[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] petrochemicals:
Are we really going to get an RC or did someone mistype and put Skyrocket after Samsung Galaxy SII on AT&T? As we all know the SGS II on AT&T is the i777, which is listed on the RC page.

http://www.cyanogenmod.com/blog/cyanogenmod-9-rc2

If you look at the times of the 7/19 builds from Zeus descending all the way to Anzu you can see it does appear as if they are done building the RC2 and the Skyrocket is not listed.

http://get.cm/?type=RC

CM also says that the Note on AT&T is supported for this round of RC's but that is not listed either. So maybe there is hope for the Skyrocket.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cschmitt:
They aren't building in alphabetical order, goober. Hercules just built after zeusc. Guess we wait and see, but hopeful.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dakpluto:
They just built the Hercules RC2 build, which didn't have RC either before. So they are not done building, and I would expect the Skyrocket soon. Cynagenmod is normally not the type to make the n00b mistake of confusing the SII and Skyrocket.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] inertiamonster:
RC2 is up as of a few minutes ago, I'm downloading it now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cschmitt:
RC2 Lives!: http://get.cm/get/39G

Edit: inertiamonster, you beat me to it, by seconds I'm guessing :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] carrett:
Can I flash this the same way I've been flashing nightlies (wipe system, install rom + gapps, wipe cache)?

--

Every hour my servant takes my temperature and gives me another.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dakpluto:
Should be able too, and that's more steps than needed anyways. You can just flash CM9 and wipe cache/d.cache. The install saves your g.apps for you and wipes system.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] inertiamonster:
Just flash it and wipe cache, you don't have to wipe system every time with CM updates as long as you're not going from one version to another, like 9 to 10.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Locoman_:
RC2? OMG.. OMG.. OMG! -Nobody beside you folks understand how excited I am :)

.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ItsDon:
Just flashed straight over Experimental build - everything seems fine so far. I haven't given it a thorough workout but did run through most screens, no FC's and is quite fast. Will keep beating on it and report back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cschmitt:
And, this means we can finally begin filling formal bug reports here: http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/list
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] petrochemicals:
RC2 fixed nothing. This is exactly the same as the nightlies.

Camcorder effects still do not work on 720p and 1080p.

Camera FC's when changing from panorama to camera sometimes.

Stock keyboard still does vibrate all of the time.

DSP manager still makes music worse instead of better.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Locoman_:
I don't mean to sound rude but the issues you have are not mine. Never use camcorder effects, dislike vibrating keyboard/stock keyboard (swiftkey 3 rocks) and dsp always makes music worse imhop.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dakpluto:
RC2 fixed the fact that you can now submit errors. So don't mean to sound rude either, but *****ing here won't do much, go submit the issue to the bug tracker so they know and can work on it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] petrochemicals:
Not sure why everyone thinks that pointing out bugs is "*****ing". Do you think that there might be other people who would like to know if these things were fixed or still exist in the RC2? That maybe it could be helpful for some to know about these bugs and help make a choice if they want to flash it or not. With so many people saying how "perfect" the nightlies are all the time, maybe having real information about what is still broken could be useful.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sk8trix:
So far release 2 is running a bit smoother mainly seeing differences when I benchmark but otherwise this rom is great I'm so glad we have a rc2 now anyone else notice anything different?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cschmitt:
It's not *****ing and now that we can utilize the formal bug tracker they should get some attention.

Edit: So you're opening bug reports on these, correct?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dakpluto:
It's not the complaints that is the *****ing, it's the way they are presented to us. "RC2 fixed nothing" No, it may not have fixed the issues that concerned you, but that doesn't mean it didn't fix anything. It's *****ing because you come off like the CM9 team sits on their ass and does nothing because they didn't address what is honestly low scale issues to the general public.

Telling us for the 500th time they are broken doesn't help either. Point is we were trying to point you in the direction that can actually do something about it. And if people want to find the bugs, they should go to the bug tracker, not trying to search through 120+ pages.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ItsDon:
A little OT here (perhaps we NEED a little OT at the moment :)) but a lot of Jelly Bean stuff is filtering out in the Play store. I'm currently running the JB Keyboard (which vibrates reliably BTW) and the SGS3 Dandelion LWP. Both are super smooth on RC2 with minimal battery impact.

OK, we can now resume our pre-scheduled *****fest :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] epapsiou:
video playback

My only gripe is CM9 sucks at video playback. Tried using different video player from play store but always have issues with MKV files.

SO going back to stock. The native stock player plays all format w/o any issue

I guess it is the driver issue
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] petrochemicals:
Please let me know what the RC fixed then. As all bugs that were in the nightlys are still present in the RC2. Frankly you are reading into a simple statement too much. Why you take it so personally, I am not sure, as it is just a phone. Maybe you should calm down.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Deliberate:
What is the difference between rc2 and nightlies?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xPXGx:
Bug reporting works now. Every time you boot, it sends a report to CM.

Has anyone noticed the transparent flashing status bar once inawhile?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] toyfj2k7:
Is anyone else's status bar clock froze on rc2? Plus my time stamps are off one text messages .
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sk8trix:
its the kernel causing it use anothe version of the kernel 5.1,5.2 or 5.3 I on 5.3 no issues
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ItsDon:
Just checked and my status bar clock is fine and so are my sms time stamps. I'd suggest you clear caches and fix permissions.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] seanci:
Thanks that fixed it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Ivizoid:
I followed the steps to update from 07/16/2012 Nightly to RC2 and mine got is stuck on boot, it doesn't get further than Cyd logo with awesome background, haha.

*Edit: Fixed, looks like I required that darkswipe.zip
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] seanci:
Wipe and install again would be my guess
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] BaconStep:
did you use the directions in the op?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] toyfj2k7:
I tried that right after I posted and it worked. Thanks for the tip :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] :
You always come off like a pompous *mod edit* like your issues are the only issues that's why we take it personally just like your attacks on designgears. You think your entitled we do this work on our time without expecting pay I have seen you complain about the same things multiple times. If you want it fixed report it to the bug tracker with a logcat and wait or sync the source code and learn how to fix it.

Cheers
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] BaconStep:
List of things you can do

1. Create a bug report

2. Send a log cat

3. Ask one of the devs about it

4. Keep it to yourself
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ossito2012:
Loco is right, hey Petro try using some higher quality music files ripped at higher bit rates or use a different lossless format i.e. flac or if you are streaming Pandora etc. make sure streaming is set to high quality, it will make a world of a difference. Also invest a bit of $$ in some really nice headphones. Short of putting in some serious DAC processors no phone or tablet will give a true audiophile experience. Stock keyboard really isn't very good with or without vibrate, swiftkey 3 is my choice too. good luck
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] boobah204:
Or 5: use another ROM. SkyICS is pretty popular.

(Though I personally recommend nexusM0D)

Sent from my part of the problem
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ItsDon:
You guys should really check out the Jelly Bean keyboard in the Play store (free). I was a die hard SwiftKey 3 user as well but the new keyboard has far better voice typing and a very good next word prediction (like SwiftKey3). It's easier on the battery as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] droid512:
I use dark ice themed Swype it's baller and certainly allows for vibrate on press

CM9 Skyrocket
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kennethpenn:
Reminder:

Profanity is not allowed on XDA. Entitled attitudes are also not welcome. No one deserves any of the ROM work done here. Statements like "RC2 fixed nothing" come off as immature and whiney. Be respectful.​
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] whosgotlag:
So do I want to download the RC2 or the nightly that fixed something right after it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] UZ7:
Nightlies are automated so it will automatically compile a build that has all the fixes for that day so while we're in RC2 status the nightly released will also have the same fixes if there were additional fixes within that time frame of release then the nightly will have additional fixes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ItsDon:
I personally prefer to use the RC releases since they've been tested by actual humans. I'll do a nightly once a bunch of other folks have flashed it and reported good results.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] whosgotlag:
Do I have a reputation too?!?

Anyway, here (changelog for CM9) it shows "fix missing trailing slash that was causing emmc and external_sd zips to not show up" as a change for the next nightly. Those not showing up sounds pretty serious, but again, I don't know what I'm talking about so is this a change to wait for or should I just flash RC2.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cschmitt:
The bootable recovery changes dont really effect the rom builds as they are kernel and system only. Unless you're building the recovery you won't see them.

I'd just flash the latest 0719 build, RC2 is really just a milestone build.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] whosgotlag:
Thanks, had no idea what I was looking at.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] yamahakid:
i do the same thing, atleast on my skyrocket i do. i try to keep my xoom and my captivate as up to date on the nightlies as possible too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sk8trix:
Ive been flashing this phone alot so far its super solid as far as my s3 idk yet.....its great but battrry life w cuatom roms and kernels is still an issue
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rwelsh09:
Question

Is the latest nightly the same as RC2 but with fixes, improvements etc.?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Dismal Shadow:
This had been stated many times, RC provides stability to the public in compare to nightly whereas nightly continues to provide bugfixes for testing purposes and reporting bugs before the next RC or beta.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silence12782:
Not sure if this is a fix or a preference but a couple people including myself would like to be able to send long text messages. Perhaps one of you geniuses can figure something out for us texting fans. :o
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] whosgotlag:
I'm on the nightly immediately after RC2, and the email app is completely messed up. I try and open it, and it exits immediately, and I get "Exchange Services" + "Email" has stopped working flashed on the screen several times.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] boobah204:
This happened to me after trying cm10. I formatted system partition and flashed gapps again to fix it but your circumstances may be different

Sent from my part of the problem
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] whosgotlag:
I shall definitely try that. If you don't mind, what exactly is contained in the system partition. Aren't ALL apps there? Or just the gapps.

So that just maybe screwed up my phone.. Samsung logo pops up then goes black
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] boobah204:
You can check in root explorer. Most of the apps you really care about keeping are either in /data/app and will remain okay or they are gapps and the data will still be in data partition

Oh, sorry flash the nightly again after you format the system. If you leave data alone you should still have your data

Sent from my part of the problem
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] whosgotlag:
Oh, damnit. I feel dumb. I thought that part wouldn't be erased. Also wipe the cache afterwards like according to chopsticks install guide?

Thank you!

Can I install cm9-rc2 over latest nightly or do I need to full wipe? Is it worth it I mean is it better the rc2?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] UZ7:
Think of nightlies as constant updates and RC2 as close to being done aka "Release Candidate" or like in AOKP as milestones, they're just labeled as RC because they think its good enough for release but doesn't mean its 100% stable quality, may need some testings etc... They can have as many as RC3 or RC4 depending on how many updates they put on before release and yes you can install RC2 over nightlies and vice verse :good: just note that nighties can introduce other issues so if you're the type of person who only updates once in a while or only the more stable versions then I would stick with the RCs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] badpanda:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Jake1220:
Not sure if this has been addressed already...but I've noticed 1 issue since flashing this latest rom. NFC is not working. I have checked all settings. I even flashed the RC2 build but nothing on there either. I restored to an aokp backup and NFC works fine on there.

Is this a kernel issue? Anyone have a fix or a different kernel to try?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dr_latino999:
I'm heading to an LTE rich area today, what is the icon in CM9 displays when connected? Or is there a display somewhere in settings to verify it's successfully connecting to LTE?

I'm used to seeing H which I assume is 4G, 3G for 3G, and E for Edge.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] whosgotlag:
You'll see a 4G. Touchwiz puts LTE over it I believe.

H is HPSA+ which is technically different then 4g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Captivasion:
Let me start by saying, I love me some CM9. But I recently was a little disappointed when I purchased a micro usb to usb adapter off amazon and plugged my flash drive into it and and the phone displayed a notification, "SD card safe to remove" (btw I'm not sure why it refers to a flash drive as an SD card, but it does). When I went into my file explorer it wouldn't display any of the files in /mnt/usbdisk/, so I went into Settings->Storage and under USB Storage it gave me the option to "Mount SD card" but when I clicked it it would just refresh the notification "SD card safe to remove."

The problem was that my flash drive was formatted as NTFS and when I reformatted it as Fat32 it worked fine. Reformatting my flash drive is no big deal but my external hard drive is formatted as NTFS and I don't want to and can't reformat it since I don't have another hard drive, external or otherwise, big enough to hold all of its data, but would like to be able to connect it to my phone.

I know that this is not a limitation of android, since my transformer prime can read NTFS just fine. Does anyone know whether this is a problem with the skyrocket, our CM9, or just CM9 in general? If it's not a problem with the skyrocket, does anyone know if other roms can read NTFS? Although, I don't think I would leave CM9 for another rom even if it did lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dxwilliams40:
I will try some different kernel combination with rc 2. I lost 50% battery overnight in about 6 hours while idle.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] breeves002:
LTE it says 4G, HSPA + is H, HSDPA/HSUPA is 3G and edge is E
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] BStinsonWhadup:
Based on the assumption you have a computer, why exactly do you want to plug the hard drive directly into the phone? If you're really stuck on doing it this way, you can read up on this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1724078

Perhaps anyone who has tried different kernels can report back if they support NTFS. It appears the stock kernel for CM9 does not, based on what you are saying...and i'm not about to flash my microsd card to test it :P
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ajt1995:
I flashed this ROM, and now I'm stuck at the awesome cyanogenmod 9 boot animation....

What do I need to do?

I've tried to flash a different version and have already gone back to my stock rom through a nandroid backup. (twice)

I really want this to work, any help would be greatly appreciated.

(yes, I wiped cache and factory reset)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] droid512:
Most likely you need to.use darksides super cache wipe or upgrade your recovery to a more modern touch version like sk8s version of cwm or twrp

That's my guess

Also when you wipe "cache and data" are you doing it by going to mounts and format, cache, system, and data?

CM9 Skyrocket
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ajt1995:
To that last bit....

No, should I?

This is how I flash CM9 successfully coming from SKY-ICS rom with UCLF2 radio (no need to flash ICS radio since I already have it).

Using ClockworkMod TOUCH 5.5.0.4 v4.3, I made a Nandroid back up first, then:

1. Wipe data/factory reset.

2. Format /system (mounts and storage->format /system).

3. Install the CM9 zip from SD card. (external card)

4. Install the gapps zip from SD card. (external card)

5. Format /cache (mounts and storage->format /cache)

6. Reboot.

7. Restore my back up data, apps, and APN.

8. Reboot

I'm very please with this change compared to the touchwiz based roms. Very lightweight, vanilla like, minimal processes...
