Success

Huge thanks to SeanZ for making it damn near painless on getting the whole thing done. As I said in an earlier post I'm still in the "learning" phase, coming from moto flashing and rom work into the realm of Odin and sammy stuffs. Needless to say the transition between the two is a damn near vertical cliff, nonetheless I'm happy to report that the flash went flawless, and she's purring like a kitten for me.

Only thing I cant figure out, unless it's a mod I need to flash, is where to find the lockscreen choices, and the launcher settings for the TWlauncher. Not sure if the flash didnt take or what, so any light on that would be helpful. Not as a "do it for me" type thing, just more of a "hmm, let's go thread searching"

Oh yeah one more thing, since I've seen it asked a couple times, I'm here in phoenix and I flashed the new RUXLF3 radio and I've had no issues, started right up with no extra things I had to do (other than the stock browser, which a switch to chrome fixed it)

Don't use lcd lcdmodder, it will just send you into boot loop. Grab rom toolbox lite(free) and just edit the density in the build prop tweaks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steviemac12:
As I understand everything I've read, the kernels in the OP are Base agnostic (unless specified) correct?

I am making sure, as I am thinking of trying Cymbaline from Mohan. Has anyone else tried his kernel? Vincom?

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ElBeaner:
On the first Page, the stock modded ucle2 kernel is cymbaline. It will let you do things like overclocking and undervolting.

I used it for a time, but I felt it used up battery faster. That was my experience, but I didn't mess with the undervolting aspect.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] seanzscreams:
Nah that's just baseline e2 I didn't include any cymb stuff in here

Titanium backup has an option for you to create your own flash able zip for it. Settings create update. Zip. It will be in the root of your internal sd. Then flash it right after your nonwipe or maybe even after your base and it'll be there when you started up again.

Update 4B running smooth so far. Prolly gonna drop the UXCLF3 radio soon. It's not the best in the Virginia Beach and Norfolk area.

This is the kinder, gentler SkyICS thread and I like it. Everyone can feel and share the love.

Edit after a few hours: wifi takes 10-15 seconds to connect for some reason. No issues with any other connectivity whatsoever. I'm on the att Gmail version with no extra kernels or anything else. NOT a complaint, just some info. This ROM is the real deal. God bless America and Uncle SeanZ.

4B Is running amazing Sean! I also flashed the F5 Kernal and Radio and speeds/signal is incredible here in Maine!

Thanks a ton.

EDIT: If you can implement a wallpaper fix for us like in 4.2E that would be amazing.

Wallpaper scrolling is bogus, fixed wallpapers are tons better.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ItsDon:
Running 4b for an hour or so and everything except Facebook sync seems to work well. I went into Accounts and Sync and added the FB sync for both FB and Social Hub and forced both to sync but still cant get the FB pictures to update. I rebooted, cleared caches but that didn't work either. I noticed on page one there is a download for Social Hub parts, do I need to install that?

Was really happy to see the Sean added the 'fix' in 4B, just wish I could figure out how to enable it.

Flashed r2 base last night and 4.5 update this morning (Sean you are a machine!). Ran AnTuTu and got 6026. Then flashed the new Cymbaline 1.4. No lag at all! Clocked to 1650 using SmartAss gov and reran AnTuTu = 6969! It's a very stable combo with this rom. Now we'll see about battery...

EDIT: As expected, the o/c'd proc limits battery (duh). Considering the extra power used, though, battery is still pretty good. I'll try reducing cpu on same kernel to compare battery.

WiFi Icon

From time to time, the WiFi icon is not filled in with blue curved bars even though my connection is excellent. I have to manually turn WiFi off, then on for the icon's bars to reflect real life. Anyone else?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mazlin:
Question.

I typically fix permissions in CWM prior to reboot after doing updates, but the instructions in the OP say to do it on ROM Manager after reboot.

Is it OK to do that or is rebooting first a critical step? I want to be sure the perceived efficiency odd not creating issues.

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mimart7:
After you flash, don't fix permissions in cwm, do it in rom manager. You'll need to odin or flash the touch recovery, afterwards.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mazlin:
not sure I follow. I am on CWM touch. Just trying to figure out if fixing permission is doing something different in recovery mode versus post reboot in ROM manager. Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mimart7:
Repairing permissions in recovery really doesn't do that much, when compared to doing in rom manager. Your less likely to have issues, such as fc's, etc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vwyankee:
Okay. As said, wasn't sure just how much work it would be to implement something like JKay. It was on the ROM's I used for my GSII before getting the Skyrocket so I wasn't sure if porting it over for use with Skyrockets was a difficult process.

Also, I was looking back on the 4.2E-17 thread change logs to try and determine when you had set the bypass of Exchange PIN lock requirements but couldn't find it as I'm guessing it was part of the many change log entries that just stated something to the effect of "removed some more crap." :)

I really don't mind reflashing so it's not a big deal but more of a "will I know by the change log?" when it's implemented in this one. I'm perfectly fine with reading and searching. I'm amused at those that say search is bad in the XDA app as if it's that difficult to hit the menu/option button and open it in a browser on the phone and use the advanced search available there to search the thread.

I will look into Moxier since I haven't in some time but I'm guessing I'll still prefer all the features and integration with the stock Email/Exchange. I fall back using Enhanced Email occassionally when I get too annoyed at my screen coming on without my intentions. It's one of the things with ICS that I've been very surprised about - in a bad way. Why they moved away from how it operated in GB, I don't know. Even if you had PIN lock set with 30 minutes before locking you still had a swipe unlock screen in place so you couldn't turn the screen on by accident by bumping the power button.

Another thing to add that I'm simply surprised at the official release being incomplete in areas. Maybe Rogers doesn't care as much? Maybe that's why AT&T is taking so long? The auto-fit browser pages doesn't work properly and Exchange OOO Email auto reply can't be modified as just a couple things that I've experienced.

I check 'em all and none have failed. Suggest you re-download and re-check.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] giant420:
I think you are fine with the 4.5B update. It is 90MB, so I cant imagine you needing both.

I just finished downloading BTW, so I will let you know how it goes in about 5 minutes. :good:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ElBeaner:
Yeah has been happening to me since the 4.2e rom. Nothing big, you are still connected to wifi, just doesn't show you signal strength or traffic.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Sean, first of all, awesome work, man! I'm not sure what's stock exactly on this ROM, but there are a lot of features I frankly didn't expect to find at all! And it is super crazy Skyrocket FAST too! Not able to comment on battery yet as I fell asleep with my phone in the CWM Recovery menu overnight and really drained the battery and I just got to finish charging it.

I very recently came from a Sprint E4GT and Calkulin's ROMs. Now I have this Skyrocket on AT&T, which, less the notification LED is almost identical but with a faster processor and more built-in storage.

I tried the 4.2E-17-ish install and had a boot-loop issue where the boot animation would randomly stop in different places and the phone would reboot. So I went to download everything again b/c I actually think I had a corrupted download and may have been d/l when the links were taken down or something. Didn't MD5 check though. The next attempt had the second white Android logo boot looping. So I reverted to stock until I could learn/read more.

So I am running your SKY ICS 4.2F-3.5A and plan to update to the latest after work tonight. I wanted to ask about the following issues/changes, and haven't seen solutions to these after quick reading all 18 thread pages. Sorry if I missed any of these:

Is there a way to turn off the camera shutter sounds? On Calk's ROMs I would delete something like shutter.ogg from the system media folder...

If I use the power button menu to select Recovery, the phone acts like it's going to reboot, but then hangs with a black screen and the capacitive touch button lights on steady. I have to long-press power to turn the phone off and then use volume up/dn and power to get back to CWM Touch Recovery. If I use my Reboot Widget and select Recovery from that, I can reboot to CWM Touch Recovery perfectly. Is this a known issue?

I can't seem to update BusyBox... it tells me I have v1.19.3-cm9 installed to /system/xbin and that v1.19.4 is available. When I try to install this, I get an error message stating "It looks like BB is installed, but does not appear to be the version that you selected to have installled, blah, blah, try a different location". What could this be?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mazlin:
Is there any value to the old ZMods directory or V-6 Supercharger anymore? The only thing I was really keeping it for was v-6 Supercharger, but it does not seem like that is really useful anymore given what Seanzscreams is doing these days now that we have a Kernel to fiddle with.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ReedX50v:
Click the settings icon in the camera app (a picture of a gear). Swipe down and there is an option to turn the shutter sound off.

Your other problems sound like a bad a flash. I would do a full wipe and fresh install when you update.

EDIT: Also, Mohan's kernal v1.4 is working great for me. My favorite governers are badass and SmartassV2. I think the deadline i/o scheduler is better than cfq as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bps119:
1. Camera shutter sounds can be turned off in camera settings.

2. How long are you waiting for it to take you to recovery? I have about a 40 second lag sometimes where the phone sits exactly like yours, but it always jumps into recovery for me.

3. Try updating BusyBox in the market. I'm running 1.20.1 and it installed perfectly. I didn't update it before installing once and had the same issue you're having it sounds like.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Jrockttu:
That means that your download is incomplete.

The MD5 checksum is calculated on each end, based on algorithms. If the files are identical, they will return the same MD5. This means that if you check the MD5 on your computer or phone (ALWAYS check it on your phone, in the location you'll install it from, before flashing anything) it should match what's listed at the download location.

If your MD5 ever does not match Dev-host, download again until it does.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dhalker:
quick question

I am in the Houston area, running the 4.5 update. I have been playing with the different Radios and Kernals.

first i was on the stock kernal (or whatever kernal in the base update) with the UCLF5 Radio and getting awesome signal. I just flashed the modded UCLF5 kernal and now it is jumping grom LTE to3G.

Has anyone else had this problem? i couldnt find anything about it with a search.

or what kernal/radio combos are working best for you?:confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Chouie:
Hi,

First off, great job. Love the work you do. Second, I just flashed the rogers base, everything works fine, but why is the "phone" app at&t's phone app. Voicemail leads you to at&t's voicemail window. Contact settings has at&t contact sync settings. Is there a way to get the rogers one back?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Blairware:
Things move fast around here

Man... this morning I nodded off and found a new update upon awaking. Sean Z = Robot. This thing is like a snowball, and I am indeed reading the whole thread (Vincom's Sig said read the Op, and the Op says read whole damn thread) Even Vincom missed a beat:

" if the answer been posted then i missed it and i didnt follow my sig "​

I am testing to find a perfect ROM/Kernel/Radio combo. Does it make sense to keep Kernel/Radio versions together? For example:

UXCLF3 Radio & Kernel (modded or stock) and

UCLF5 Radio & Kernel (modded or stock)

I realize this is not like RIL and Radio, and it's obvious that mix & match works and is functional or we would be hearing about it. But is it being overly anal to keep 'em together? I LIKE that Sean is cannibalizing he latest leak for choice bits for this ROM, I was getting weary of the bloat and finding room for sounds etc. Besides, the Touch Key lights are NOT fixed on the leak.

Is the add-on "Social Hub Parts" still significant, or did it get wrapped into one of the updates, does anyone know?

To Sean or anyone in the community who can give me an answer. I was wondering if the kernel(s) used still have the MMC_CAP_ERASE issue leading to the brick. I'm new to this whole thing lol. I see various kernels listed and I would love to flash the rom but I'm still worried about that brick as Source Code for ICS (to my knowledge hasn't been released). I've tried to search about the bug w/ very mixed ideas on causes / things to worry about so I figured I'd ask the Dev and/or the community about the kernels listed. Thanks for your time!

Sent from my soon to be rooted I727
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ElBeaner:
You can do pretty much what you want on kernel/radio combos.

I'm running the F5 kernel with the E2 radio and found it offers the best of both worlds(for me) in terms of battery performance and signal strength(dl/ul speeds)

F5 radio showed promise at home(slightly higher DL speeds), but at work E2 radio blew it out of the water. Since I'm on wifi at home, I opted for the higher mobile speeds while at work.

How is battery life on latest release. Thinking about quitting AOKP as it drains my battery in 7 hours , with moderate use. If this has good battery life, I may forget my TW issues and flash it.

Also, I checked out the link you gave and it said NOTE: THIS WILL REPLACE YOUR /system/lib/modules with a symlink to kernel modules (Please see revert section).

Only the modded UCLE2 by mohan has the brick problem fixed for this rom. The cyanogen/aokp rom's kernels have it fixed as well I believe.

If you flash the mohan kernel, you have to flash his revert before you can use another kernel.. only takes a few seconds.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Mike:
Im planning on wiping with Darkside Super Wipe and on the Dark Side thread it staes "It WILL NOT wipe SD CARD or EMMC... After it is complete with format and earse, it will align all disks partitions properly. This is a great tool to flash right before installing any new ROM on your device. No need to worry if you have wiped properly. Let the script do it for you! ENJOY!" Does this mean even if a kernel was persay affected and the same with my EMMC chip I still wouldn't have anything to worry about when wiping because Dark Side doesnt wipe the EMMC?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Jack45:

While I don't have the specific answer for your question I will let you in on the fact that all the leak builds that Sean gave us would not work if Darkside SuperWipe was used at all in the flash process. I used it once my first time going to an ICS ROM that required it from GB but on Seans ROM's I've never used it and haven't had any issues - the majority of others will say the same.
