[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jomeister15:
First things first, this is a work-in-progress guys. I know there are multiple things that need to be modified, improved, added, or fixed, and I'm hard at work trying to get to all of them.

Buoyancy is based off the latest UCLA3 update, which seems to be performing faster than the previous firmware in terms of both data and regular speed.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (It's in red because it's important) I'm assuming that your phone is rooted and you have a working version of CWM already on your phone. If you need help doing that, look here.

Download Either AT&T Version (For AT&T Phones) Or Roger's Version (For Roger's Phones)

Place the .zip file on your phone

Re-boot into recovery (Hold down Power-Button+Both Volume Buttons until the word samsung appears on your screen)

Navigate to install zip from sdcard, if it's not there try install zip from internal sdcard

Find and activate the Buoyancy.zip file

How The Release System Will Work

As of right now I've decided to go with the 3 digit release system. This is how it will work. The first digit of the release, e.g. the 1 in buoyancy 1.0.0, represents the overall version of Buoyancy. Any changes made to this will be very major. The second digit represents the stable build number of that version. Any changes made to this will be made carefully, but will probably not be earth-shattering. Finally, the third digit is for builds that may be unstable but have new features I may add to the next stable release. I'll try to update the third digit every 3-4 days. The other digits will be updated when I feel the stability of the rom has increased.

Theming

Want to theme Buoyancy? Go here to edit the ROM options to your liking. Remember, if you create a super-awesome theme, be sure to send it my way so I can post it and take all the cred-- I mean let the community use it.

Porting

The following is my current progress on porting the Buoyancy to this Potato. I'm expecting great success; I'm fairly certain Potatoes float.

Variants: Mashed, Sweet, Russet, Mr. Potato Head.

Radio: If you stick some antennas into it that might work.

Power Source: Self-Sustainable

Storage: 2 bits: One peel, one inside.

Multitouch: Two fingers needed for proper peeling.

Drivers: As far as I know, potatoes make terrible drivers. Mostly due to the lack of current arm/hand/finger hierarchy support.

GPU: General Potato Unit. Capable of recreating images of Jesus on the skin.

Some Comments/Disclaimers/FAQ's/Important Things (Please Read)

Personal Thoughts: This is only my second rom I've published (the first on the cappy), but I must say that I'm pretty happy with the way it's turning out.

AT&T vs. Rogers: For 1.1.0+ I have decided to merge the two builds into one. If anyone on Roger's experiences problems with the new builds, please let me know.

Bravia Engine: While I did include the Bravia Engine port into this mod, it's difficult to test whether or not it is actually there besides just subjective screen observation. However, you need to trust me on this, it does help with video playback and picture quality.

Extended Power Menu: Added.

Swype: Woot, woot, working Swype!.

SOD: Not an issue! Plus, OC has returned!

Throttling: If you do end up getting throttled, I have confirmed that this method does in fact work with both versions of Buoyancy.

GPS Fix: I Would include the GPS fix, but it always seems to tell me I'm in Nevada. This would be okay if I was a resident of the Silver State, but unfortunately I'm not.

Kernels: As of right now I feel that Faux's kernel provides a good balance of speed and stability, and I'll probably be sticking to it for builds in the near future. However, if Da_g does in fact come out with an update to fix the SOD, then I'll return back to his, simply because it is wicked-fast.

OMG VIRUS WHEN DOWNLOAD HAXXXXXXX: Not to worry, I'm not actually trying to give you a trojan, I promise. The same notification people have been having when they attempt to download Buoyancy has happened to a lot of friends of mine when they try to download rooty things like SuperOneClick or a ROM. My best guess is that it has to do with Superuser privileges+an overactive anti-virus system. If you want to read more, go here

Yahoo Finance Force Closings: If you perform the "fix permissions" option in cwm this issue should resolve.

BLN For MMS: Alright, alright, I know that BLN is not currently working with the stock MMS.apk right now, but the problem is, the MMS.apk that BLN does work for FC's upon entering its settings. So please be patient while I try to work out one of these kinks.

Announcements (Also In Red Because It's Important)

Currently testing PDroid.

May try the new ICS Camera.apk that's been floating around recently.

Still working on that BLN Text Messaging

Current ICS Launcher is a Lil' Glitchy. You have been warned.

Yes, I'm sorry, 1.3.1 is a full-wipe version. But I have my reasons. For one, this is going to be the last build of Buoyancy for a little while since I'm going to try and focus my attention on ICS. The other is that I kept getting bootloops with a non-wipe version, which angered me into submission.

Updating to UCLA base in 1.4.0.
