Ok I have posted about this nobody has said anything i really like the ics on screen soft keys and cm9 themes Support them and change them is three away to get them on the nightly builds I've look and look went to work got home and look some more does anyone have any Insight I really like them I used them so much on the last ROM I used I even forgot the placement of the skyrocket keys is it something that there going to add or if there is a fishable zip for them I've been waiting for cm9 this will be a big let down for me if i can't get them :-)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rpr69:
I easily get 16+ hours on battery, if you do what I said above. I got over 24 the other day when I forgot to plug it in overnight.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] chinthekng:
With medium or heavy usage
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rpr69:
I'm not exactly sure what you are asking, if it's about themes, there are tons of them in the Play store, just search for CM9 or AOKP themes.

If it's about the soft keys, I can't even fathom why you would want them when there are physical buttons right there. I think there was a patch for Sky ICS but I have no interest in it so I can't help you figure it out.

---------- Post added at 09:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:49 PM ----------

Right now I am at 15h 34m on battery, 1h 13m on screen, probably medium usage for me, Gmail email, Exchange Email, xda browsing (multiple times :) ), some Solitaire, a few phone calls, with 23% left, but I didn't reboot this morning so there is an extra 4.5h of non-deep sleep time, so really I should probably be over 40% right now. I also have a Nexus 2100 battery, but even without that I'd still have lots of battery left. The tweaks make a huge difference. Before I did that, I would barely make it 8 hours, even with the big battery.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] chinthekng:
What tweaks are you talking about
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rpr69:
I forget where I found the tips (it was a post here, can't find the original) but this is the post:

1) Droidwall, without question my most useful app. Only applications that I WANT to connect to Internet can. It takes some configuring, but is well worth it.

2) I don't have any automatic email sync, which some of u may, so this probably helps. I just manually sync when I want to, no time sensitive emails for me.

3) Likewise with point 2, i have no active sync of any app really, including Google Talk, or Google+.

4) My favourite power saving app, Lux Auto Brightness. It allows you to custom set brightness levels in various lighting. It again, takes a bit of initial setup, but is worth gold when it's done. I have it set to adjust on phone wake.

5) Goes without question I'm using the ucle2 modem, best ics modem the skyrocket has at this time, for at & t and rogers

6) Under settings > performance, I've underclocked to 192 min and 1188 max, with on demand. I've noticed no performance hit, and it sticks after boot, even though if u got back into the menu the values seem to have reset. I check with cpuspy.

7) Disable surface dithering and enable 16bit transparency, that seems to have increased smoothness without sacrificing display quality.

8) Obvious one, under settings > developer, mke sure force gpu rendering is set to enable, and both Windows and Transition animation scale values are set to 0.5.

I don't use Droidwall, but I've done most of the others. The biggest thing is making sure the phone goes into deep sleep when you aren't using it. CPU Spy and Better Battery Stats will help you figure out if it's not, and hopefully why. I've found that after charging overnight there is usually a kernel wake lock being held on USB which prevents it from going into deep sleep. A reboot will clear it. If it doesn't go into deep sleep, you will chew through more than 10% per hour. With deep sleep, you will use less than 1% per hour when not in use, in my experience.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bps119:
Sounds like you need to go into the phone app and clear data. I had a problem with one of my other system apps on the SKY ICS ROM, someone mentioned that I might have some old data from another ROM flash and, once I did that, BAM! battery issues fixed. it's also possible that you got a bad download...Idk, might be worth clearing the data from the phone app though, certainly can't hurt anything.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tykune21:
This is what i mean the themes support them buy changing them along with everything else the themes change. my worry is getting them with this ROM. and if they will still change with the themes. i got this bigger screen phone so i could get them. just wanting true ics feel and the case i use to protract my phone covers them buttons at bottom of phone i work allot so i always have case on phone it would just help me out in the long run i think i already have that zip your talking do u think it would work

I think those may have been icenight89's tips from the Team Chopsticks CM9 thread? Thanks for reproducing tho!

Also as a side note, I was able to use the ltemobile.apn with Sky ICS without issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lpfansether:
Experimental is the same as nightly 6-14. If you don't feel like risking installing nightlies, the experimental builds are usually alpha/beta milestones(the equivalent of the team chopsticks alpha releases) and should be relatively safe.

I would switch over to the builds direct from the cyanogenmod for nightlies though if you're going to try those.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] onearmedscissor:
The experimental one is the team chopsticks alpha 5 version actually
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mauix:
Maybe I'm blind, is there no default/system file explorer in this ROM?

Also, /sdcard and /mnt/sdcard point to the same content, as well as /emmc and /mnt/emmc. What's the deal?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] onearmedscissor:
No file explorer besides terminal emulator afaik.

aren't the sd cards like that on all roms?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] denenatse:
That's ICS, instead of throwing the _eternalSD in your internal SD directory, ICS divides them into their own directory. emmc= internal SD, SD= external SD. mnt is just a Linux type command, that you don't really need to write.

After a couple days use: no camera functionality, sound way to quiet and Volume + only makes it metallic sounding, no syncs (I realize these have been posted previously), Rogers APN's required fiddling with. Battery was alright (a little more drain) antenna was alright (I have no LTE to test), other then that, everything works fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Three333:
(1) I've had zero issues with the camera.

(2) No issues with the sound nor the volume control

(3) What's not syncing?

(4) My APN settings have worked straight away

Which build did you end up installing? Did you wipe before installing?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rnaplus:

I have to say everything except the stock camera app is working fantastically for me. The battery got zapped overnight on the first charge, but it's holding up nicely now. I'm on the UCL2 radio and have better signal strength in general than before.

Don't do it! Just delete all the files.

Not sure if you have to worry about it, but I wouldn't risk the brick bug.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Firreath:
It works :)

So I downloaded this ROM about two days ago (it took me this long to get it to let me register,) and It works amazingly. All of the bugs that I read on previous posts on their blog have been fixed from what I have seen. Also for anyone having an issue installing it remember to wipe your system that fixed my issue. :) Thanks for this amazing ROM.

Indeed it is, but still no different than nightly 6-14. And expect all milestones on the cm website to be labeled experimental until they decide to bump it up to release candidate then stable.

sadly no when i checked camcorder effects were still messed up i dont usually use the stock keyboard but when i tried it out i didnt find anything wrong with vibration. you should probably test the keyboard more but since i dont use it i cant say anything on it

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Suminderji:
I'm sorry if this has been answered but this is my first time having an official Cyanogen port - for the nightlies can I do that through ROM manager or do I have to flash with CWM recovery every single time?

I know with other phones its done through ROM manager but since there is a huge warning not to use ROM manager in the OP I'm just a bit confused.

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] BaconStep:
Don't use rom manager. Like at all. Just flash through cwm until koush fixes the bug with rom manager
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] chinthekng:
DONT DO IT THROUGH ROM MANAGER!!!!! listen to the op just keep flashing them through cwm you dont have to wipe data just format system, flash nightly (and gapps if you want), wipe cache and reboot

EDIT: looks like Bacon beat me to it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] projectvirtue:
did the new nightly fix the 160 char limit on the SMS? or will i need to stick to alpha 4 for the time being until that gets rolled out again

this was working for me in alpha5?

Thank you... Ill just wait.

maybe in the OP that txt that says DON'T do it should be <H2>
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cschmitt:
Don't format system, just flash the update-- the update script formats system for you, but after it backs up gapps, then it restores them after extracting the update.

If you format system before flashing that breaks the backup and restore function.

Yes, wipe dalvik and cache.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mrsexypants:
i was just in a txt and i pressed the attachment icon and chose capture photo it restarted my phone anyone else have this issue?

I had a similar issue

While in a text and selected to Capture Picture, I got an error that it couldn't connect to the camera. A second try worked flawless. But no phone reboot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Suminderji:
Well I read that, I wasn't sure once you actually got CM9 on, the nightlies would go smoothly from ROM manager or it would be the same issue. Regardless I'm happy with minimal issues.

Ok Ok... lol

So I tested everything with him and so far he loves it, everything seems to be working, I had him test things as much as possible in this short time.

1 issue..

NO LTE

I did a quick search in this thread and it seems he needs to enter some sort of information, something about an APN number???

That being said, I don't know anything about this, I have the t-mobile GSII and no LTE..

Can someone be a pal and explain what to do?

I did have him make a recovery before he started this, JUST IN CASE

Thanks all

---------- Post added at 11:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:58 PM ----------

OK I found these settings

Had him set exactly what is in there to the T

Had him reboot

His signal was normally only 1 bar but his speed test showed about 8-10 down and about 3-4 up.

I'm assuming this is LTE?

6/18 nightly

Anyone have problems with screen rotation?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cschmitt:
Really, dark side does pretty much the exact same thing as any rom install script: a recursive delete of /system followed by a format of /system.

Unless you're attempting to recover from some serious partition issues (botched rom flash, etc.) then just flash the CM9 zip followed by a factory reset (only the first time, to clear /data and /cache), or a dalvik-cache wipe (when flashing a new nightly over an existing.) That's all that is necessary.

Also, wiping /system prior to flashing a nightly upgrade breaks CM9's backup and restore of add ons (such a gapps.)

from boot loop to stuck on start cm9 logo

Trying to find commonality for those of us who are getting boot loop error or even getting stuck at the animated cm9 logo. My CMW version is 5.0.2.7. I tried flashing from 2 different ROMS: DJ ICS Plus V2.0 and NexusMod GB 4.3

I followed the steps from the team chopsticks install guide for CM9 for Hercules and Skyrocket. Radio worked after reboot.

-Flashed 3x and both times I got nothing but Samsung logo and reboot loop.

but... after observing the darkside wipe install, I noticed the installation aborted not sure what that was doing.

-Flashed 4th time without doing darkside wipe and I made it too the CM9 logo but it reboot before it started animation, then would only get to samsung logo again before reboot.

-Flashed the 5th time following steps from Senior Member Topprorespect

Format /data, Format /cache, Format /system, Install CM9 zip, Install gapps ZIP, reboot.

Now things got interesting because I made it all the way to animated CM9 logo :eek: (I was about to scream for joy) but it just got stuck there, I even let it run at the animated logo for 5 minutes. :(

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25593789&postcount=276

Thankfully, I was able to restore no problem to my GB backup.

I will try the steps at beginning of "this" thread instead of Team Chopsticks webpage and will also try and upgrade my cwm to 5.8.4.3 and I will report back here how it goes.

Good Luck.

Is your CWM a touch recovery? If not, I'd start with that, 5.8.1.3 (I think that's the version) has worked great for me. I see the OP lists non-touch recoveries, but I've read other people saying that touch recovery fixed issues like this.
