Hi everyone,

I was very active on this thread and then kinda feel of the grid for a while lol. I'm flashing the new update today..will report back. I didn't have any FC issues though on the previous version.

Thanks for putting the original kernel back in. I didn't like the OC very much. The original seemed to be more stable and faster for me. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Uncle Irish:
I just went to 3e/stock and reflashed the most recent versions and my build # is 6.5Z for some reason. Flashed 6.75 then the 6.9 update. Thats not normal, right?

edit

Reflashed the update and it took this time.

I'm convinced weird things happen with this version of CWM recovery
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] m4570d0n:
By "this version" of CWM Recovery, do you mean the new one (v5.0.2.7)?

Also, just to verify, is the 6.9 update currently posted in the OP the same as the 6.9 update thate was posted yesterday or the day before, before the Faux kernel was scrapped? the zip is the same size and briefly browsing the files in the zip, it looks the same to me. I ask because when I first downloaded 6.9, the file was named "SKYICECREAM-Rc6+ICS+6.9Z.zip" while the current 6.9 update in the OP is "SKYICECREAM-Rc6 ICS 6.9Z.zip". Didn't know if there might have been any slight differences in the 6.9 zip I had already that might potentially cause problems.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Indian9990:
Just flashed the 6.75z without kernel and also 6.9 update..went smooth no issues here :) If anyone needs help installing i'll be glad to help :)

One example is it doesn't like to deep sleep. My phone spent days at 384mhz. Then I switched to Da G's kernel and would deep sleep no problem

My phone went into deep sleep way more than the CPU was actually online.

Sounds like a bad flash to me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] y2whisper:
sometimes i wouldn't be able to get it to sleep as well with faux. seems to be working better now. ended up formatting my sd card and internal storage. clearing a lot of crap out as well.

I keep getting incompatibility errors with different apps/games in the market. I thought it was because the apps aren't adjusted to the newest Android but my brother's phone says it's on 2.3.6 like mine (he's on sprints gs2). Is there a fix or work around for this?

Losing 3g/4g data connection

I am having an issue were I go to use my phone and I lost connection to ATT. Some instances its just data and some it is everything. To resolve I have to reboot. I was wondering if this is caused by Juice Defender Ultimate?

FYI, I am running 6.75 with fauxs kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] guygreller:
that's what i got - i copied all my SD card to my computer (backup), format the SD card (internal) from my phone (setting>Storage), clear cache and Dalvik 3 times and run permissions.

after that i copied back only 4 folders DCIM, Download, Media talkback.

this really fixed my problem.

there is a post from Sean 4 days ago with these instructions.

---------- Post added at 03:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:09 PM ----------

i had same problem last night, clear cache and dalvik 3 times fixed it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] RipplingHurst:
I'm kind of confused on the ROM Files renames (?) if any.

I had my skyrocket on the SKYICECREAM+RC6.75STOCK-HXZ.zip. The I had applied the 6.8B_Z.zip update.

Now the HXZ disappeared, and we have the SKYICECREAM+RC6.75ZSTOCK.zip. Is that the same as the one above and so just the 6.9 update will do or I'd have to flash both?

Thanks!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] seanzscreams:
techinically there was an update to the op

which is why i changed the post title date

a few things

there really was no rom update

Fauxs kernel even setup was causing sooo much lag

and battery drain even scaled back was not good

let me put it this way, i went to sleep, and my phone with

rom racers kernel, the battery lost 6 percent, unplugged after 8 hours of sleep

I didnt include the ram hack into fauxs version

as im no longer supporting that version

its easy to just flash his kernel if you really really dislike the stockish

i included the ram into the only build there

no more confusing multiple builds

also the 6.9 update is exactly the same

again i only changed the OP

Removed not approved builds

added ram script to initial install

and added blue mms icon

but i started over last night bc i was on venom the past few days

so i did the method in the op

and this phone loves me for it :)

Please again dont report any force closes

unless youve done the reported and known fc fix

titanium is also a big threat

i only restored game data and no app data

just a recommendation..

delete and reback up all your titaniums backups every once and awhile

or atleast clean them out
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] number16:
thanks seanzscreams ...

Let me ask this - I flashed the faux kernel but am not 100% happy with it ... battery drain seems to be no better (worse in some cases) and though it was initially smooth and fast, I've got a few hiccups recently ... FCs, phone resetting itself etc ... which I never had with the stock kernel.

So my question is if I do not want to do a full wipe, can I just flash the stock kernel over?

Or do I have to wipe everything and re-install the ROM with the stock kernel?

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] seanzscreams:
well

i would try flashing the kernel

theres no reason it shouldnt work

but as far as fcs if they get real bad

try fixing permissions after installing the kernel

but

the only realy cure

is in the op

never seen one fc

and i do that method before every rom flash now

I'm running the Faux and no lag at all at 1.72 with tweaked SD settings via System Tuner
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jlmelancon:
I'm about to install this rom, but can relate with this issue and Juice Defender Ultimate. I had that installed on a different rom and the same thing would happen. I uninstalled Juice and didn't have the problem after that. If this happens again with this rom I'll let you know.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Dranakin:
Okay, so it sounds like we can just flash the stock kernel and then flash RC6.9 without wiping if we already have faux's overclocked kernel on 6.75Z? But if we want the ram hack for the stock kernel, we do have to start over? Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Cboss:
I also didn't have lag....but battery drain was to much not to notice compared to Stockish. All chips are not equal. Back to stockish kernel it's been most stable for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tek310:
I've had amazing battery life and no real lag problems unless I have just flashed a update without letting it cache 100%

No issues with sleep. Been on my phone with mild usage since 7:00am have 47% left
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dabuttrumpet:
not sure what to do.... I can send SMS fine, but when i try to send MMS (a Photo) i get error saying "server response error". I have done a complete reinstall going back to 3e recovery and everything.... Has been this way since the "time stamp" mms fix
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] number16:
Where can I find the stock kernel? (just the kernel, without the ROM)

Somehow I can't quite get this amazing battery life .... faux kernel or stock, or even with CM kernel on previous ROMs I average 5-10% draw per hour ... 5% with no usage whatsoever, 10% with regular usage.

My phone deep sleeps no problem, usually over 75% in DS.I do have 3 gmail accounts, 1 email account, whatsapp, fb accounts which all sync in the background.

I also heard Google location Service is a real battery drain ... I experienced that on my tablet so maybe I will disable that and see how it goes.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] madmike23:
So Ivona works with you? Are you on the latest rom? I'm able to install it, but it just doesn't talk. If I select Pico or Samsung, it'll talk fine, but when I select Ivona, it just doesn't spit out any sounds.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hcyplr29:
Not necessary. Actually they make it drain faster from my experience using them. I just use battery calibrate from the market, calibrate after flashing a different rom and thats it.

i ran a logcat and the two lines seem to repeat every few seconds

E/DataRouter( 191): DrReadUsbStatus returns false USB is offline

E/DataRouter( 191): DrReadUsbStatus returns false USB is offline

not sure if that's affecting anything, and im not sure how to fix it (when reverting to stockish kernel, i did a full wipe)

Whaaaat. 24% in 11 hours? That screen shots shows no Wifi when taken. How much of that 11 hours were you connected on Wifi? I got those kind of numbers on 6.5Z with Romracer's kernel but only if Wifi was connected. I'm using 6.9 with Faux kernel now and get around 3%/hour drain idle//wifi/minimal usage and 10% drain idle and no Wifi connection
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 08tundra:
i dont use wifi and i play alot of games on my phone as i get very bored at work lol, but before i was running faux and battery life was horrible so i tried the rom with the stock kernel and installed juice defender pro on aggressive setting, and i have been on the same charge for 23 hrs now with modaret use, when i installed the rom i factory/reset wiped 4 times along with cache.. and this was the result hope this helps u, and if u have any questions let me know ill try to help as best as i can...

Thank you very much for the most wonderful ROM and better yet, for the 3e ODIN instructions. I was getting constant FC on the camera and followed the 3e ODIN and now I am back to gold with 6.9.

Alright so for some weird reason MediaServer has been draining 10 - 12% since I updated. I've seen on other forums and posts that people say it's caused by a corrupted image or possibly MediaHub running.

I'm also getting 25% on Android System when I've hardly used my phone all day. First screen shot had amazing battery and second one is from today and it's not nearly as good.

I'm going to take the recommendation and remove all my images and put them back on so i can see what MediaServer is actually doing. I'm on stockish kernel and very surprised at some of the weirdness going on with this thing.

Fix permissions wipe cache x3 and dalvik x3 and reboot. All from rom manager. Sometimes android system goes wonky on custom roms. Its just something we have to deal with from time to time. Normally happens first day of a fresh flash then things settle down.

After spending yesterday and today on the current version, battery life is soooo much better than it was on the Faux kernel version. :)

Hey Sean, on the digital circle battery mod, I see now why the charging animation is still showing the incorrect animation. In the first version I had, in the framework-res.apk, the icons for stat_sys_battery_charge_anim0.png through stat_sys_battery_charge_anim26.png are correct but for 27 through 100, it's using a different icon theme (I belive its the Honeycomb circle battery mod). However, all the icons seem to be there. Would it not be possible to just copy 1-26 to replace the other charging animation icons? I could do that and recompile the framework-res.apk myself with ApkTool but I dont know enough about modding themes and apks to know if there's anything else I would have to do in order to not screw it up.

In the other version, stat_sys_battery_charge_anim[0-26].png are not there at all and it's just 27-100.

Also, when I tried to decompile the apk I got this error

Could not decode file, replacing by FALSE value: drawable-hdpi/stat_sys_battery_charge_animfull.png

One final item. I think these are two icons that may be missing (battery full and battery unknown).

I started over with a fresh 6.75 like it says to. With stock kernel. Then went in put in Gmail account and such. Then added in the 6.9 update cleared cache and fixed permissions like it says to do.

Then flashed in faux kernel BC that's the one I prefer.

No problems at all except RAM is still at 779

Did that and after an hour from the reboot MediaServer is now 13% from 10%. I'm going to install WatchDog Lite and see if I can find out which exact process it is. If all else fails I'm going to remove all my images from the sdcard do a full wipe again and then put it back on.

Also going to try reverting back to the old Gallery apk since this newly replaced one doesn't seem to make a difference at all.
