I'd give Skycoke a try. To be honest SkyICS and Coke are the only two I've used but I've developed a serious Coke habbit. It's clean, fast and stable.

I'm sticking with it until there's a true ICS release.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] CZ Eddie:
I like that one a lot also.

But I was getting random, infrequent force closes. Mostly on superuser.

Anything Seanzcreams dev's is going to be pretty good. But he's not around for a few weeks I think. So no new updates for awhile.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tomtommy306:
Sean will be back in April after the tour w chimaira. Skyics is very stable and clean though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dxwilliams40:
I really liked sky ics, and nexus mod 2.0. Tpc is really good as well but the dev moved on so no updates. If you like eye candy try one of the sky versions or nexus mod.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sgtpepperaut:
what Rom do you guys recommend if i am looking for stability, battery life and lots of customization (tweaking wise not graphics wise)...

i am using sky ics 7.4 speed... its very flashy and has lots of graphics stuff i dont really need but its draining my battery like crazy. i can barely go 10 hours without charging.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] TheMilkManz:
Try using the stock skyice. I am using this version and the battery life is awesome. Best batter life I have had with any android phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sgtpepperaut:
yeah i am running speed at the moment ...going to downgrade to stock.

the problem i am having is that my phone never goes to sleep...! i am trying to find what causes the wake lock...with the screen off is still draings batter like crazy...

i have my eyes on the call recorder...could that be the culprit?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] TheMilkManz:
Idk...its gotta be some app that you downloaded though...cant be a system app since those come on the rom and mine is fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:

haha i just bought it in the marketplace ..there goes my 2 euros haha ;)

2 much to Choose

I like the stability of SkyIce 7.4 Lots of eye candy. Right now using StokMod-2-UCLA3, hoping that ICS will be released soon. I Wipe about once a week just for the variety. Only Bricked the SkyRocket i727 once before the 30 days was up.

Wish I would have waited for the note.:)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] garu12:
Personally I prefer the Tmob roms. The ones here feel pretty much all the same to me too imo. There are some pretty interesting ones over there like Tuesday, Juggs and ParadoxII. Really nice themes and features too. You just need to flash our kernel or else your rotation is all outta wack. I find there is more action over there. Although the roms we do have might be less original they are pretty rock solid.(props to our devs) The only downside to the Tmob is you lose the LTE icon (still getting the speeds just no icon changing) which I couldnt care less
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Helloworld294:
heyy guys i found the ThunderBolt 2.5.1 and followed the instructions for the installation. installed all the cwm.zips but now my fone freezes on kernel flash screen :eek: do yu know if i can reverse it or something?? plzz helpp. i have sgs i9000 running cm9 build16 on semaphore 0.8.1 kernel
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dark_knight35:
Go to CWM, wipe data and flash rom and kernel again. Not all thunderbolt tweaks can be used on ics as they're made for GB.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Helloworld294:
yea i reflashed the rom and experimented again wit flashing the thunderbolt again still no luck... lost my data for nutin tho :D thanxx thoo
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dark_knight35:
Don't flash thunderbolt again, first look at pikachu's thread which tweaks are compatible with ics.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Helloworld294:
I looked at pikachu's ThunderBolt thread and it says that only the main cwm works with ics for now. I am not sure what he means by "the main cwm", and it doesnt specify which ics, but states that ThunderBolt should work on all ROM without exception. Any suggestions?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dark_knight35:
He means the main script (thunderbolt 2.5.1, the one in first post). But LMK and I think it was screenstate scaling(both in second post) do also work on ics. And it's the same on all ics roms.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Helloworld294:
Theeeen how come it didnt work on mine? Maybe i did something wrong then? All i did is download the main cwm, reboot into recovery, mount everything (i.e /system, /data, /datadata, /sdcard, /emmc) then flashed the zip. Everything went well, but when i rebooted the system, it didnt go past the kernel flash screen (semaphore ics pic in my case)...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Helloworld294:
Edit: its all good. The fix was i needed a kernel that supported init.d and needed to make sure not to mess up with mounts.

I use go launcher but notice the default home launcher way faster. Is this normal. I enjoy the options other launchers give but does it slow phone down? Can you uninstall the default launcher
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tomtommy306:
Go launcher is slow plain and simple because of all the addons. Ads ex or launcher pro are much faster.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xxsicknessxx:
Thanks. What can I do to change lock screen instead go launcher. New ones faster but hard to choose
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tomtommy306:
For the lock screen try widget locker. I use it and adw ex for the launcher. You could also try mi locker.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NativeTxn:
I've found that ADW EX and Zeam Launcher are both good, and both are faster than the TouchWiz stock launcher.

I'm using Zeam right now - not as many customization options as ADW, but I like it a lot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bacheezy:
Gingerbread launcher free, bye Eugene373 (currently a dev for 989). Super simple, not for those looking for super customizable.

I love it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Bwyan Benton:
Im using Zeam right now. I switch mostly between zeam and qq launcher.

Adw ex is also good.

Ive seriously tried every launcher. These are my favs.

Market search 360launcher thats gonna be really good to in a couple updates
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dxwilliams40:
I like go launcher ex and adw. Adw is faster but it crashes too often. Launcher pro is nice too but I prefer it on aosp or cyanogen roms. We don't have that on the skyrocket yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
I have my phone underclocked to 972 MHz, and my go launcher ex is running beautifully, no lag? So I don't understand y u would want to switch. However LauncherPro is my favorite, and I only switched because of a lack of updates
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] TheMilkManz:
I use LauncherPro and love the customization and widgets. I also have used milocker and magiclocker for custom lockscreens.

I use Google Launcher and have no problems with it. For the lockscreen I use widget locker.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
Since I switched to Go Launcher from TW, it has put android system very high in the battery stats(before it was only at 6% and now over 35%). It seems to be using up more resources. It also drains the battery faster while using the phone but doesn't change the battery drain while not in use.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] eagercrow:
Yup. I like the idea behind it, but I didn't like using it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mbucks911:
i use dxhome, there is a thread about it in themes and apps section

i tried adw but the app drawer scrolling was too slow

launcher pro and go launcher worked for a while but when i found dxhome and qqlauncher it made launcher pro and twlauncher seem laggy as sh*t. i also wasted my money on spb shell 3d i never could bring myself to use it for more than a day.

i got widgetlocker and regret nothing it is amazing. on faux 010 its so smooth it looks like the real thing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] blackraven1425:
3D transitions and all the other shininess will do that to your battery life.

I've been using many different once, everytime flashing the custom ROM's, but after an hour I go back to the best one I've ever used the 360 Launcher V2, it's free and fast.

I use it with Android 4 theme, works great looks great, has good widgets.

How ever yesterday I came across a good new launcher, Claystone launcher, if you post on FB it let's you download a Transparent theme which is pretty nice, and if you get use to working the new launcher it's actually not bad.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cradled:
Zeam and launcherpro have always been the fastest and cleanest for me. I prefer launcherpro because I can make the homescreen grids 10x10 so I have more adjustability with my widgets.

What about free and paid apps and all their stored information too ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
Just move what you want to save (photos and such) to the external sd card or to a PC.

Your apps that you download from Market is link to your Google account so once you sign back in with the same account it will get restore.

Asus App Backup Fails on all

I'm kind of in the same boat, except I did try to use Asus App Backup, except that it fails on all. I'm trying to backup 23 installed apps, 167 MB total - well under the 600 MB limit. This is after the ICS update. Any suggestions as to why it won't work? Tried titanium (free version) but it seemed to be overkill for what I wanted to do. I don't have a ton of pictures or music, all that can be easily replaced. I'm more concerned about a few apps I've gotten from Amazon and a couple of other places (all legal), but may not be able to re-install.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] casey225:
Hate to have to revive this but i haven't been able to find an answer. Mine always freezes at 7% or 12% no matter if full or partial app list. I lost root for awhile with .21 update so couldn't use TB. I am now rerooted but trying to get Asus' stock app to work on their product as ridiculous as that may sound. Doesn't matter if I use internal or external sd card.

That brings up another issue that my tfp keeps losing recognition of my external sd card. Havent been able to find any help on this either.

After doing some research on the bin format rom, i finally find the system.img offset in the v20 bin rom。

tool we need

winhex other HEX edit tool ,yaffs2img or other ext3 img editor.

Step

1.open the LGP920AT-00-V20b-ESA-XXX-JAN-10-2012+0_AP.bin in winhex or other HEX edit tool.

2. use winhex to dump the content from offset

0XB80000 to the end, and save the dump as system.img .:)

3. now you can use yaffs2img or other ext3 edit tool to edit the img. add su to bin/ (set permission 6755 ),add supperuser.apk to app/ (set permission 0644).

4,save the changes to the img.

5. write the img back to the bin.

6. flash the bin (you know how to right ?)

test fine on my 3D :D

[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:

Small improvements and added support for Koush's app.
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
I completely rewrote the app "Root Validator". It now comes in Material Design and has new tests that are better suited for the current "root situation".

Sadly there now also is an ad banner. The ads are from Google's AdMob. I really don't like adding ads, especially to apps that were previously without ads, but it was either that or unpublish the app.

Direct download:

http://darken.eu/stuff/

You can create the following file and the ads will be gone:

"/sdcard/Android/data/eu.thedarken.rootvalidator/files/no_ads"

I'm contemplating to upload the whole thing to github. There really are no secret here and it's a nice small project that shows both material design and root use.﻿
[Android Apps and Games] kotey:
Thanks for the update.

But of course I have issue with a 100k-ish app become megabytes monster because of ridiculous ads sdk inclusion. Particularly this one, which I don't actually use but recommended to hundreds of people because its just slightly larger than a simple shell script for the same task. I despise the other 99.9% similar apps, because of their size, or ads. So I hate to 'unpublish' this one from recommendations too.

Of course its your code and I respect your decision but you're welcome to reverse this (I call it ill-fated) decision. And sorry if this displeased you, I don't mean to hurt a good dev's feelings, but I need to say this so thats it.
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
I totally get that and expected feedback like this.

The apk size grew mostly because of Material Design (support down to GB), not only the Ads SDK.

RV needed an update to stay up to date with Android 5.0+ and without motiviation/fun, it was at that point just exhausting (complaints/mails). So either I make it somehow interesting for me or unpublish it. Money is always a motivating factor so ads provided that, additionally i got the chance to redesign an existing simple app in Material Design which was also fun.

I still intend to offer the most straight forward solution in contrast to other apps and add more checks in the future (next up: --context switching availability).

I will however not revert the design to save space. Possibly the ads at some point, depending on how much it actually brings in. Currently it's enough to buy a nice coffee every day, if it stays that way, I'm gonna enjoy my coffee ;).

What is more likely is that in a month or so i will publish the source code on github (i tend to enjoy that lately) and people can build their own minimalistic fork. If you raise the minimum API level to 21 (no need for support libs) you could probably keep the design and still have it below 300KB or less.

For older devices the previous RV version is probably fine. I have attached the previous to this post, feel free to share it.

Are you serious? People buy iPhones because they are simple and do what people need them to do. Old people buy iPhones because they are simple. Other people buy iPhones because they are SIMPLE.

Apple leads in smartphone sales BECAUSE THE IPHONE IS SIMPLE TO USE. I love my Galaxy Note but I'm not about to try and say that it's easier to use for a NORMAL PERSON.

As much as I hate Apple and their products I gotta agree. Simplicity is the key ingredient to Apple's success. A counterpoint to this is the fact the simplicity is what you make of it. I promise 5 years from now Android will become the new 'simple' and iProducts will become the new flip-phone.

Think of computers 10 years ago. Out of every 10 people, theres was one that would get called up to hook up a printer or set up a keyboard. That same ratio is now 1 out of 2, because people are educated in the matter.
