[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unibombz:
I am really tempted to start using this ROM again, I did flash Build 7 on my phone just to try it and there were some things that made me go back to my GB build until official OTA was out (whenever that is) from what most have been posting this ROM/Build is solid and there is really nothing more to it. However with any ICS ROM i have been looking at, missing a few kernel features I like (comparing to my GB ROMs) but I am wanting to toy with ICS more and more , the more I read about it.

I hope we get something official soon so we can get some nice kernels rocking for these ROMs. romracer is dam thorough so I can not complain about that. Any suggestions on anything please feel free to post.

Thank you :)

i have unfortunately moved on to another ROM.... maybe he will be back soon.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] romracer:
I don't plan to add the SGS3 stuff, so currently I'm waiting for the ICS release (or another leak). I do plan to look at the Hercules source to see if I can use their kernel to fix the touchkey bug, but that's really the only issue I've seen with this leak.

I haven't seen that app, but the post you linked refers to the only real solution from Samsung themselves, "We plan to fix it via official releases in the future." Personally, I haven't see any problems.

I will look at the Hercules source soon.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unibombz:
Excellent, I have used previous builds of this ROM, and no big complaints, just used to check it out. I am looking forward to new developments or the next build. Things take time so no rush. This seems like the most stable ROM (leak) out there.

Lets hope they give us official kernel source soon so we can really take this phone to the next level :)

Over a month going strong. Still the most stable and effective custom rom available for the 727. I strayed for awhile to try the AOKP and it's very nice...just a bit buggy for everyday use.

Thanks RomRacer for this rom...expect another donation today. :D

Now that 4.0.4 is out for Rogers, new base band modem. Looking forward to see what Romracer has in store for us with a new build.

Will there be 2 versions? Rogers / ATT , or will it just be sticking to one.

Keep up the good work Romracer, I am excited to see the new developments ! :)

Booooooot loop.

Maybe it isnt a boot loop yet, I understand that the initial boot can take a little time however is it normal for the initial boot to cycle between the samsung logo and the Alien boot animation? Also it sounds like the phone is cycling on and off. it vibrates, flashes the samsung logo, then the boot animation then cycles again... Feels like a boot loop and its certainly not behavior that I am familiar with from various other phones/ROMS.

Symptom

~Vibrate~

Samsung logo flashes on

Samsung logo Flashes off

~vibrate~

Logo on

Boot animation freezes

Blank Screen

~vibrate~

Repeat

also as Im typing this It seems like the process described above is randomizing.

I dont want to pull the battery if this is normal behavior but its not feeling normal.

Time is now 11:31

started at 11:16+- almost 20 minutes to boot????

__________________________________________

Round 2 starting at 12:10PM

so far same behavior.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] scott14719:
Nope, not normal at all. Did you get it to work? If not, it could be several issues but you might want to look in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1611796

Read through it and decide if it sounds like it might be the problem. You could also try to install / reinstall the latest Odin "One Click" ICS SkyRocket leak release and then after the phone settles try to install this ROM again. Please, read the thread I gave you and use the forum "search" function to answer your questions and find things. And try anything at your own risk, it could always be something completely different going on with your phone. Let us know what works.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] gorealmighty:
I appreciate it and will check out the thread ASAP. I tried flashing a different ROM and it worked very well. no hiccups etc. Im interested in this one though so as soon as I go through it I certainly will let ya know whats going on. Thanks again!

I flashed Cymbaline 1.5 Kernel today and it seems to be working fine. The "touchkey" light always on option works now. I don't OC /UV so none of that stuff means anything to me. I'll test everything out more over the next couple of days. I think this just might work well until the next evellution of Alien appears.

Nothing like an Alien rom, can't wait for a new one :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] scott14719:
X2. But honestly, Running the UCLE2 Alien 8 base with Cymbaline kernel and its going pretty smooth. I have slight data and bluetooth issues from time to time, but I think those issues have been reported on the official Skyrocket ICS leak as well. I'm really waiting for a custom kernel that is released based on the official ICS skyrocket source the adds all of the extras and works well. Cymbaline works great, but I don't need all the O/C and U/V options and I would rather have a kernel that is made for the skyrocket itself.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Elektrofreak87:
I love this rom is very smooth. But i don't know how to swap between 4G/3G/2G
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] promiseofcake:
That is because the option isn't there. It was in the Rogers 2.3.6 but we haven't seen it really in ICS so easily yet. You can use a RAT unlocked modem and change it that way.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Elektrofreak87:

I've switched to the modded UCLF6 stock Kernel and it works fine with Alien 8. The touchlights work the way they should. Cymbaline also worked great, I justed didn't need BLN support or the U/V, O/C options.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] AUSTIN3:16:
where is the modded UCLF6 kernal at?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] scott14719:
Tweaked is a better way to put it I guess. The one I am using is by mohan_kr here:

It has a modified ramdisk. If you want more mods you have to use Cymbaline (which works very well also).

Anyone hear from Romracer ?

I hope all is well with him....he's a great developer.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] M0D1441:
No, not since early June. Sure worries me, he is a great dev.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] scott14719:
User stats show he was active on the 22nd of July. He said he builds the Alien builds because it is what he wants and then he shares them here. I'm guessing the UCLE2 build is still working fine so there hasn't been a need to "fix" anything or make a new build. There really isn't much of a difference between UCLE2 and the official release. And a couple of alternative Kernels are already floating around. Maybe when JB is functioning we will see a JB Alien build? Anyway, hopefully he is OK.

Did that, wiped, and reinstalled the ROM. It worked for a while, the the force close issue has returned. I don't know what it is.

Do you use the "stock Email" on the phone? I posted an issue on the first couple of pages that sounds similar to your's (fc's and vibes and freezes returning to the phone) and (for me) I think it is coming from the stock Email APK's not playing nice with Googles servers. I also posted a possible fix, but I have to go to work soon and cannot test it out right now. I was just wondering if you noticed any issues with the stock Email?

Hello RomRacer. This is the first time I've ever tried one of your roms. GREAT WORK. I respect all the Devs here and I appreciate everyone's work. I was using Sean's roms, also awesome, but for my taste I'm finding that I actually like the stock look with the option to modify how I want to. The only thing I see to improve with this rom is the wallpaper fix, but that's a minor glitch. I'm just really wanting to say thanks for the hard work.

Well, I almost have the scrolling working bug free. As it is now, when you wrap from the last page to the first or vice versa, the wallpaper jumps to center position (although the actual screens switch fine). When you then move to the next page, it resets to where it should be. This bug is cosmetic only.

Keep in mind all of my fixes use the original APKs provided by Samsung. No mixing and matching random ROM/phone APKs here. That only leads to issues that are near impossible to debug properly.

If you feel like seeing where its at, try these two APKs in /system/app. Sorry I'm not providing detailed instructions as this function is still beta.

Use build 7.1 for working scrolling wallpapers.

The addon gallery apk works nicely. I pushed it to /system/app and when selected, it installed. Then the phone was a bit buggy at first...so I rebooted and all is well.

Full sized wallpaper works well...not sure if it was supposed to fix anything else. I use ADW Launcher EX so I dont know how it plays with TW.

Contacts with AT&T Sync

Does this rom have to contacts application that tries to contact the AT&T servers to synchronized your contacts (I cannot recall the full name, something like AT&T Contact Sync or so) as well as the YellowPages (YP) as the first contact?

Can you start the wifi tethering off the settings menu or do you have to use extended menu if you are not provisioned for tethering?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Dirtburgler:
Read once, read twice, read it again, Answer is on the first post...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] romracer:
I believe the Contacts app does that. I didn't modify it. But I just canceled it and never saw it again. You don't have to accept it. No Yellow Pages thing though unless you install the bloat addon, because I ripped YP out (YellowPages are for old people ;)).

Tethering works however you want to enable it.

The gallery app lets you pick full size wallpapers. Other launchers will use it fine, but Samsung disabled the scrolling functionality in their TW Launcher even though the wallpaper is full size. I've fixed it though in Alien ICS 7.1.

I don't know, maybe. Its not a huge priority though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] romracer:
Uploaded Alien ICS build #7.1. This adds scrolling wallpaper support to TW launcher as well as any third party launchers that support it. No-wipe update zip is available for those already on build 7.

I went to McDonalds today and the AT&T hotspot (Wifi) would not connect? It gave the message "Authentication failed". I've not run into this problem before. Has anyone else been able to connect to AT&T Wifi hotspots? I'll try to check aother locations tomorrow to see if it was just that isolated location or not. Regular Wifi connections work fine and the AT&T Hotspot service is running on the phone, it just wouldn't "Authenticate".

The good news is (knock on wood), my Email (stock) program has been working fine since the trouble on the first day. I'm hoping it was just taking time to set up all the connections and will be fine from here on out (fingers crossed). Everything else, so far, is great.

**Edit**

I tried the hotspot at another McDonalds today and it connected to the Wifi just fine. I guess it was just that one particular location that had trouble. Everything else is still working great. I increased my battery life greatly by turning off "data" while I am at work (it is a weak connection and I can't use it during work anyway).

Are you getting the message from the download attempt or from the ROM installing?

You shouldn't be getting a message about anything "update" related if you are using CWM to install the ROM correctly per instructions. Make sure you are chosing "install from zip" and not "update from zip" in CWM.

In settings/sound/volume when the ringtone volume is changed it does not "stick". It resets back to where it started every time. This is a known bug in UCLD2.

I saw this rom supports boot animation, does it also support boot sound? I can't get mine to play my startup sound. I put it in the /system/etc folder but it doesn't work.

Installed exactly as described coming from GB. Only anonymity I have come across is the the corporate policy for the screen lock is not being enforced, that may have been noted already. Some might call it a feature. I am resigned to no BLN until source so I plan to make this my daily driver if the battery life is acceptable. Buy you a beer on Friday when I get paid if I am still running it.

I was wondering if it worked on the I727R (rogers skyrocket)?

As well , does this have BLN support, I don't know if that would be an 'extra' or a 'feature' itself, as it was not listed in the log.

Any rogers users that have or are using this ROM, let me know if there were any hangups or issues with it.

Sorry about that guys. The version I uploaded was not the same as what's on my SD card.

To make up for it, I've uploaded 7.2 update. It's flashable over build 7 or 7.1. Includes AOSP lockscreen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] romracer:
Sorry, I haven't been to McDonald's in ages since they started renovating all the ones by my office. I'm not sure why it wouldn't work though, unless its a problem with UCLD2 in general. I noticed weirdness sometimes with GB even at AT&T hotspots though. A very long time ago, I worked for the company that powers those, so I wouldn't be surprised if its just flaky in some locations ;)

Sorry, hadn't noticed. I'll see if I can look into it, but like the other guy said, do you really go into settings each time to change the ringer volume? ;)

Bypassing Exchange policies is listed in the features... Granted, its towards the bottom of the list.

I don't know. I address this question in the OP in the FAQ section :) But, I believe it works fine as some people have told me unofficially. I think you'll need to add your APN though.

I just recently had my skyrocket replaced from the at&t warranty center and was going to try and stay with official updates only. I went about a week with the 2.3.6 stock rom and the craptastic battery life it provides till I decided to upgrade to the ICS leak available.

Then I figured while I was doing that I might as well root it and what the heck might as well try a custom rom for the first time. So far I am extremely happy with this rom, I have had no problems what so ever. In fact my phone seems faster and more responsive then on the stock rom, plus not having all that bloatware is great as well.

The custom boot animation in place of the at&t one is awesome as well.

I don't see what all the hype about instagram is. But, I wanted to chime in and at least post here that it does work with this rom. Another + for using RomRacer's rom. Sean's work is fabulous and most of the reported issues are user error but people there are complaining about Instagram not working on either of his roms or the stock leak. So, for whatever reason, it does work on this rom. I don't use it so I don't know about other roms. I just decided to test it.
