I've read back the pages until the 5.5 update was released and only you and 2-3 other people seem to have complained about BT issues. I also noticed you were having some battery issue with charging and various other problems... Have you considered it could be a bad download / wipe / flash or any combo of those?

Also yes I usually reboot my device once every day or 2 out of habit from some of my older phones.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] gomo187:
That is the basic procedure to flashing any custom ROM. I think racer is assuming if you've made it this far you know the process.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
Cool just making sure nothing fancy is needed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] yossiw:
If you will read other threads (q&a) you will found more people that complain about that and the battery issue (and i don't have any other issues).

I'm using the same 2 bt devices in my s2 with no problem at all, i know more people with sr that have the same problem but they don't use BT like me everyday.

I'm still thinking its device related and not bad flash or something like that (that i tried to do).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] gomo187:
Any chance of you posting alien 6 for those of us that don't mind having to wipe?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] romracer:
Alien 6 is up. No wipe option available for those on Alien 5.5 only. All others should perform the full install. See post #3 for changes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tacotino:
Hey great job romracer!!! I'm glad to be back on alien!!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] nthknd:
Great rom so damn smooth.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] nthknd:
Amazing, 7 ours of sleep and virtually no battery loss. Gotta love this rom. I know its not overclocked but it still run super smoth and responsive. Plus great battery life. I'm all about being an alien.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] scott14719:
I flashed this last night. Damn it is nice! ANd finally.....NFC! I've got everything set the way I want and I'm going out later so I can put it through it paces in an LTE area. If all goes well I will be buying you a couple of 6-packs very soon for your hard work.

One question...(there is always one question (LOL))...I have an AT&T visual voice mail icon that looks like it is stuck between my home screen (screen 4) and screen 3? I can't do anything with it because it acts like it is part of the background? I've even changed wallpaper but it is still there. Can't move it, delete it, change it, nothing. It's more of an annoyance than anything (no big deal) but does anyone else see it or is there a simple way to remove it? Even long-touching on the homescreen I can't do anything with it (just see it). But again, thanks for a great ROM.

***Edit*** Ifixed the visual voicemail thing.

If you install AT&T visual voicemail it will ask you if you want to add an icon to your homepage. When I did this, it put it between home pages? Very strange but deleting visual voice mail cleared it up. I am going to re-install it but manually put the icon on my homepage.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sulpher:
Can also go to apps and clear data under twlauncher and that will fix the icons between pages.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] urwifeismyslave:
can you update the picture of the rom i wanna see what it looks like. or do u have a video uploaded with the update rom
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] scott14719:
OK, donated for your awesome ROM...have a couple on me. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] urwifeismyslave:
hey for the next update can u remove more bloat ware apps like city id
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NIKEstickER:
went back a couple pages and couldnt see anything regarding the alien 5 battery that has the percent on it, because it wont work for me. can i fix this or will i have to make a brand new one?

regards
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] BigWopHH:
Build 6 is still based on the previous stock-ROM, correct? I assume we'll have to wait to 6.5 for a fully updated stock rom with all of your tweak, RomRacer? If yes, do you have an ETA? (Don't mean to be push--just want to see if I should play with build 6, or just wait for 6.5).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] romracer:
I've seen this before with another icon, or maybe it was AT&T VVM. Its annoying but I'm not sure if its a bug with the launcher or that app or both.

Yes, its on my todo list.

Yes, its still based on UCKK1. I plan to update to UCLA3 soon, but likely not until later this week or weekend.

Not sure what you mean. There is a link to a battery mod I use on Alien 6 in the FAQ section. It flashes fine. You might go to "mounts and storage" in CWM and unmount system if its still mounted after installing the battery mod and before rebooting.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] romracer:
Not sure if I mentioned it in this thread, but I use my stock-ish 0.3 UCLA3-based kernel and modem with Alien 6 fine. I didn't include it by default since I wasn't sure if there is some strange bug out there I just haven't encountered. Just flash my kernel zip over top of the ROM if you want to install it.

Edit: if you want to go back to the kernel included with the ROM, just flash stock-ish 0.2 also linked in my kernel thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] urwifeismyslave:
took my phone to work tested out the rom. i was having problems with the lte getting signal. is there anyone else having problems with that
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Altarocks:
Working fine for me. 10 Mbs +
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NIKEstickER:
my bad i was trying to use the alien-5 battery because i didnt know there were any changes that would cause it not to work... ill just download that one if its the same ;) thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] scott14719:
Speed wise I have not tested it yet, but as far as getting a signal (including LTE), I am getting a better signal with this ROM (at least so far) than I did on stock. I am in the Atlanta area.

---------- Post added at 06:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:51 AM ----------

The OTA Kernel update and just about every other version of it that I have seen (havn't tried your 0.3 version yet) has a couple of unfixed bugs. No more scrolling wallpaper (I don't care about that one) and a problem with the touch lights (bottom 4) working when it is set to "always on". That is the one that annoys me. Sometimes they work when the phone is woke up by the power button, sometimes they don't. I'm not sure if its the same way with your Kernel or not. Maybe set your touch key lights to "always on" for a while and see if they work everytime after you hit the power button and wake it up. You'll have to try it several times to see if the problem persists or not. It would be really nice if someone could find a way to fix that bug.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Silverexp:
It's the new UCLA radio causing the touch light problem. Took me awhile to figure that out. I switch to the KK1 radio and the touch lights are working fine, plus BLN too. Oh, I flashed back to kernel B2, since I switch radio.

By the way, great rom....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] scott14719:
That's strange, because I have the UCLA3 radio with this ROM (0.2 Kernel) and so far, the lights are working fine. And I had the UCLA3 radio with the 2.3.6 Stock kernel (before this latest update) and the lights worked fine also. The lights didn't have a problem until I flashed the Updated Kernel (Silver's at the time). I nandroided back to the original kernel (but still had the UCLA3 radio) and they worked fine again. I then flashed this ROM (still using the UCLA3 radio) and the lights still seem to work fine. So, for me, the problem presents itself with the updated kernel itself and not the radio by itself.

The radio lives on a different partition than the kernel and ROM and doesn't have any kind of files that should interfere with the lights. The kernel is generally where the drivers are found and it is the Kernel that must be modified for BLN to work. Are you positive it was the radio and not the Kernel? Maybe it is somehow a combination of the UCLA3 radio and the updated Kernel and not one or the other by itself?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Silverexp:
With the ucla_fix radio & romracer B3 kernel, if you set the touch lights to Always On, does it stick all day after waking the phone back up or plugging it to power? That combination would never stick for me. Plus, I tried faux123 new beta kernel too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] nthknd:
Using faux new kernel with alien perfect combo.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sublim3_Tilt:
Pretty sure I went through the majority of these posts and didnt notice any posts on the attachment in the 1st post about the googlewalletfix_1.1R38v5_ginger_final.zip. Since there is no SecureElement to use Google Wallet, is it needed for anything else like using the NFC?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rymenigmatic:
How bout I flashed the fixed UCLA3 modem and it works flawlessly ..

View attachment 937012
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] romracer:
Umm, I should delete it. It was a Google Wallet that worked assuming you have a SIM card with an SE in it. It doesn't even work now because the signing on Nfc.apk has changed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] romracer:
First post on the last page ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rymenigmatic:
D'oh!!!LOL :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] scott14719:
Ok, so I finally had a little time to do some testing.

As I previously stated, the UCLA3 Kernel(s) seem to have an issue with the touch lights not always working (coming on) when they are set to "always on" and the phone comes out of sleep. Several people have had this issue from the time that AT&T did the UCLA3 OTA update. A couple of people have stated that they think it might be the Modem (UCLA3) instead of the Kernel so I tried a couple of things.

First, I am obviously running Alien 6 ROM (with no known issues). As stated by RomRacer, it has the the 0.2 (non-updated) kernel. I also have the UCLA3 modem (originally, the unfixed version from Silver). Before flashing Alien 6, I was on the stock 2.3.6 ROM. I flashed the UCLA3 radio while on stock and did not have the touchlight issue (everything worked). I then flashed Silver's updated UCLA3 Kernel and the touchlight issue began. I nandroided back to the original 2.3.6 kernel (still with the UCLA3 modem / radio) and the touchlights worked fine again.

I then flashed Alien 6 (retaining the original UCLA3 modem) and again had no issues with the touchlights.

Today, I flashed Silver's new RexModemUCLA3 (fixed fixed modem?) and the touchlights still worked fine. I then flashed RomRacers 0.3 updated Kernel and the touchlight issue started again immediately. I flashed back to RomRacers 0.2 Kernel and the lights work fine again.

Things I have not tried:

Silver has updated his UCLA3 kernel but because some are reporting issues with extreme battery drain, I have not tried it to see if the touchlight issue still exists with it.

I have not tried Faux's Kernel(s) to see if the touch light issue persists.

I have not reverted back to the older modem /radio (UCKK1?) and tried it with the updated kernels.

My conclusion is that there is, in fact, an issue with the new UCLA3 kernels and the "always on" setting with the touch lights on the skyrocket. I am still not 100% sure about this because of the above mentioned things I have not yet tried. I also do not know why some people seem to have this issue while others do not. I am fairly certain that it is not an issue with residual data remaining between flashes because of the different approaches I have taken with the testing.

So if anyone else can add to these finding or if a fix can finally be found it would be great.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] remf4i:
Any updates coming soon?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] p0k3sm0t:
I've been using UCLA3 kernel for awhile every thing has worked fine. Battery life sucks. Other then that no problems.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] remf4i:
Any ics themes for this rom?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] elementur:
This ROM looks so nice and simple. I was looking for something that didn't have all those ugly modifications/themes done to it. I think I'm going to give this a go. Thanks for the hard work, dev! :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] scott14719:
That's one of the things a like about it. It's still similar to stock ROM, but different enough to add alot of functionality that the stock ROMS doesn't have. And stable. And NFC. And...

:)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 2girls1cup:
edit: nevermind since ics leaked out...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] boostmx:
Since I just threw on the ICS leak and decided to go back, I took this chance to try one of the roms. All I can say is WOW!!! I should have installed this Alien ROM sooner!! Thanks romracer! Been using Alien ROM since the Atrix. This thing is BLAZING!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] scott14719:
This ROM brought me back from ICS. Maybe in the near future when ICS gets some updates I will give it another try, but until then this ROM has ICS beat in many ways (IMO). Maybe romracer will make an Alien ICS ROM with all the goodness of Alien baked into an improved ICS shell (Hint...Hint ;) ).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] romracer:
Already working on it ;) Just got the 14 toggle quickpanel going. I think that's likely to be the toughest one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] boostmx:
Yea the minute your ICS version comes out, I'll be on it. Thanks for all the work!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sublim3_Tilt:
What are the chances of the ICS version being a bit more vanilla? I love this rom but was dissapointed that it had all this bloatware I can't remove.

Sent from my SubLim3 SkyRocket!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] romracer:
I think ICS has less bloat in general. But I do plan to strip it out a bit more. And make the bloatware.zip flashable for those that want to put it back on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sublim3_Tilt:
Much Appreciated, donations on the way!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] remf4i:
Trying to work on something myself ,how are you making your zip ? when I flash mine to test it is really laggy and no service ,any help on that ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] p0k3sm0t:
I'll be a, tester if you need one. For the ICS ROM :-)

Also i've been using your ROM every since I got my phone. Thanks great job.

a don't know if you tried but i'm using the leaked BB UCLAC4. Its working great.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 11earl:
Installed this yesterday, as ICS doesn't seem quite ready, yet... super ROM so far. Thank you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] boostmx:
Agreed. Tried ICS roms for a week, although all very well done roms, the leak just wasn't quite ready, so went back to this ROM. This one is simply the best! :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rojov123:
Just 2 issues.

There is no delivery notification option for sms messages. Where did that option go?

The Messages window is completely plain.. No themes.. :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 903tex:
Everything works just fine. First rom I installed for skyrocket! Enjoyed your work with the atrix as well!

But one annoying thing my market has not updated any way to fix that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] romracer:
You can Google around on how to do it manually. Usually if you launch Market once, wait a few minutes and then exit, it will start the update. Wait a few more minutes and the icon on the home screen should change to the play store. Re-launch, accept the agreement and done.

But its dependent on Google. Sometimes they do not push immediately.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] romracer:
This is not a themed ROM. I don't know what delivery notification option you are referring to. You're a Rogers user, so that may be something present in Rogers stock ROM but not AT&T.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 903tex:
Figured it out! All you have to do is clear data and cache and open market and it should update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rojov123:
The rom works perfectly on my phone.. No FCs or errors or anything..

The delivery notification is not a Rogers thing. It is the same for all carriers around the world. At&T, Rogers, Verizon, Vodaphone.. etc..

It notifies you when your sms messages are delivered to the recipients phone..

Some people call it "Delivery Report".

It is an option available on all cellphones. All other custom/stock/debloated roms that I have tried have this option.

Can any AT&T user check if they have this option on their phone? If you dont, then please add it..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] romracer:
Sorry, I meant maybe Rogers exposes the option to its customers - not that it was a "Rogers-only" thing. I know that delivery reports exist for SMS as a general concept. But AT&T and other American carriers like to restrict what we can do (RAT locking modems for example) so I would not be surprised if the option is simply not exposed to us.

If I get time, I'll look into what it might take to make it available. Some options are simple "removePreference" within the code; others complete code blocks have been removed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] romracer:
See this thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] scott14719:
Installed and running smooth! :D

I flashed the UCLD2 modem before the ROM. Everything seems to be working great so far. I'll test it out more at work tomorrow to see how the connectivity of the modem is and the overall battery life. If the modem doesn't seem to connect good I'll just flash LeeC's UCLA3 modem again. I have "Call Recorder", "Facebook", "Netflix", "Hulu+"(I use the modded APK)", and a bunch of other apps installed and I haven't had any problems yet. I'll be able to test it better over the next few days to a week but I'm sure you have already tested it pretty good. I'll post if anything odd happens. Sending a donation your way...

**Edit 1**

I think this is a Google / ICS issue and not so much an Alien isue, but I'll post it here anyway.

I cannot get the mobile browser to "remember" my settings (ie. automatically sign in, safe search options, etc...). I realize this has to be some sort of a "cookie" issue. I made sure all of the settings in the browser were set correctly. I made sure all of the setting (via the settings button) were all set correctly. And I made sure all of the "security" settings (from the phone) were set correctly. I cleared all of the caches and "unchecked" / "rechecked" all of the correct selections in settings along with several reboots along the way and the damn thing still doesn't want to keep my settings. It will "update" the location, but will not automatically sign me in or remember my preferences (yes, I have "automatically sign me in" checked). I had the same problem on the Alien stock ROM, but some how, it just started working correctly on that ROM? Like I said, I'm pretty sure its just a Google / ICS problem and not a problem specific to Alien 7 ICS but if anyone can chime in with some ideas (that haven't already been mentioned) it would be great. TIA.

Great Rom !
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unibombz:
You are liking this ROM over the latest build? I am curious if it supports a kernel that uses BLN, and if so what one. Alien and Embryo ROMs both look nice, just trying to figure out what to try next when i get off CM9

Thanks :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Dinman:
Yes ,the kernel included supports bln.

I've tried numerous different roms (including Alien 8).

But this is my favorite !

5 star rom for sure.

One note tho ...BLN is known to consume alot of battery. So don't over-expect .
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jembot:
Does this ROM work with MHL adapter? Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] offwiththeface:
Please please bring this out for Rogers users as well
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] romracer:
Yea for people coming from Alien #3, then the FC bombardment may still be possible. Wiping data through stock recovery (not the Privacy option in Settings) should fix it. You shouldn't have it happen again after that with Alien #4.

I was able to reproduce the FC issue with Alien #3 but after following the above steps and rebooting probably 50 times during the last week I've been testing Alien #4, it has not reappeared.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sam MF Jackson:
Loving the new boot screen. One question though. Is the 5 dock feature something we need to do in the settings, because mine is still the same 4.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] romracer:
Go to the App Drawer, hit menu, Edit. It'll tell you it needs to be in customizable grid mode and ask to change it, let it. Drag an icon down to the dock area. You can set the grid back to alphabetical or whatever you prefer after you're done.

Its the same for all Touchwiz devices. Just this mod will let you have a 4th icon (plus the app drawer).

You can replace the boot animation by overwriting bootanimation.zip in /system/media. Google for directions; its the same process on our phones. You can also remove /system/media/bootanimation.zip (with no replacement) and see this neat stock logo that's the word "android" with a shimmer effect.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sam MF Jackson:
Done and done. Thanks a lot! Definitely might want to change the boot animation at one point. For now though I'll stick with this. Looks really cool.
