Been waiting for this forever! Many thanks!! Anyone have any luck with changing the LCD density on the latest build of this rom?

Edit correction: Not changing the LCD density, but more fixing market permissions? I'm able to adjust the dpi with rom toolbox, but running the fix with lcd modder pro makes my play store not able to connect?

Took care of my own stupid question... :rolleyes: If anyone else is interested, edit the LCD density with rom toolbox, and there's a post in the themes section where someone created a flashable play store with a DPI fix. For some reason LCD Modder Pro's fix makes it all go haywire with this particular build. :shrug:

Great ROM, I've been using my own modification of stock until now. A couple things though:

scrolling wallpaper doesnt work with the included microbes LWP (not sure why this could be, works with other LWPs)

Google+ would be good (imo) to have in /data, not /system, same with the LWP's that would work from there.

I consider SocialHub bloat, though i know all the SNS apps would make it probably not uninstallable from the /data partition... (this is just a comment, not really a suggestion)

can you set the default CPU min to be 192 MHz be default without a script? thatd be cool, though im not sure how possible. a script to do it wouldnt be too bad though.

also, have you changed anything in the stock launcher besides the icons and the fading dots? i like my dots not to fade, so if i can replace it with the stock launcher without any other changes, itd be cool.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Blairware:
This is making me nuts!

Actually what Scott14719 refernces about this NOT being present in the first 2 ICS leaks has not been my experience at all. The 1st leak, where everyone was going nuts reflashing to rid themselves of the Home Button not working, and the Power Down issue, was

I think

the one where I had the exact same problem with the Touchkey lights, but I can't swear it was the 1st and not the second leak because frankly I flashed my brains out between the two of them, but I will say that it was possibly NOT a Oneclick flash, but one of the modded roms.Still it was a base of those leaks. In any event I never KNEW about the issue on GB, as I only had my phone a few weeks when the leaks started rolling.

Next, I tried covering the light sensor AFTER changing settings to "Always On" (my preferred and ONLY acceptable choice) and it worked through three screen off/screen on cycles with quick press power button. On the 4th it failed, this after covering the light sensor with black tape to be 100% sure. So I don't know how that fits in with romracer's findings, as they sure appear to be light sensor related.

Know what? I am game to test a fix... any fix at this point. If the Mod needs a tester, I am available, just PM me and let me know. Thanks again for a wonderful ROM. Even with this extremely aggravating issue, I am hanging tight with Alien 8 for now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] romracer:
Sorry I haven't tried that. You might have to edit build.prop?

I don't remember microbes scrolling before, does it?

I could have moved Google+ to /data, but it seems Google wants it to be a part of ICS, so I left it. Space is not an issue on /system and the LWPs do nothing if they aren't running, so no reason to make them removable. If people want to, they can remove them with ADB or delete them from the zip.

SocialHub can't be moved to /data because too much stuff breaks if its removed.

I think there's a /sys interface for CPU speed, but I haven't messed with it. It'd have to be conservative since too many people's phones differ.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Pseudonym117:
Microbes does scroll and looks so awesome when it does. Worked in gingerbread and it works in apex and nova, just not the stock launcher. Little confusing, to me, that everything else works.

All those reasons make sense to me.

I don't mean any crazy overclocking, just setting it so the already existent speed in the kernel is the min. I'd imagine that would save battery. Though I've never experienced my phone not being able to handle a speed, so I'm not sure how safe it would be for everyone.

Boot Sound ? AND Possible FIX

RomRacer,

Would you school me on how to add a boot sound to play along with your kick-ass boot-animation?

I was thinking maybe Crazy Train intro

Also what are your thoughts on the V6Supercharger as well as the 3gTurbocharger

anyway cant wait to see what your working on as far as updates.

Thanks Brotha,

You Rock at what you do

What I did to finally fix the Freeze when powering down or Restarting and random app stops

Prior Steps

First "Coming from GB-2.3.5" I flashed the UCLE odin leak,and then Alien8.

I had the problems "mentioned above" so I followed all Instructions from all the previous Posts in this thread.

After "Flashing,Re-flashing,booting,Fix-Permissions,Wipe-cache's,re-booting" All this about 20 different times and in almost every possible order.

I still Had the Freeze on Power down And Re-start. I also noticed occasionally, a message stating that su had stopped and the option to press ok I also had the same message for web. Inspite of the messages Superuser seemed to be working fine granting permissions and all. I had yet to even use the web app.

AnyWay what I did next was to Check root via Joeykrim's RootcheckerPro.apk from market.

Root was good as I suspected.

Then in the same app I checked Busy-box It showed installed version 1.19.3cm9 And said it was installed correctly.

Actual Fix

I then proceeded to update Busy-Box to the most current version via Stericson BusyboxPro.apk also found in market. In the app install the newer Bbox Version to /system/xbin but dont change any symlinks just hit install and let the app do its thing and when done close app and re-boot your phone. This Is What Finally did it for me

Thoughts on subject

My theory would be that there was a problem with a specific symlink not the Bbox version itself but I lack the know how to investigate properly. "

If correct

" I think "

maybe

" Jrummy's Busy-Box installer Pro.apk in market gives the ability to just fix symlinks on current Bbox-Version But I'm not 100% sure.

I hope this will Help somebody and save others some time, but most importantly allow more people to stay on this Kick-ASS Rom

I'm on ATT not Rogers, but doubt it matters.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rjohnstone:
Ok after a couple of days, the only issue that bugs me is the data disconnects.

I flashed the radio linked in the install instructions as suggested and it's got "issues". Usually a flip in and out of airplane mode kicks it back in, but once I had to reboot the phone to get data back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mymusicathome:
Hey romracer do you have a zip for the default lockscreen to revert too if wanted?

Have been running this ROM since release and loving it. Updated to your asop lockscreen and was thinking about going back . .. I could reflash the ROM but looking for an easy fix.

Ran fine for a few days

I've had this for a few days and it was great but all of a sudden it started rebooting itself without any pattern at all, but always with some interaction sometimes reading twitter, using whatsapp, random stuff... I figured I would flash again and report in a couple of days. This also happened with Alien 7 didn't report it since reflashing worked that time.

Has anyone else had this problem?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] scott14719:
I haven't had any data disconnect issues, but here is something for you to try.

A little backstory first:

It seems like every other modem / radio that Samsung releases (or leaks) has data connection issues for me. Its not that it will randomly disconnect, it just that it won't connect in "weak" signal areas at all. So, as usuall, I took my phone to work with me today to check out the UCLE2 modem. No surprise, I couldn't get a signal. So I decided to reflash the UCLD2 modem to the UCLE2 ROM to see if it would work. I already knew the Kernels will not work when switching but I figured...what the hell...I'll give the modem a try. I flashed the D2 modem and rebooted. As suspected, no data, just a circle with a line through it. I'm guessing removing the systems file from the D2 modem might make it work with the E2 ROM, but that is besides the point. I then reflashed the E2 modem back to the E2 ROM and rebooted the phone. After it came back up and settled down I found that I have the BEST radio reception that I have ever had with this phone. It even connects inside the building that I work in!

So, what I am saying is simply try to reflash the UCLE2 modem and see if it helps.

On a side note, I have had my bluetooth randomly disconnect on me during phone calls twice now on this ROM. I had to turn the earpeace off and on again to reconnect. Besides that and the "touchlight" issue everything else seems to work well.

not sure if its been asked already, but are you going to include s-voice in a future update?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jorge_moran_jams:
Now I'm freaked out

Guys please help...

So I tried reflashing it didn't work, after a few it seemed as if the power button would stuck and then the phone would reboot itself vibrating like crazy, and only a battery pull would fix it. I tried flashing Odin 1click, but even after one click the phone is behaving like that... Any ideas? Kinda desperate here...

Thanks for your help
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Blairware:
So, is the power button really stuck, or is it just "acting" like it's stuck? Either way, it starts sounding like hardware issue. Any chance you are still under warranty? If so, you still have the option to restore to stock and get warranty replacement, since you can still flash at this point. Sorry I don't have anything better to offer, perhaps someone else will chime in?

What would be the point? Samsung has blocked all other devices communicating with the servers for this "amped" up version of Vlingo. Unless someone has figured out how to spoof the ID of the phone to simulate a GS3, and I missed the memo.

Hey I've been running this rom since build 8 came out and it's excellent I like everything basic and fast.

My question is how do you edit the zip to remove more apps/bloat? So far I just uninstall them with titanium backup.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dixit:
You can open the zip in 7zip and then just remove the bloat from there like say go into system/app and delete what you don't want there. But you already installed it and using TiBu which is preferred. Doing it at the zip level you would need to know all the app file names.

Just one little issue to resolve

Anyone found a solution for what folks keep erroneously calling "Touch Lights" bug for "Always On" setting? (not that it matters, but on the phone they are called Touch KEY lights)

I continue to find this very annoying, but my options is only to go back to ICS 4.03 ROMS? There has simply GOT to be a better way, LOL!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] carrett:
I just noticed that the input method notification that shows up whenever a keyboard is on screen (in lieu of the option to long press to switch methods) doesn't show up on this ROM. This means switching input methods requires going to the home screen, opening preferences, selecting the one you want, and then going back to the text box. This is especially annoying for me since I use LastPass and would like to use their input method easily. Any easy way to bring it back on this ROM? Thanks! Love it otherwise!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] romracer:
Boot sound is PowerOn.ogg in /system/etc. I don't think it has to be an Ogg file, but I haven't actually tried either. The support for it is there in the kernel, I just deleted the stock sound (I hate that AT&T sound).

Your other issues sound like your /cache partition was/is corrupt. ICS-based recoveries (anything 5.5.x or 5.8.x) don't properly wipe /cache for the most part. You can see this if you look in /tmp/recovery.log while still in recovery and after flashing a ROM that wipes /cache (like mine). I use the old school original 5.0.2.7 CWM recovery or TWRP (I use a TWRP that uses the original SR kernel - I can upload if people want it).

Weird. I had data issues with previous ICS leaks, but not once with UCLE2. Most others seem to corroborate this, but maybe its just less common?

I don't have one pre-packaged. But if you just drag the android.policy.jar and framework-res.apk out of the regular Alien ICS #8 and put them into the "AOSP lockscreen" zip and re-flash it, it will undo the mod. Those are the only two files that change for the AOSP lockscreen.

Weird. My phone uptime is currently 122 hours and counting. See my comment above about a possible corrupt /cache partition.

I don't know if it will be included by default because it replaces some files that come with the phone. I don't know the impact of that. But I do have a flashable zip that works fine (doesn't appear to be blocked by Samsung, etc). Its like 90 megs so I can't attach it; I just need to get around to uploading it and providing a link. <-- Blame Diablo 3 for that.

Vibrating usually means some process has stopped responding. Could be a foreground or background app. But re-flashing One-Click should fix it, since it rewrites the /cache partition. From what you describe though, a corrupt /cache partition sounds like the culprit...

I think the camera is still a little buggy in the leaks which might explain Quickpic. I was waiting for fireworks to start last night and had the camera sitting idle, and the phone would just close the camera app after a while (didn't happen once it was recording though). Maybe that's a "feature" I've never noticed, but it seems more likely a bug in the camera code.

How are you getting into the AccuWeather app? Seems like a silly question, but I don't know where this app is... Its not in my app drawer.

Sorry, I have not. I found out the issue in a previous post, but everything I tried to work around that simply didn't help. I could skip that function altogether, but that probably has other implications which may not be desired.

The IME switcher is a flag in framework-res.apk. I have it disabled, but you're not the first to mention it. Maybe I can bring it back, or make a flashable mod that includes only that. To me, I don't see the need for it to take up space on my notification bar, but I also rarely switch IMEs too...

Here's a flashable S-Voice zip I use. It seems to work fine, but I don't know if its "the latest and greatest" or not.

The data disconnects have disappeared, so I'm guessing it was an AT&T issue and not the phone.

Just an odd coincidence.

So far the ROM has been very stable.... only a few FC's, but I'm pretty sure they were app related or from me experimenting with build.prop tweaks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] carrett:
Oh cool, I'll decompile the framework-res.apk and fix it myself. If you want to tell me how to make a flashable zip, I'd be happy to post it here. Just didn't know if that was removed intentionally or not.

Thanks!

EDIT: Luckily it was right near the top of bools.xml so it was a super easy fix. Thanks again!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] romracer:
If you want to attach your framework-res.apk to your post, I can put in a zip. Alternately, you can download something like my AOSP lockscreen in the first post and drop your framework in the zip (and remove android.policy.jar from it).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] carrett:
Did as you suggested to your AOSP zip and attached the result. Hopefully this helps some other folks.

Know that I'm not sure if any changes have been made to this "android.policy.jar" other than this mod but it is possible because I got it from a Rom specific thread. Also Any Thanks go to "seanzscreams"

I'm still using this ROM and it still is working great. As mentioned before, data / signal loss is an issue that shows just every once in a while. For me, it only happens when I'm going from WiFi to tower or tower to WiFi. If I toggle the "data" botton it starts to work again quickly. But, like I said, it only happens maybe once out of 20 times or so (for me). I think it is clearly a bug of the UCLE2 leak in general.

More interesting though, is the Kernel that mohan_kr released here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1701189

I have not tested it, but he claims the source code used in this kernel has fixed the "touchkey" issue. I think he based it off of the Korean version of the phone but I wonder how difficult it would be to identify the working code in that kernel and transfer it to this one (with his permission of course). I am hoping AT&T will drop the OTA soon with these slight issues fixed so we can just flash the OTA Alien ICS build.
