nothing is ever 100% safe. but as long as you follow the instructions correctly then you should be fine. this rom is not a daily driver yet tho.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Scoutamis:
Thanks...Just wanted to make sure that nothing bad would happen..And it will still work on the T989 Galaxy S II right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sk8erwitskil:
most likely nothing bad will happen. but nothing really works yet (wifi, data, cel) so unless you just want to see what ics will look like on your phone then i wouldnt suggest installing it yet. its going to be amazing once its ready tho :D and im not sure if itll work on t989 since the kernel is a skyrocket kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Scoutamis:
Thanks! I flashed the Evervolv Rom Preview 1 with a Skyrocket Kernel and it worked flawlessly so ill assume that this will work as well. Thanks alot :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sk8erwitskil:
nice! thats awesome
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Scoutamis:
Ok so i flashed this ROM using CWM and it turned out great. The ROM was slow..which i was expecting. But when i went to restore my Beastmod 4.25 backup, it restored all of the system, stopped the restore, and then the screen went black. When i rebooted, Beastmod booted fine, except all my data was gone :( So for all you T989 users, be careful. Lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sk8erwitskil:
if you didnt use titanium backup then try this:https://market.android.com/details?id=com.handyandy.appextractor&hl=en

it lets you restore individual things from CWM backups
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Scoutamis:
Thank you! Next time i will back up my apps before flashing a ROM thats barely in the Alpha stage :D

Anyway do u know what might have caused my little issue? Just wondering..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sk8erwitskil:
you tried restoring a backup from clockwork right? what version of clockworkmod were you using? and if you made a backup then all your apps are in that backup. you can use that appextractor app to pull just the apps or contacts or whatever else you want out of the backup you made. try doing the restore again but this time plug your phone into your computer and type "adb shell tail -f /tmp/recovery.log" into command prompt and if it fails then copy and paste all the contents of that command into pastebin and ill look and see what happened
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Scoutamis:
Im using the most recent version of Clockworkmod...and im a COMPLETE noob so i have no idea what u jsut said in that paragraph..sorry lol. But its fine, i dont really care why it didnt work, im just glad i could restore half my rom lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sk8erwitskil:
lol no worries man. try out that app tho. i used it before i got titanium backup. it works great. itll show you a list of all the apps that you had before and let you pick which ones you want to re-install
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Scoutamis:
Thabk you so much! That is VERY helpful :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Scoutamis:
Hey jomeister15... Just wanted to know how progress was going with the Rom..and also, if you were gonna release Alpha 1 soon :D Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jomeister15:
Development is chugging along, I'm incredibly close to fixing audio, and I believe I'm on the right track with fixing the laggy graphics. Expect Alpha1 by the end of this week.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Scoutamis:
Can i ask what Alpha 1 will include?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xavier6303:
No offense but may I suggest a "wait and see" approach and allow the dev's to dev. It appears you are bouncing back and forth between both 4.0 threads asking questions that will be answered eventually. If you aren't collaborating....don't post.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] neilkarunatilaka:
not sure if this was brought up or not, but can't you edit the build.prop variable of eng to user to eliminate the red border boxes? apologies if this was already addressed previously, just trying to help :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Scoutamis:
Just wanted to see how progress was coming along...sorry for asking a question
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hansmrtn:
I dont know if anyone has done this, but here is a post I made in the other ICS dev thread, it may help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jomeister15:
Thank you, will try the first couple related to wifi and the sdcard, but I've already tried enabling hw acceleration, and Ibelieve that the laggy 3d graphics is related to something else... something to do with this logcat line.

open(/dev/kgsl-3d0) failed: errno 2. No such file or directory
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hansmrtn:
I'll look into that. Shouldnt be too hard to fix :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jomeister15:
Sigh... my USB To SATA cable broke so I no longer have access to my source on my external hard drive at the moment. I can probably fix some minor things by using lib files from Gingerbread for the time being, but expect development to slow down a bit until I can spring for a replacement. Still will upload Alpha1 either tomorrow or this weekend.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xboarder56:
hey man i just wanted to say sorry if we got off on the wrong foot good luck with ics over here on xda :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] indiankid25:
Is development on this still in progress? I'm just wondering not asking for etas or anything of the sort.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jomeister15:
Yes... alpha1 coming this weekend. The reasons development has slowed up recently are

1) My USB-SATA cable broke so I can no longer access my source

2) I've tried about everything I can throw at them, but I still can't get the 3d graphics drivers to initialize.

3) I'm lazy

In all seriousness, development will resume shortly when amazon delivers my shiny new cable, and either I or topprospect find a fix for the 3d graphics.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] :
You guys are doing great keep it up take your time though
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bacheezy:
Damnit. Equipment malfunction will get you every time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] greekunit690:
Just noticed alpha 1 released...anything data/wifi-wise working yet?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Fortune090:
Might want to talk to topprospect about getting calling and sms working. ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jomeister15:
Nope, just rotation fix.

Talking to him as we speak... I think I may have an idea for cell network, will test it out later today.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Fortune090:
Sweeeeet. Saw he found a way to get it working so I thought I'd get the word out. :)

You still working without your cable?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jomeister15:
I tried getting one from amazon, but I couldn't find a really good deal... I ended up just driving over to microcenter and picking one up there. Development is now back on track. Woot. If I could just find a solution for those laggy graphics everything would be right in the world.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] occupational_hazard:
I'm am curious about this build. Especially after reading in a different thread with the galaxy note on an ICS build. I wonder if we will be able to port this over. This started on an i9100

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1494114

Its for resetting the flash counter since the jigs no longer do the trick. And I understand this is probably not the right thread but looks to be one of the more promising ICS builds.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Fortune090:
Not quite until someone builds an ICS kernel or until it's released. As far as I'm still aware, all these ICS builds devs are making here use a modified GB kernel. Reading through that OP, he said the partitions the app uses to reset them aren't visible in GB.

And jomeister15, that's awesome! Great to see progress rollin smooth. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] iloveandroid16:
How hard is it to get data up & running? do you have to write drivers or just copy over somthing from our GB sources?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mbucks911:
Im guessing pretty difficult because if it was easy they would have done it already
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xboarder56:
it will require framework edits, i did it for the htc amaze to get working

in framework.jar
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] smully1:
Any updates?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jomeister15:
Still working on it. Will post alpha2 when I feel its ready. Maybe 2-3 days.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hansmrtn:
To get the external sd card working...just grab rmt_storage, sdcard, and mount from the bin on a gb rom and push it to the bin on ICS. Bam, external sd works. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jomeister15:
Any progress made on tracking down a graphics fix?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] t3chfr3ak07:
Just want to say thanks and keep up the hard work. Can't wait till its fully up and running!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hansmrtn:
I actually haven't really looked into that yet. When I get time, I sure could though. Keep up the work! :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] armyveterangunner29:
Good job, guys keep on keepin on
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wali01x:
what i can also suggest is check out github from freexperia because xperia phones use crapdragon *snapdragon* processor too maybe that might help with data and what not ..and i believe their tree is built from scratch ..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jomeister15:
Update: I made some changes to the ramdisk of the kernel relating to wifi and the sdcard... The sdcard is now able to read your files (you can't write to it yet), and when you activate wifi it at least thinks about turning on as before nothing would happen. Progress. Still banging my head against the wall on the graphics issue. Seems like the most miniscule changes to the lib files breaks the build. Agh. Will keep you guys updated as I trudge further along.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xomiax:
So what files contain the ril data in the tree?

Sent from my SGH-T989 Lawyerphone
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] infinitybiff:
Just a thought, but might be worth checking and seeing if anything from CM9 Tendorloin (HP TOUCHPAD) could help us out. It has the same CPU/GPU as this and the tmo sgs2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jomeister15:
Yeah, I looked into that, but the touchpad isn't to the skyrocket as the Tmo sgs2 is... There are a couple other differences I'd have to iron out that I really don't want to. Plus, managing both this, a CM9 rom, and my Gingerbread rom all on one device would be ridiculous. However, I encourage you to check it out for yourself, who knows, maybe you'll get lucky.

Samsung Galaxy S II Android 4.0 ICS update set for March 10th.

Link: http://www.slashgear.com/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-android-4-0-ics-update-set-for-march-10th-08217612/

Im guessing that this is going to help move the development along a little quicker.

Thanks again to all the devs!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] alphadog32:
That doesn't do anything, sorry, but Thanks for Trying to Help :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] BaconStep:
That's for the international gs2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] macdude15:
You can take the kernel from this version, tweak it and apply it to this phone. or just take bits and pieces from it and work with that. this phone is a GS2 just with the LTE modem. Not too big of a difference between the two
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] iandr0idos:
Oh there is A LOT of difference!!!

Tapped through cyberspace through the use of a mobile device connected to hexagonal cells
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jomeister15:
Yes, please don't do this. You will break your phone... You're thinking of the t989, not the international.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] macdude15:
Yeah i thought it might have the same hardware but i forgot about the major differences LOL! but samsung corrected its leak and says march 10th was a lie anyways.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] armyveterangunner29:
How's it coming?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] indiankid25:
hey guys hows the devving on this going?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jomeister15:
Just to inform: This project is far from dead; I've just hit a wall with the graphics issue... which I've been trying to fix for about a month now. All I know is that the OpenGL ES API is not being called, while libmedia.so, libandroid_runtime.so, and libdvm.so are all crashing. Along with system/bin/linker. This could be a kernel issue, this could be a library issue, honestly, I don't know. I've been trying to fix it for a very long time and I'm starting to get frustrated.

I'll keep trying.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] futuregerald:
Thanks for the update man. Much appreciated. Good luck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tomtommy306:
No worries jomeister... Take your time and keep up the good work bro.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] iwebsource:
We need the full source to drop.. Soon
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Shadeslayers:
I'm far from a dev, but I am majoring in this stuff (only just started this semester though).

If it's graphics, wouldn't it be kernel side? The kernel is responsible for all of that stuff right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jomeister15:
Probably... I just have very little leads as to how to fix it.

Edit: Added some 4.0.3 kernel source to my github. Let me know if you want to contribute. ------> https://github.com/jomeister15/ICS-SGH-I727-kernel
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mbucks911:
i dont know if you care but xboarder just bricked his phone again and its not getting fixed so evervolv is abandoned by xboarder but he wants someone to continue his work on it. i know you guys had a dispute and you dont want to use any of his work but i thought you should know if you didnt already
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] droid512:
For the greater good why not compare notes? Pleaaaaaaaase
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wali01x:
i wish i could help on building this because i just started taking c++ courses and still a newbie on c++ and also gonna be taking framework,php,java and others too.

so far what ive learned is

include <<iostream>>

use namescape std;

}

cin : << "Text Here">>;

cout : << "Text Here" >>;

}

return 0;

}

so you can imagine this is just the basic lol i wish i could join soon which i will as soon as i can and also involve my teachers in helping me work with kernel and so forth then once i take java then everything else will fall into sequence..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
That's great man, your education will really help out the community! Keep learning!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wali01x:
thank you sir. the reason i started taking c++ and so forth is because i know right now if i can learn this stuff i can help our 727 community and hopefull work with great devs building ics roms and so forth..

but still im gonna do what i can and look @ android sdk site and seee how i can start from scratch there and hopefully soon we'll have results..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
For sure, the more people learn and work together the better off the community will be. Key thing being WORKING TOGETHER! Sometimes if you run into a roadblock another suggestion or tip can solve it and move the process forward.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sheolrock:
Based on my own experience: you will need to get familiar with object orientation before Android stuff makes any sense. I'm a couple semesters ahead of where you are and loving it! Keep on keepin on!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] plwalsh88:
Would you guys mind me asking what type of degree you are both working towards? What major and what kind of courses are you taking? Thanks, and good luck!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] armyveterangunner29:
Yea x said anyone can kang his stuff. Maybe he has the drivers you need to get it going.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wali01x:
hey for sure we have to continue our roads on c++ and what not has to offer. well for me what im doing right now is catching up on what i should've done 7 yrs ago. im 27 and i missed alot of things rather hanged with wrong people and went on wrong lanes but now married, 3 yr old daughter, was working 2 jobs 1 full time & part time. finishing up my school and then go for a field in computer. could be hardware most likely and software base such as c++ and framework,php, networking/infastructure and so forth is what im doing now with my school stuff also.. and then once school stuff finishes i'll go for computer hardware and also learn software with it soo i'll be all rounder.

also xboarder's stuff has touchscreen, boot, wifi, working and whats not working is bluetooth, gps, data, camera

so maybe we can bring his project over here & rip it apart and start so forth ..see what happens..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] plwalsh88:
That's awesome man! I would love to learn more about all that stuff. I'm in grad school right now for engineering. So I know my coding and all, just a different type of coding. But I've been wanting to look into some more computer-focused classes, or certificate courses; I would love to learn both software and hardware, but mostly software. Anyway, I hope everything works out for you and you end up doing what you love!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Fortune090:
Why doesn't x get his phone JTAG'ed...? A JTAG for the SR came out finally.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wali01x:
no idea dude .. well he alot of projects he's working on. he's working on amaze 4g ics too so i don't know can't say on his behalf.. anyways.

edit : question for you guys does anyone know xboarder's github if he has one setup cause id like to compare the things not working on this rom to his and see if we can edit and compile it to get those things working...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] R4INS:
Dug this up, not sure what rom or device etc I just found the link.

https://github.com/xboarder56

its probally for our phones
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wali01x:
checkmate this is what i need .. now ill try to do some comparing between the two repos and see what we can jumpstart. so we'll look into wifi codes and see how x got wifi working ..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] R4INS:
Could have thanked me for the link not the guy who quoted me :-P
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wali01x:
lol sorry well i thanked him & you so there u go :D anyways i just booted on ubuntu and see what i can do now..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] R4INS:
lol right on, good luck, was just messing with ya.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kuraijay:
btw he had gsm working i think. he had posted the libbinder.so to push to our phones.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] droid512:
I believe in miracles let's work this out together..... Yay team work
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] orlandoxpolice:
Don't think so. The 4G icon appeared but nothing would communicate.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wali01x:
so yesterday i tried digging and doing what i could but again i need team involved in this since im just on basic c++ it really is hard to make it senseable ..most stuff i know i was able to read because of c++ stuff but some stuff to me just didn't make sense as one of the users said its still hard when you're new to c++ and so forth .. so id appreciate if we can make a irc channel if we don't have 1 and all advanced users get into this & we'll all communicate all @ one shot..i know with team together we can do this.. come on guys step foward if you have c++ framework, java experience it'll be a good assist..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
Man, I wish I could help out with this but I have no experience. Basically what I'm doing is reading a lot on rom/kernel development to try and familiarize myself with all the coding. For now I have nothing to offer as far as troubleshooting or deving.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jomeister15:
If you want to get involved, and do manage getting some of the source files compiled into better working lib/bin/whatever files, you can push them to my project's github, link in the OP. Keep in mind that my github is not the source, its just the files created by the source that are ready to be zipped into a rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wali01x:
jomeister definatly for sure im trying to get an enviornment setup on my system .. and also setting up a kitchen too so i can somehow start gb miui for our fellaz but its hard dude >_< i wish my teacher were here id do these things in no time..but yeah im gonna look into all this and sit down again with what we can do ..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jomeister15:
Eh, we'll be ok. Especially if top comes back and gets involved. I'm sure someone else will pick up the MIUI build as well, or iandroidos might even return. Right now what I'd like for people to do is take a look at both the logs and see if anyone can discern what's failing with the framebuffer first off, because that's what's causing the laggy graphics, and then we can work from there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wali01x:
will do boss..

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] topprospect:
Been here all along. I unfortunately haven't had much time to help debug. Sorry for that.

I'll take a look at your github and see what I can do. The first order of business is to get everyone on the same page--compiling the same source and producing the same results. Then we can debug as a team.

Xboarder's source does compile from scratch and does run. But he uses Evervolv as his base and you are using Code Aurora. There are edits to the Evervolv source that are not in Code Aurora and vice versa. Regardless, we should be comparing Xboarders device tree as others have suggested.

thats what i was hoping to do also was to have an irc channel have some of us work together @ it..because building a rom means communication straight forth and yeah if u look @ how his github is set up compare it to jon's its different but it will require alot of digging guys .. im starting with any files i can also but its alot not all @ once can be done . we're not gonna be able to boot this rom in like less then a month..it'll take 10+ guys going @ it head to head like look @ cm team ..

it amazes me how u guys do this stuff for fun and the benefit of the community. I have a computer engineering background but my programming skills are meager at best. I can merely sit from the sidelines, wsit patiently, amd offer up encouragement... and debug/bugtest if u need it.
