[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] gordes:
Hi... my first post here, but have been following this forum for a while and have found it to be extremely informative. I finally need some help with a couple of questions I cannot find answers to.

I have an AT&T Skyrocket that I have unlocked via cellunlocker. To my surprise, I've encountered the RAT restriction which has been discussed all over this very forum.

I have two "pay as you go" world roaming sim cards that I've used without any problems for years with a very lame unlocked Blackberry. These sim cards seem to automatically select the correct service provider to work with the negotiated rates/plans that are incorporated into the sim plans I purchased.

I leave from California to europe in a few days and was hoping to take the unlocked skyrocket and roaming sim cards with me. With this RAT restriction, I'm not sure what will happen when I arrive in europe and start the phone up.

My questions are these...

Does the sim card select the provider automatically, or is the at&t rom/radio pre-programmed to only select the at&t contracted providers, even though the phone is "unlocked"?

If I flash the Rogers radio to the phone, will I have to manually select the provider in each country (for instance, in the UK I know it should be on O2), or will the sim tell the phone which to select?

Worst case scenario, I take the old blackberry with me instead... but was hoping to try the skyrocket out overseas.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Gordes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] appdroid:
Well if your sim is for international use than it will select the carrier for you if not change apn and that will most likely resolve ur problem. Might help after flashing different modems/radios.

Has anyone seen anything that might fit? I'm looking for one with belt loops, not just a clip on.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Did you check the accessories forum?
[HTC Rezound] DIncLover:
Yes, didn't see anything fitting the bill there.... I assume since this is a question, this is the correct forum to post in?
[HTC Rezound] Toaplan:
You assumed incorrectly.
[HTC Rezound] mchlwvr614:
I have done a lot of searching for a leather belt holster that will fit the extended battery and have not found anything. There is nothing obvious or advertised anyways. Was going to see if anyone sells them by dimensions.

I have checked the accessories forum too and do not want Verizons case with clip for the extended battery. Just a leather belt holster.

Going back to standard battery for now.

[HTC Desire S] baji240588:
Guys as the subject, which rom do you waiting for ics (cm9, miui4,sense, virtuous) and tell us why?

Sorry for my bad English
[HTC Desire S] evilrussian800:
I'm waiting sense Rom because the sense Rom is more comfortable for using
[HTC Desire S] rasher67:
One that works :-)
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
i'm waiting for both CM9, and new Sense 4.0 with ICS :)

I'll probably be using Lowveld's Endymion when it comes out :)
[HTC Desire S] goatimus:
What ever one has working camera but miui 4 would be my choice of flavour
[HTC Desire S] gefilus:
Cm9 looks and feels to good. Now using daily a cm 9 Alfa, works perfect, only camera don't work
[HTC Desire S] chubby65:
Cm9 for me I've had their roms on all my android phones but also the virtuous rom feels quite good
[HTC Desire S] baji240588:
thank's for ur respons guys :)

firstly i love the cm9 :D

although the release still alpha, but its more smooth then other rom in development thread << its my opinion :)

cause i've flash my Desire S with cm9, virtuous team, miui4 port by proxuser and in superkid's thread hehehe

sorry for my bad english,
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Personally I'm waiting for MIUI...I've stayed alot with Galnet MIUI and loved it. Now I have installed Virtuous beta (7) that's by far the speediest and lag free among the other ICS betas (at least for me). I've tried CM9 and I love the work CM is doing (had been using only CM ROMs till I got MIUI) but it has some issues for me: cannot download from market (just tried it few minutes ago) and the CM "control center" is missing...so the thing that was clearly make CM to stand out among others is unfortunately missing for now (I mean the multitude of tweaking possibilities)

Later edit: As i compared only current version of existing ICS ROMS, not thinking about future (as the question in this thread suggests). So in case every ROM will have a final version with everything included I'll have a very hard time to choose between MIUI and CM9...I'll test both and probably I'll stick with the one that has best performance and has the greatest tweaking capabilities.

All that said, I don't have enough words (and mouse clicks) to thank to every developer that contributed to have ICS on our phones. After trying ICS, going back to Gingerbread will never happen even with a non working camera. For those rare moments when I need a camera, I have a backup of both Endy 3.3 and Galnet MIUI ROMs that restores in 2 minutes...then, as soon as possible I switch back to ICS
[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
CM9 because of the features it has which I have become very used to.
[HTC Desire S] amonrei:
Totally waiting for MIUI 4. proxuser is already is porting it but most things still doesn't work. :p
[HTC Desire S] milkboy112358:
Can't decide yet =) CM9 might be the first preference, but absolutely gonna try some others also. Just because CM has been great, it does not mean that no other ROMs are worth trying.
[HTC Desire S] baji240588:
So exited..

About the cm setting as nexx explanation in his thread, its still develop by cm team and not yet finished so he won't include in alpha.

CMIIW

Sorry for my bad english
[HTC Desire S] mister.tutu:
+1 for MIUI 4 ^^
[HTC Desire S] Makerhack:
Currently using Virtous Beta 7 and it's amazing, just waiting for camera to work :)
[HTC Desire S] AquaSheep:
Virtuous Quattro. The developers of that rom always do a great job on their roms. I've used Virtuous Unity a couple months ago and it was one of the best roms and probably still is.
[HTC Desire S] Yobby:
At the moment, Virtuous Quarto is running marvelously as my daily driver. And because of the fast updates, I don't have time to test the rest. But coming from both Virtuous Unity and CM7, I'll make sure to test CM9 as well, and maybe even MIUI.
[HTC Desire S] baji240588:
Sorry guys maybe it's OOT, cause I can't post or reply in development thread

I confirm about cm9 alpha, icon HSDPA not show

But if I check in phone info I use HSDPA carrier.

Thanks 4 ur attention.

Sorry for my bad english
[HTC Desire S] MS.:
ICS seems to be a little slower then GB, so ICS+Sense should feel really slugish.

MIUI - :D

Virtous Quattro - feels nice even now and has some nifty options, so i'll try it again once it's done.

CM9 - most likely it will be the one. I'm with CyanogenMod since very early CM6 builds and always happy. A lot of devs working on it, daily (nightly :) ) updates, lots of options, great performance and stability.
[HTC Desire S] mongox7:
I like Sense so if possible, i would prefer ics + sense 4.
[HTC Desire S] aedin:
I use VirtuosQuattro beta9 and its really great ROM
[HTC Desire S] nodeffect:
Hope all comes out in stable condition :)..

Sense, ASOP, MIUI, CM9....
[HTC Desire S] Wody05:
I'll take MIUI :P
[HTC Desire S] outsidetown:
This new camera fix is really making me try all the ICS ROMs out!

Just flashed the Virtuous Quattro RC1 and I think it's definitely going to be my ROM of choice, the support is fantastic and it's super smooth!
[HTC Desire S] :
I've been using Cyanogenmod since my HTC Magic. The new CM9 is amazing and I won't switch.
[HTC Desire S] ArcadiumNL:
At this moment i'm using Virtuos Quatro Beta 9, for the sole reason that there is the most development going on with this rom. And since there isn't much differences between CM9 and Virtuos at this moment that's the rom i'm going for.

Although, I am interested how thing will develop for example a month from now. Devs are learning more and more about ICS and thing get better by the day! And maybe the differences between the ROM will increase.

But at this moment I'm verry happy with VQ B9 :)
[HTC Desire S] tookeuss:
I'm waiting for a fully stable Virtous quattro, and I'd like to test CM9 stable once released, because I never tested CM7 before, as I am very new on flashing roms
[HTC Desire S] mikeyd85:
I'm currently loving Virtuous Quattro beta 9. Love it. Will probably skip rc1, will wait until camera is nicely sorted, GPS fix implemented and the new egl drivers that proxuser mentioned in the cm9 thread are included. I say this as I'm currently very happy with beta 9.
[HTC Desire S] amzlondon:
Miui
[HTC Desire S] batmobile_bang:
I'm currently using Virtuous Quattro RC1 and i'm generally happy about it. Once you use ICS there is no going back to GB. Since switching between ROMs and customization following the same is a tedious job I'm thinking whether I should switch to CM9 now and stay there? any opinions on the same?

I came from Reaper v1.3 so I'm more comfortable with CM ROMs
[HTC Desire S] JustPauL:
i'm waiting for cm9 too, cause it's have good battery life.
[HTC Desire S] kylon:
I m waiting for a virtuous sense based rom

I like the sense
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
That's probably because ICS hasn't been fully optimized for our devices yet ;)

Devs are working to have a fully working build, then after that, I think they will tweak it as good as GB for performance :D

[HTC Desire S] Zokormazo:
CM9, for all its tweaks :D
[HTC Desire S] Jiia:
I've tested the latest Quattro and MIUI ICS builds but they are so slow I can't really use them without getting frustrated. Especially the transition animations and launcher are pain to watch.

Will we need to wait for HTC to release their ICS source before we can have a fast ICS build?
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
I think you have a problem on your device or the way you've setup the ROMs. Latest Quattro (RC2) is running great and no lag at all. Dunno what you're doing, maybe you can tell some operations to perform on the device to see if it is like this. For me it's running like GB, didn't noticed any difference in terms of speed or usability
[HTC Desire S] Jiia:
That's interesting. It feels like there's no GPU acceleration at all in the launcher on my device. I've tried unchecking the "force GPU rendering" button to see if it slows down but it works the same way.

I always do a full wipe, flash the ROM and then flash the kernel in fastboot because I'm S-ON.

It seems to take about 2-3 seconds to open the phone app in the ICS rom and only like half a second on GB.

THE ICS's ROMS.

Or just Cm9 and Miui will be fine ! :D
[HTC Desire S] ondrograf:
I'm waiting for MIUI, because that ROM is simply the fastest ROM in the universe
[HTC Desire S] thedieselspaceship:
I'm waiting and tesing CM9, because it's really clean and fast. Cyanogenmod has very huge community...
[HTC Desire S] m4jy3u1n:
sense 4.0 with ics
[HTC Desire S] lukrop:
MIUI. As soon as its as smooth as the GB version i'll permanently switch over. I really got used to MIUI. I do like stock ICS, though
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
What kernel? For none of the beta ICS ROMs I know, there's not need, nor recommended to flash another kernel. You should use the kernel included with the ROM. You shouldn't even flash a kernel from another ICS ROM like flashing CM9 kernel on Virtuous ROM cause they're not compatible. If you have problems with the ROM, this could be very well the reason.

[Acer Iconia A500] fermunky:
So, I am ready to flash something other than the stock ROMs, or at least the purely rooted stock ROMs. I want to try out NunHugger's Epiphany ROM, which looks nice. When I wipe, will it leave the /sdcard folder alone? I just want to make sure I wont lose some of my books and game saves and such.

Edit: I just realized how dumb a question this must actually be, as I am pretty sure /sdcard is left alone, considering the ROM being flashed is also stored there (/sdcard/download). But I'd still like confirmation to be clear. I promise I am not as stupid as this post is.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Your External SD card is not effected.

Generally, you internal memory is referred to as SD card. Your removable SD is referred to as External SD.

The OS, has it's own space, so if you do the usual wipes, even Mounts and Storage format, your things will still be there. (unless you toggle to format entire internal memory)

Generally, the stuff you download and goes to SD, is still there after you flash. 9 times out of 10.

I have flashed over 150 times, and still I have things that I downloaded.
[Acer Iconia A500] fermunky:
Ah yes, I didn't specify, going under the assumption everyone knows the difference of ext_sdcard and sdcard. I was referring to the internal sdcard. But thanks for the confirmation.
[Acer Iconia A500] hardslog:
Yea I was scared when I flashed my first ROM. I ran 2 backups of everything and then realized that everything on the /sdcard partition was still there. I would still back that stuff up just in case :p
[Acer Iconia A500] starkiller86:
I'm sure the application data gets cleared when your doing the necessary wipes and formats prior to flashing. So there go your game saves and such. Happens to me when I flash a new roms. I just do backups with Titanium and restore them, no biggie. Just make sure you backup before you flash.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pewipo123:
my queston is... is there a way to.uninstall themes or mods like pulldowns and specific app themes without 100% reinstalling the ROm? like if i install a ics theme without having to reinstall my rom?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sean is here.:
that depends on what ROM you're referring to. MIUI...yes, definitely. Others...depends.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tkemack:
I have had no problem with anything EL13 and up by using the modified wipe (no data loss) then re flash the ROM. Pretty simple process to me. Reboot into recovery - run modified wipe - flash rom. Done. Modified wipe zip can be found in many places I'm sure, but I know it's under the blazer rom thread

Hello all,

To begin here are the current specs of my At&t Samsung Galaxy S2:

Model Number: SAMSUNG-SGH-I777

Android Version: 2.3.6 (yes, i have done OTA update from 2.3.4)

Baseband Version: I777UCKK6

Kernel version: 2.6.35.7

Build number: GINGERBREAD.UCKK6

So now onto the reason for this post, I have spent several hours...several months uptil now trying to fully understand the rooting process for the At&t Samsung Galaxy S2 and I have a few questions around the entire process that i would like to get some concrete input on.

My objective behind rooting is only to get SuperUser access and be able to remove all of the at&t/samsung apps i dont need or use, and to use apps like titanium backup to backup all my stuff...i dont plan to ever install anything custom on my sgs2 as the stock rom is sufficient enough for what i do on the phone (at the moment).

with that said:

1) is it possible to keep everything stock and just but just enable the SuperUser access, if so, can some1 point me in the direction of what all i need to achieve this?

2) (if #1 is achieved and ) if i just root the phone by keeping everything stock, is there a posibility that my flash counter on sgs2 will get incremented? ( i am aware that there is a method to undo/reset the flash counter back to 0 ("NO"), but i would like to avoid incrementing it to begin with).

thanks for your input!
