[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] garydv2002:
Yea I use apex to. Used to use go launcher its also highly customizable but for me apex is more simple and just cleaner with a lot less to download. As for sky ics I could flash it without to much trouble just hadn't found a rom yet I would like to try. Just hadn't found one with a mix of what I want yet. And yea your right I never format anyway if I really needed to wipe for some reason I would use dark side wipe but only if I encountered a situation where it was necessary. Maybe I'm just not sure what I'm looking for is why I ain't found a rom that made me say wow that's it.. I flashed the dark night rom on my captivate and I really really liked it. Hadn't found one like it yet for the skyrocket but I'm hoping. I'm working on learning how to cook my own rom so maybe I'll be able to build a rom of my own before long. So give me some ideas. What would you all like to see in a rom that you are not seeing now.....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mindmajick:
You misunderstand. I use adw ex, not apex.

Also, darkside wipes the system, cache, etc stuff, not the sdcards (internal and external). Its a prep for a new rom.

As for what i want in a rom: I've got it already. Cm9 and aokp.

Not trying to sound harsh, btw. Always trying to help.

You guys know where I can get a copy of the Trebuchet launcher? I've searched but all the links are dead.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mindmajick:
I can post it for you, but unless you are running a rom with it pre installed you won't have any way to change the settings.

Your call.

Bring it on. Can't stand these 3rd party launchers
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] garydv2002:
Oh yea I know. And I do appreciate all help. I was saying I use apex. I have used adw in the past to just really like the simplicity of apex and its still highly customizable. But I do have a few questions I'm confused about....

1. Is this brickbug problem only when you format the SD? What about wiping cache or factory reset? Are they safe to do? I have never formatted the SD internal or external anyway. Just don't see a need for it.

2. When these new rom instructions say to format what do they mean? Format system as in a complete wipe or format the SD? I just can't see what formatting the SD would matter.

Maybe that's what has me thrown off on some of these roms that I just ain't found what I want yet. Guess I'm just more interested in doing my own rather than settle for what someone else has done... to me creating a rom is kinda like creating art. What some find cool others find not cool.....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mindmajick:
First for the eater of kitties: (from latest cm9 nightly)

http://db.tt/4TZTOy2v

And now for you :D

1. The brick bug is only a problem when formatting emmc from an ics based kernel. Since all of our recoveries are based on GB kernel, format from there and you will be ok. Dont format from an ics based rom unless the op tells you its fixed.

2. Not sure which rom you are talking about so not sure of the answer. As to why you would format: there are bits left from whatever roms and apps you have had previously. Example: android and data folders.

I also appreciate how you feel about wanting to do things yourself. Its a healthy attitude to have ;)

You really might want to take a look at aosp based roms like cm9, it is a totally different experience than stock based. Being able to change themes without a flash is one of the main attractions for many people. Also many tweaks built right in (cpu control for example).

--
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] garydv2002:
The dark night rom on my captivate had the CPU control feature and I liked it. Also had toggle mod which I do miss. I would like to do a toggle mod myself but I can't do it without being on an odexed rom and to odex I have to cook it which I don't mind. I have cooked a gingerbread rom 2.3.6 UCLA but I hadn't fooled with an ics rom yet because of the brickbug. I don't feel comfortable enough putting out a rom that has even a 1% chance of bricking someone's phone. I just don't wanna mess no one up. So for now I'll just continue to play with cygwin and fool with gingerbread. And maybe when the official ics comes out maybe by that time I will be more familiar with cooking roms enough to maybe even put one out. If you will post a link to the cm9 you are talking about and I'll look at it and see what I think. I know its in the dev section but I think I remember seeing somewhere they had a website with screen shots as well... is the one in the dev section the official cm9? I seen one that says not official...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mindmajick:
Get the official from the first post here.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1710289

Website here: http://www.cyanogenmod.com/

As an fyi- cyanogenmod is built completely from source code. Its not a hacked stock rom like most of the other roms. (Not knocking the other roms, hacking can be harder than working with source)

As for the brick bug. There is really nothing to fear. Just don't format anything from inside an ics rom.. which you already stated that you don't do. Even if you did format (which you shouldn't) the chances of a problem are slim.

What are doing to get battery life like that? What rom?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] garydv2002:
Thanks mindmagic. Cm9 finally looks like something I may be interested in. Its definitely the only rom ive looked at lately that impressed the hell out of me. Actually made me say wow awesome. Especially the theme maker. Its definitely a rom that's above the others ive seen. Very highly customizable and very impressive. One question though that I hadn't seen answered. What's the difference in rom download and the nightly downloads. Are the nightly just updates that you flash nightly? And oh yea maybe I read wrong but I thought I read something about the camera not working? Is there alot of stuff not working or for the most part is it fully functional. The link in the xda post to the known issues is broken that's why I ask that one...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] BaconStep:
for all the MIUI bros lithium posted the new build for us.

https://twitter.com/0xD34D/status/214564408934932480
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Fortune090:
Nightlies are basically just builds of any edits done since the previous nightly or stable build. Based on the term, they're updated day by day then released that night to reflect what edits the team has done throughout the day. They can sometimes be a little buggy (whoever built/flashed it usually says so), but they're mostly stable enough to flash. Currently, the CM9 official build and nightly are pretty much completely identical, lol.

And a quick little tip, if you really need to completely format your phone including your internal SD, just use the latest Odin one-click before you flash a rom. ;) Externals I usually just manually delete, since I don't typically have too much on there but music.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mindmajick:
The nightlies are the latest and greatest builds from the developers. They CAN be flashed nightly and i can confirm the latest is safe. The rom download are stable "point" type releases.

It is fully functional except for some minor bugs. Camera works fine.

The two things to be aware of are these:

1. After charging it is best to reboot or you may not go into "sleep mode" when the screen is off. That results in faster battery drain.

2. If you let your battery drain to 0 you may think you bricked your phone when you try to turn it back on. The fix is to put on the charger until you have some juice back. Pull battery, unplug, turn back on (happened to me and scared the sh!t out of me).

That's the worst of it for me. I'm expecting these bugs will be gone shortly since we JUST went official last week.

Edit: same wavelength with fortune, i guess. Lol. But what a time consuming way to format. Much faster and easier to use recovery.

--
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] garydv2002:
Yea that's all I keep on my external is music and movies that way when I flash a leak or something I don't have to keep moving it back and forth between the PC and phone. Transfering that stuff just to flash a leak or a rom is just to time consuming. I keep my zip files like modems and kernels on my phones SD but nothing that's not backed up on my PC. I usually hook my phone to the PC at least once a week and back up the new stuff I downloaded thru the week anyway.

Oh yea and if you just wanted to format your external and have a card reader on the PC like I do you could format it with the PC but can't imagine why you would need or want to. I believe you can format the phones SD thru the PC to if you wanted to. I have done an external for someone cause they would have it no other way but I have not tried the phones SD. I know if you right click the drive (mine shows up as L) it gives you the option to format but like I said I've never tried the phones SD. I have a test phone I might try just to see what happens. I wish I had a test skyrocket but if I did I would probably brick it trying to push the envelope and do cool stuff. Bricking is the only thing that keeps me from really experiminting with the skyrocket. My test phone is a captivate which is close but not the same...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Fortune090:
Yeah, I understand using Odin to format is time-consuming, but usually when I have time to flash a new rom, I have a LOT of time, so it's no biggie, haha. I DO use recovery to wipe before a new base or just do a factory reset/cache/format system if I'm lazy, but every once in awhile I decide to wipe with Odin. Gives me a better sense of a fresh start, lol.

And Gary, I had a Captivate before this phone too! Loved that thing... Really miss the metal back it had. Made the phone seem/feel SO much more durable.

My wife is extremely lucky that I love her. I was out starting up the charcoal grill on Saturday night when she decided to go inside the house to take a nap. She went up to the third floor, put earplugs in, and crashed out. Oh, and she locked the door behind her and locked me out!!! :mad:

I tried banging on the door, calling her, texting her, tried to force the door open, tried to break in through the basement, shouted at the top of my lungs from outside, but she was out cold.

I ended up grabbing a ladder from the neighbor's house and breaking in through a third floor window. Made a ton of noise getting in but she still didn't wake up! If I did this to her there would be no sex for a month. I forgave her but promised to keep reminding her about it any time she gets mad at me. And she owes me a nice, long "favor". :p
