Im aware tmo gs2 can run skyrockets roms, but can it run this one?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] stlcity:
Same here. Dont know what I did different, but it worked. :)

Stupid Q (sorry for sounding noobish): although this ROM is called ICS, its not 4.0 right? 2.3.5?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mimart7:
It's called Sky Ice Cream Sandwich, there isn't anything 4.0 based for this phone, yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] stlcity:
THanks. Just wanted to make sure. Thought as much since the OP said 2.3.5..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mostyle:
Patch for you all....

Here's my first contribution to this rom.

First:

The why

I am OCD as hell.. Can't change it.. So I do what I can to not be aggravated. LOL! That being said..

Second:

The what

The icons in the power menu.. They didn't match.. Bottom three were flying their own color scheme.. I preferred the grey/blue look of the top two but after a few hours of dabbling in Photoshop I realized that I wasn't going to master the art of anti-aliased edges to get the matching look of the first two and that would have made the problem much worse for me at least..

POSTER'S NOTE: If anyone would be willing to pass on a few pointers in how to create the proper anti-aliased or shadowed edges I'd gladly repaint the power menu icons to have the blue/grey scheme and repackage it.

Third:

The result

I decided to go with a slate grey that matches the menu scheming so my mind could rest easy... While I was in the smali for the framework I also removed that annoying power menu confirmation.. Who needs a confirmation when I had to interact twice with the device to even get where the prompt was popping up? So to surmise.. Uniformly grey icons in the power menu and the shutdown/power off confirmation has taken a coffee break..

I installed it on my device from the same zip I'm sharing so I can vouch that it works but as always standard disclaimers apply. Make backups or face your own peril.

The standard XDA legalese:

In no way or form is what I share here meant to steal the thunder from the OP. It's his work.. I just like to tweak my ride and figured I'd share the work.. It's what XDA is supposed to be about..

REQUIREMENTS:

You have to be running either one of the latest 2.3.5 variants to use this mod. Either the regular or the HX will work.. None of the others were tested.

So without further ado here you go. Enjoy!

Multi Upload link: HERE

Please share your feedback.. I do this because I was born to tinker.. I just my habit wasn't so expensive.. LOL!

HUGE FIND!!!!!!

I removed system tuner with the stockish kernel and i'm only using set CPU

I'm still at 98% unplugged almost two hours ago

I did calibrate but even last night I was draining so bad

So I froze system tuner in titanium...battery is 100 x better

Maybe it was just my backup data from titanium/system Tuner . But i'm willing to bet a few of you restore it like me

Love the rom. Just a couple problems I ran into. Market.Android.com couldn't see the device and Kies wasn't able to connect to it. Did a few cache wipes and fixed permission clicks finally cleared it up.

So the problem that I'm stuck on is camera issue. I have the 5.3hx installed, regular camera and CameraFX is working fine but when I use Retro camera or HDR+, the live view is all messed up. When I take a pic, the pic is fine, but the live view is not usable. Should I install the other file to clear this up? Thanks. I would've tried before posting this but unable to at the moment due to my location. Just wondering if anyone else has that same problem?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mimart7:
I'm not using Titanium, but battery life is so much better. Much more stable, too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] LinuxNewb:
Retro Camera/HDR+ live preview is a known issue :)

---------- Post added at 11:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:21 AM ----------

The SMS not supported on your device is an ICS 4.0 Launcher bug, not anything to do with this ROM. I forget who the Dev is for it but it isn't an issue with the ROM.

---------- Post added at 11:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:24 AM ----------

Bravia App? I'm not sure if 2.3.5 has the Bravia engine (Seanz??) but I can't find the app in the marketplace or AppBrain... SO maybe it's not supported?

Are you getting FC with SuperUser on any other app?

2.3.6 had serious battery drains :( Download the RC5_b FULL WIPE and download either the 1080p low sample or 720p high sample.

Make sure you've gone in CWM and formatted /system and done the data factory wipe multiple times. (3-4 times manually formatting) Install the first RC5_b and then let it boot up. Use ROM Manager to install the 2nd update and make sure you have Dalvik Cache cleared when you install it.

If you are having problems installing the 2nd update try the version I repacked. It's 720pHX with reverted camera buttons. For some reason this worked for me when nothing else did and it's helped a couple others.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] guygreller:
On version 4.6 i had issues with the battery loosing 4% per hour in deep sleep, with version 5.3 i am loosing 4-5% in 7 hours.

i like to charge my phone before i go to sleep and disconnect it for the night.

i tend to get 20-30 emails during that time (SYNC is on all the time) and i am using wireless network for my location.

For the first time since i got the phone i can say that the battery life is great.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] madmike23:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] aSquard:
I emailed the people for HDR Camera+ about the live preview issue. I wasn't sure if it the ROM causing the weirdness or not, haven't received a message back yet

seanzscreams - or anyone else for that matter - I would like to know if you all could point me in the correct direction: I would like to learn how to change the colours of the icons in Settings menu (no that grey is bad or anything) I miss the stock colours that were there before.

I also noticed the word 'brick' with RC5_b, I am hoping it is a joke!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] madmike23:
Its not an HDR+ problem. This and RetroCamera normally worked. I've used it on stock and many other roms, including the previous 4.x Sky ICS rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] breezeli:
Brick is a joke.

Try installing the camera package a few times. Took me 4 times to get it to go through. Also clear your cache multiple times.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Fortune090:
Hoping so... :D I've been watching battery use and it just baffles me why Android OS is using just a few % less than my Display and it only has 10m running time. :( My second battery should be here soon though, so this all may not be a big issue for me once I have one I can always swap out. :D

I have re-flashed full wipe, wiped Davlik and cache (6 times consecutively) and I tried to install 6 times after the total of 6 wipes but I still get:

E:Error in /emmc/download/skyicecreamSZ+RC5.31.zip

edit: your file did the same thing.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mostyle:
Another mod...

Here's another tweak!

On my old Euro GSII we had 'the 3am wake up call' AKA the battery full alert tone.

I modified the smali in SystemUI.apk so that when the battery reaches full charge there is no tone played and the screen isn't turned on either. Works out well if you keep the phone on a desk stand near you while sleeping.

Also included is a modified Settings.apk that has the 'Stay Awake' option added back into the development sub-menu. It can be toggled but please be aware that the setting is not remembered across reboots. If I manage to get this fixed I'll release another zip.

Credit to seanz for making a rom that I'd want to tinker with.

Now if I could just get the GPS working right.. I'm not in Nevada I SWEAR!

Try this. I read on another users advice that, any Rom at first flash is bad. You have to drain the battery till it turn off. Then delete the battery stat. Two cycle it will make it great.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] nextelbuddy:
just confused here.

saw the screen shots in the first post showing the ICS on screen buttons for home and back and also 4G LTE in the status bar.

i downloaded and installed RC5_b.zip and i my phone shows 3G but the status in settings shows LTE.

and i dont have the onscreen 3 buttons at the bottom like the screen shots show.

what did i do wrong?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Fortune090:
If you don't have LTE in your area, you won't get the LTE icon. And the onscreen buttons are part of the ICS launcher included in RC5.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] nextelbuddy:
i do have LTE in my area. my phone showed LTE on the stock system right before i flashed this RC5

i jst ODIN back to Stock 2.3.5 and it shows LTE back on my phone again.

and i flashed RC5 before and i did NOT have those 3 buttons but everything else looked liked ICS.

weird.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] aSquard:

German I dunno

Ill look at the duplicate build prop thanks

I can't seem to get vibrate to work on notifications. I searched and found a couple of different possible solutions but none of them have worked for me so far.

I have:

Wiped everything and installed the ROM the first time (5 and 5.31)

Restored with TiBu

Found the bug:

Uninstalled and reinstalled go sms pro

wiped cache and dalvik cache and reinstalled 5.31

Ran fix permissions from ROM manager

Still no joy!
