading newsgroups and stuff..

Battery life has been phenomenal

Best yet
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] randypurcz:
Cheers to the Dev on this one.

My first rom flash and it is working great. I had the Gnex in both GSM and LTE over the past month, but this phone and rom feel faster and look great.

Keep up the great work ! Bought you a 6 pack - well, a good domestic anyway.......

I tried a couple of da_g's kernels but kept getting the sod's. Currently running the stockish kernel and have had no problems for two days.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bootsie99:
I have tired a few roms and loving this one. However like all the other ROMS I have the same issue

I have my phone connected to my exchange server which requires administrative rights to my device for wiping it if I leave. Which requires you to enter a password every 30 minutes if you dont use the phone for that long. So you go into the security settings and change the timeout to be 30 minutes.

The issue with all these roms thats diffrent from stock is that if you press the power button it will lock the phone and then I have to enter a 8 digit security code every time. In the stock rom when you press the power button it on shuts the screen off and doesnt lock the phone until the 30 minute timer is reached then you have to enter the PIN

Like I said this seems to be an issue with every custom ROM i have tried except the Super Stock one and of course the stock image.

Any thoughts guys?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Zugshad:
ok question.. have installed several roms and doing my friends skyrocket.. I dl'd the 5b and then the 5.31 i factory wiped, wiped dav, wiped cache and then installed 5b, then went in to install the 5.31 second as stated, it does it thing and comes back with a message of E:Error in /sdcard/skyicecreamSZ+RC5.31.zi (Status 0) installation aborted... i have tried installing it again several times.. is there something that I am missing the skyrocket is doing different?

i rooted her phone and everything beforehand so it should have been set up to be ok.. not sure if it installed correctly or not.. holding off booting the phone up till possible answer as I don't want to mess it up at all..

thanks

NM, I figured it out, forgot to do the system format like it says for no ciq, thanks though will have her test it now

Have you tried Touchdown Exchange? With this app you enter the code when you access the app insted of when you wake the phone. Amazon usually has a discount available for this app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] randypurcz:
NFC

Wondering if enabling NFC is a possibility with this rom or in the future ?

Remember everyone, once you flash this rom, update the ICS launcher app, it will look a lot better!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] BigHulkDiesel:
I am in the same situation. The fix for me was flashing the Email.apk from this forum that has the security policy removed. Then you do not have to worry about the pass code. You take a risk that your company will find out, however, Im pretty sure there isn't someone in mine just checking to see if our passcodes have been bypassed!!

I was able to clear up the market crashes by going into the app manager and clearing data for the market.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] nsilverman15:
Let me take a look
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Indian9990:
You should try wiping cache and reflashing the rom. Or go into applications and wipe the data for the market and see if that fixes it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mimart7:
Did you flash rc5_b first? You have to do that before you can use any of the other updates. Full wipe for rc5_b, clear both caches 3 times, then flash. You don't need to reboot after rc5_b, just clear caches 3 times again flash. After that repair permissions in rom manager.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] nsilverman15:
Yes I installed RC5_B, Looks like I need to clear my cache, on a side note, I cleared the cache with friends phone and it messed it up, but i'll make a backup, thanks

odd, I flashed, and rom manager didn't say whether it worked or not, it rebooted and i'm not sure which rom i'm on, lol

How is battery life on 5.31 compared to 4.6b with ciq fix which is what I'm currently running
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mimart7:
Much better than 4.6. After a rom flash you should calibrate you battery so you know much better the battery life is.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] stepheng:
Right on man thanks ill give it a shot then
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] randypurcz:
Any suggestions as to how to calibrate it correctly ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Phoneguy589:
Usually I charge to 100% wipe battery stats use until it dies then recharge back to to 100%. Some people use a battery calibrate app from the market...couple of different ways you can do it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ozone777:
This may have been asked already but here goes:

If I flash 5b and then 5.3, can I then flash 5.31 if I decide to go that route?

Or do I need to start over with 5b first and then flash 5.31?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Seannoxious:
This is how i do it but i would like to clarify that die should be anything under 10%. The new batteries are very good and don't have the memory issues of batteries in the past provided you wipe. After the first full charge it is not necessary to charge back to 100% every time but a lot of people still recommend it as good practice. They do on the other hand have a limited number of recoveries. Using your battery to the point that it has such little juice it can't turn the phone on is not recommended because the battery is only rated to do this a limited number of times. I downloaded one of the battery calibrate apps thinking that the newly flashed rom may not be able to successfully identify the true full capacity of the battery but the only thing it seemed to do is wipe battery info without having to go into recovery.

TLDR version:

1) Charge battery to 100%

2) In recovery wipe battery stats

3) Then charge battery whenever it is in the red but don't let it go completely dead

Question: Ive been a bit busy and not fully up to speed. I'm running 4.6b right now, but it seems that 5.x is the preferred build. You can't just do a no-wipe update to go from 2.3.6 back to 2.3.5, can you? Also, I remember having issue earlier when going from 2.3.5 to 2.3.6 and trying to restore things like my call/MMS history and (if I remember correctly) some contact info/settings via Titanium backup. What would be the easiest way to revert to 2.3.5 to flash the 5.x version and also be able to restore all my apps/settings/info without running into conflicts with 2.3.6 vs 2.3.5 action?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Indian9990:
Well regardless you're going to have to wipe. You can always back up your apps with titanium back up..the settings I would say just do manually..I always just back up my app with data and that pretty much covers everything..if I try to restore system.properties I run into errors and fc...contacts can always be backed by google..you can also use an app to back up texts to gmail.that's the easiest way I think

I've been trying to keep up to speed with this ROM, but have been out of it for almost a month taking care of my Dad. (terminal disease)

Can someone please give me a short list of works/don't works either here or by PM? I just don't have time to read the entire thread again because I spend most of my time taking care of my parents right now. I do know that this ROM seems like it has the most to offer as far as functionality and usability (my opinion of course). Any info is greatly appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Indian9990:
First of all sorry to hear about your dad..hope everything is okay and hang in there man.

Well 5.31.is the latest version for the ROM..pretty much everything is working in ythis version. The GPS seemed to bbe having some issue but it seems to be working fine now. Camera app and everything else seems to be working fine for me. He is planning on releasing an update tonight I believe but more than likely it will be tomorrow..5.x has b far the best battery life out of all tthe different versions as well. Hope this helps :-)

ive been searching but i cant find the solution you speak of. im missing the mic icon as well. what did you do to fix it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Uncle Irish:
Thanks for the info. I'll prolly give the latest a go when it drops. I'll have my laptop tomorrow at the Dr office so I may as well give it a flash while I'm there. GPS is important so I'll nandroid before I go and see how it goes. Back on the Captivate and Infuse, it would take a couple locks to get it back under control, then it was fine. If I can make it 10 hours on a charge, I'm doing good. I beat my phone senseless and chew through a battery so 10 hrs is great.

Hanging in there is all I can do but but thanks for that. Its a rough road.
