I've been debating on upgrading to the Skyrocket from my HTC Inspire. One of the things holding me back is this topic. I'm sure there are some great devs working on the Skyrocket, I just don't know any of them. Who are the two you all mentioned on the horizon?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jklitten:
I'm not sure who they're talking about, but I can say the stock ROM on this phone is pretty beautiful. I do prefer MIUI, but this is the best out-of-the-box experience I've seen besides the iPhone. I rooted and froze all the bloatware and it runs very well.

What I'm saying is that the lack of developer support so far isn't a huge problem for me. The stock ROM is good enough to tide me over until we build some momentum.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] the2rrell:
build momentum??

check the dev forum....its already going...lol

pretty strong at that

Most definitely it wont have that much support.. With data issues regarding throttling with LTE and lack of development, and little to no confirmation that it will receive ICS update, I personally am opt to sell this device and purchase a GSM Galaxy Nexus. Anyone have any opinions to this? NO BIAS remarks just cause im in a SR thread! Just keep it simple.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jedah:
I've read a couple sources that said the SR is already confirmed to get ICS. Samsung also had a recent press release stating the international version is getting it for sure (though who knows when the carriers will roll it out).

I can't really speak much for throttling and the like, since my data usage is exactly the same as when I had a non-LTE phone. But, so far, I haven't had any problems.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] the2rrell:
Why the F*$% does everyone keep saying that we dont have that much support......

We have great Devs, that can and will port anything to this phone.....and MORE on the way.

stop with the SCARE tatics its getting old. YES the Nexus WILL have ALOT more support. does that mean better NOOOOOOOOO just means more heads bumping and that will lead to good and bad things just like anywhere else.

i can say that here....ALL the DEVS help each other and only want to better the phone as a whole....WE HAVE A GREAT DEV COMMUNITY HERE AT THE MOMENT thanks.

back to the comment, its really on you bruh.....pick another phone or dont. in the end your the one carrying it around everyday, Right??

Hey guys. I'm not trying to be a downer, but what are your thoughts on this thread?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Fortune090:
While some points are true, a lot of the "issues" he posted about the development are false... We have a VAST growing dev community and are just emerging on getting CM7 and MIUI, like he said we didn't have. Yeah, they're still in development and not quite 100% yet, but development has to start SOMEWHERE. And when he states we didn't have any custom kernels, Da_G's already made a few, and we have 3 modems, and a few roms out. The phone JUST came out a little over a month ago, so what can we honestly expect? The OGS2 has been out for over twice that.

So just give it some time. ;) We're bound to get a boom in roms from seeing all the awesome devs that have moved to here. Da_G, XAviier G, k0nane, few from The Collective, Mortem Tuam for themes and such, just to name a few... We're headed in the right direction! :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] nuclearrage:
I am very glad I have this phone. CM7 or MIUI doesn't get me that excited RED SONYA is where it's at!!!!! Check out the thread it is going to be awesome. Also for me coming from the TMO Vibrant to the skyrocket I already have seen way more quality support than I ever expected.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] scoobysnacks:
Ogs2 owners tend to seem really cocky and arrogant about the phone...

I've read some stuff on here too like that.

They're like the iPhone users of Android
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] orlandoxpolice:
What do you expect. People support the device they own against others.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Dxtra:
The reason for that is they want to keep there community alive. Is super easy for the devs to port things over to the osgs2, this explain why the devs will argue that the skyrockets is crap. They don't want people hopping over!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lwfb:
Within my first month of ownership we've got a stable CM7 build, plus a handful of great stock based ROMs to choose from already.

All of you folks complaining about no development apparently don't understand what kind of work gets put into a custom ROM.

Our development community is pretty strong for a new device and I for one am grateful for what we've got.

MIUI is coming up soon, so is CM9 and TouchWiz with ICS.

Good things come to those that wait...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] GalaxySkyrocket500:
Cm7 is stable?:confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] the2rrell:
stable-ish maybe....i will give it that....lol

but not for a daily driver im my OP not yet anyway.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] s0cal:
The Samsung Galaxy SII Skyrocket is a great phone, but I'd pass on those roms that has been developed. I honestly dont like any of the themes developed so far. I mean, the battery percentage icon is retarded. If only someone could develop something more clean and simple looking, such as the Windows Phone 7 status bar, (NOT THE WHOLE UI) just the statusbar. There is an app that does that but when you open applications or notification bar, it changes back to the ugly android looking one. I cant wait for ICS on our phone but until then. Devs needs to step up in the development game. No offense just saying. Dont take it the wrong way.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Mortem Tuam:
Strange how most of the complaints of inadequate Dev support on the SkyRocket come from those, it would appear from post count and thanks, who don't actually offer too much back to the community.

I would have more respect if these complaints were coming from someone who was a daily contributor to the community. But even then, someone who is a contributor would probably contact a Dev and work with them to create what they would like to see rather than expect it to be slapped on their plates FREE for the taking.

just saying
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lwfb:
Sorry for the confusion haha, I meant that CM7 is stable enough to use, not a "stable" release.

Its not perfect, but...

Calls work, LTE works, Wi-Fi works, hotspot works, mms works.

No issues with force closes and a reasonable battery life.

With Da_G's latest CM7 kernel everything works great.

I've been using it for over 48 hours and its stable enough to be a daily driver in my opinion.

A week ago I couldn't say that, but now it seems like all the important kinks have been ironed out, at least on my device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Pirateghost:
the ones complaining are always the ones expecting us to know what they want to see in a rom. They refuse to understand that we can only do so much with what we are given. its not like we can churn out whatever they want regardless of feasibility, time, or other constraints. if they understood what it is we have to look at, decompile, comprehend, and edit, they might just shut their mouths, because while it looks like cake on the outside, isnt so easy on the inside....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
Mr mortem is absolutely correct. Xda is for people who want to make there devices better, and help other users with the knowledge they gain along the way. Dont complain people. Always try to help others if you can, and give back to the communiy. Also always remember to presd thanks. Make it a priority when someone trys to help you, or you use there work. Also donations are a good way to thank these folks for there hard work that is done for free, and shared with no expectations.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] the2rrell:
Feel that^^^^^^^^

If your not in a position to donate thats cool.....but people like to feel appreciated, so THANK them by hitting the thanks button. its a Visual way for a Dev/Themer/member to see that people notice there contributions.

and its easier to hit thanks than it is for someone to HELP you so if they take the time.....You can too.

i like this forum......:D

Another member was having the same problem in another thread. Below is my quoted advice:

Download this app (it's tiny) from the market. It works with your native browser by unlocking it's ability to download files of all types. Install it and open it. Arrow back out. Then open your browser and download your file like usual. You should be able to download any file of any type from now on. :-)

Hello everyone. Hope everyone is enjoying the pre holidays..

I have a question that I have searched.

I am running cm7 on my galaxy s2 and my Bluetooth wont enable or my nfc wont enable either. Before I installed I did do a full wipe and a factory's reset cleared chache and also flashed twice..

I click on Bluetooth and it lights for a second then turns off, the same for nfc.

I did do the trick where people are saying turn off wifi, power down then restart and to start Bluetooth before wifi and nothing..

2.6.35.7 gedb93beatinm@wolverine #1 is my kernel.

Anything else you guys/girls need let me know. Much thanks

[HTC Inspire 4G] andyx1985:
Hi all,

I have searched for an answer to this question for a couple days now and cannot seem to find an answer anywhere; at least one that relates to this device.

What I would like to know is if it is possible to resize the partitions on the my phone. I am looking to mod the size of the rom, cache, and data.

For instance I have cyanogenmod 7 installed (with latest tiamat kernel if that matters) and CM7 is only taking up about 152MB out of the system roms size of 575MB. I do not know how big my cache partition is but would be curios as to what tool could show me that too.

What i want to do then is shrink the amount of rom availible to CM7 to something closer to 170MB which would free up a fair amount of rom for cache and data.

Any ideas?

Thanks
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
You would have to make some major changes to the ROM and kernel. The easier way would be to get a large SD card and create SD ext partitions and use an apps2sd ROM. There is plenty of space though on our phones for apps and storage. The data partition is 1.1 GB and most roms will let you move apps to SD without extra partitions on card. Creating those partitions on SD will allow the phone to treat them like /data though.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
Using Titanium Backup, you could also convert some user apps to system apps. This would move them to the rom storage.

Throttled at 10gb with 9 days left in cycle!! So sad. I got the text yesterday for the warning, and got the text today that I am throttled.

Speedtest confirms it, I usually pull 2-3 mb/s, and now at 159kb/s.

Sucks!!!
[Atrix 4G General] geishroy:
you should watch it dude. they throttled me, got about 1megabyte a second where i live, down to about 15kilobytes. They allowed me to do this for 3 months before they finally forced me onto a different plan. I am in the process of fighting for the unlimited back though. just a fair warning though, cut that **** down.
[Atrix 4G General] s1mpd1ddy:
.. u got throttled 3 months in a row, and then they forced you onto a different plan ? are you ****ting me? holy crap.

this is such bull****.. they throttle you if you hit top 5% of users in your area... so eventually they force you to use much less data... then eventually everyone starts using less data, and then the 5% mark gets lower, so then your forced to use even LESSER data, and so on and so on. When is this going to stop? When everyone uses under 2GB?

i mean come on, seriously, WTF.
[Atrix 4G General] geishroy:
i mean it's a good measure to prevent people like you or me from using too much data. i mean, they don't expect you to use 10gbs on a mobile device. and I was pulling at least 30gbs monthly on a connection topping out at 1megabyte in my area (600-1000kilobytes per second usually). I don't blame them for throttling at all. I do blame them for thinking that I wasn't using all of that data on the mobile device. My data usage came pretty much from illegal piracy and random netflix and pandora sessions however they still believe it was from tethering so that's why i was knocked on that plan. It's hard to explain how all that data was being used w/o saying that I pirated a bunch of stuff during those months. so yeah, just be careful what you're doing with your phone, they will cut you off if you are consistently bad. If you can't take it, then switch networks to someone who offers inferior networks with unlimited data.
[Atrix 4G General] tangledskein:
On the other hand. I live in California east bay... Have used1.5 gigs. I have received a warning that I'm nearing5%.. So I feel scammed.
[Atrix 4G General] s1mpd1ddy:
Were you downloading movies on your phone? or streaming them from your PC? I use a ton of netflix and I have a few TV series that I stream from my PC.

My problem with being throttled is the way they are doing it.. the top 5% in your area will get throttled.

At first it may sound fair, heck, I live in MA where the top 5% puts me at 10 GB. but like i said.. once everyone starts bringing their data usage down, then the 5% cap is going to get smaller and smaller and smaller, then we'll have people getting throttled for using 1GB a month! You get what Im saying? It's BULL ****.

Eventually I will be switching carriers once the throttle point gets to about 5GB. Which.. given the way things are going, it would be about a year.

See, this is exactly what's wrong with this set-up. You're not even close to the standard 2gb and already getting warnings about throttling.
[Atrix 4G General] geishroy:
This was all on my phone. Mostly when I'm put and about I'll start a p2p on my phone and it's usually done by the time I get home. Then I do alot of surfing and video playing on my phone as well. But yeah I can see where they suspect its off a tether its just hard to explain to them its not.
[Atrix 4G General] s1mpd1ddy:
well damn dude, I was just streaming tons of video from my home media server. I abuse my FiOS connection must like my ATT connection.

I just got off the phone with ATT. Throttling will always be determined by top 5% of users in the country. There is no number that is available to tell us what the top 5% will be, so we're just gonna be at the mercy of what everyone is using.

The rep couldn't tell me if the 5% took account just unlimited users or Tiered data users as well. Either way --- if the top 5% is using only 1gb, we are S.O.L.

I refuse to pay $60 for 5gb of tiered data, highway robbery.

I will continue to stream music as much as I can in an effort to raise the 5% cap for other users. otherwise, we're gonna get throttled at 1.5gb.

I'm living in Korea right now.

SK telecom has already released their LTE snapdragon a couple of weeks ago.

I heard rumors that KT was to release their 3g model, but what I had found out is that it's the LTE snapdragon model with 3g enabled.

This is very disappointing news to me as I expected the exynos processor from KT.

Now a few questions:

1. I've heard that snapdragon vs exynos difference on paper looks massive, but user experience is about the same, is this true?

2. Where are the reputable sellers for gnote 3g model (I heard amazon and handtech)

3. For those users that bought it overseas.. how are you handling no warranty? Korea samsung provides great warranty (even if you break the phone on accident) they'll replace it for free. I'm very scared that one day the galaxy note 3g version might just die and i'll be out of luck.

Thanks for reading... so excited to pull the trigger..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SMARTPHONEPC:
1) According to Engadget it's true - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20440114&postcount=9

2) I'd probably get it from Amazon but if you're in Korea already you should have other options. Have you considered contacting Samsung in Korea?

3) Good question, if there is a presence in your country for the source you purchased it from, I've heard there should be coverage but I'd like to know for sure before ordering..

That link actually proves how unreliable the Snapdragon is...

The Snapdragon had Quadrant scores of anywhere from 2100-3300 which is EXTREMELY unstable...

My old S2 got consistant Quadrant scores of 3600-3700 on Stock

1) It's actually the opposite. On paper, the Snapdragon looks amazing with it's 1.5ghz clock speed compared to the Exynos 1.4ghz, but the Snapdragon is very unreliable.

Quadrant Score that vary within the thousands usually mean that occasional or frequent lag on the homescreen are visible. Thus was the case with the AT&T ****rocket (The LTE S2)

2) Handtec, Clove, Amazon are all good places

3) The OG Note works with HSPA+ and will most likely have more sales than the LT**** note. Just look at the int'l S2 and compare those forums to the Skyrocket forums. It's like 50 devs versus 2-5 devs in the ****rocket forums.

At the source link http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/11/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-skyrocket-review/ the chart is better formatted showing different devices (not instances) for Galaxy S II Skyrocket ; AT&T Galaxy S II ; T-Mobile Galaxy S II ; HTC Vivid Benchmarks

"Another wild card in the Skyrocket's performance is the 1.5GHz Qualcomm APQ8060 (Snapdragon S3) CPU and accompanying Adreno 220 GPU, the same SoC setup as we saw on T-Mo's flavor. How does it hold up against the almighty Exynos processor found in so many of the other members of the Galaxy S II family? Pretty well, actually. While we've had a strong admiration for the processing prowess of Samsung's homegrown silicon, the Skyrocket's chip isn't anywhere close to a slouch either. In fact, unless you're paying close attention, you probably won't even notice a difference at all. The Qualcomm-powered device handled itself well throughout our menial myriad of tasks and didn't skip a beat.

The Skyrocket booted up in 25 seconds and was incredibly responsive from that time forward. Not once did the phone crash during our graphics-intensive activities, nor did it hiccup at any point in our multitasking. Animations were smooth as butter, as was the touch responsiveness."

In Korea, cell phone plans get a discount depending on the plan. The higher then plan, the higher the discount.

So just guestimating, if I get one of the Korean LTE models, I will be able to save $200-$400 depending on the plan vs getting the 3g european model.

So it begs the options:

Pay $200-$400: exynos + awesome xda developer support, 3g unlimited

Save $200-$400: qualcom, small if not no dev support, 4g LTE capped

Depends on your budget & what you want to do with it now? There will likely be more dev support if AT&T announce their LTE version in a few weeks.
