Love the ROM. Only problem I've had is that when I Try to use Amazon mp3 it says I have to change the language. So I go to the language and input section and it says English Canada. I then try to change it to English US but it won't let me. Any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mmessina:
I had that same issue. Nothing would work even reformat, fix permission or new sdcard . Many fixes suggested, the only one that worked for me was, Relishing the flash CWM as a zip. (ODIN didn't work) this has been posted B4.

The paid version doesn't work for me. It was a combination of that and i cheated on Seanz and flashed another ROM.

The grass is definitely not greener.

Make sure you check the md5 on your downloads to ensure they're complete.

Use TOUCH clockwork to flash (dont see this in op, but it was required on Sean's other roms, so worth a shot)

As others recently mentioned, fix permissions! Fix them anytime you flash or restore something. Fix them ASAP after base flash, after update flash, and after restoring any apps with tibu.

You are seeing the ucle2 modem under "Baseband", and ucle2 kernel under "Kernel". The Rom is under "Build Number". If you want to update either the Kernel or modem, download them individually in the OP and flash them seperately.

Has anyone tried all three base ROMs that are available? I would love some feedback to help me decide which to try. My time only allows me to flash every so often since my phone is my work phone and I would like to choose a base ROM but first know what each one is all about.

Any help with this?

Is there a way to adjust the steps of the brightness settings in the notification bar toggle? Ideally I'd like just three (Dim for night) (Auto) (Full Bright for daytime.) Currently there are too many steps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] LPMatt:
When I flashed the new base, the busybox included was not up to date (1.9). It should be fine to use it, though. I updated from play store and installed latest busybox -no problems.

The scan before installing enables you to customize some of the install, which is not recommended unless you really know what you're doing. I've noticed no difference in installing without the scan and waiting for the scan and not making changes. Either will work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Blairware:
Soooo good.

Loving this official based work of art. I WAS going to hang back a bit and let Sean work on this for a few more days (hours in Sean years, LOL) But I was only fooling myself. The PC was wispering to me during the night: come of... flassshhh it. you know you want to... flassshhh it. LOL. Anyway, I like the idea of "A" & "B" updates to distiguish between a fresh base install update, and a no wipe update update. Seems completely logical, but we forget when you are a noob you have already had your head turned around three times with ODIN flashing, Rooting etc., Then you hit this thread and... just saying. I get as weary and annoyed as anyone with the same questions constantly, let's just try and be patient, point them back to the op, and help clarify when needed. We were all noobs once (I was last week); now I know everything... NOT! :silly:

Edit: Question. Do most folks use Busybox's "Smart Install" feature? I have for a while now, but not exactly comforted by the language of the warning: "Some binaries should NOT be replaced and doing so an effect the political stability of western society etc., but then goes on to talk about

tweaking

settings, which I do NOT do? Thoughts on this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] LPMatt:
Open QuickPanel settings (in your drawer) and scroll all the way down. There's an option for choosing your brightness increments.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] LPMatt:
Just addressed this in another post. The only advantage I can see to wait for the smart install scan would be if you are tweaking it. Installing without smart install should be the same as installing without making changes to the binaries. Please correct me if this is not so.

Any advice as to which of the three Base ROMs to use?

Does anyone know what is the difference between each of them?

Sorry to keep on asking but I read every post in the entire thread and I couldn't find any definite answer that could help me decide which base ROM to use.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Blairware:
That seems logical, and is pretty much how I envisioned it. Assuming no one steps up to say otherwise, I will go back to installing without smart install. If nothing else, I should be less likely to get into trouble that way, as traditionally that was the only option for a long time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Datron:
Please stop pasting this question every few hours man. NOT trying to be combative at all. There is no concise, detailed analysis of each rom version. Review the OP and change log. They're all pretty similar. The speed versions have some differences. If you have time to constantly read the thread and re post this question, you have time to flash and review the updates.

Again, I'm not trying to be a jerk. The info you requested simply doesn't exist. Please feel free to flash them all and create this report for other users in the same boat. Cheers.

Simply replying while I get chances during work. I can't flash out here. Can't risk missing job assignments, which are texted, emailed, and phoned. I just want to go home in the afternoon decided on which ROM ill use. Everyone is replying with how good this ROM is but most don't even mention which of the three they are using.

I know there are others with similar questions but are afraid to ask.

A few words to explain each one would really help many lean towards one BASE ROM or another.

It is not often that we are offered THREE DIFFERENT ROMS AT THE SAME TIME. We usually get the typical STOCK EMAIL or GOOGLE EMAIL where both are really the same BASE.

But thanks for your reply.

Tec Tiles

Let me apologize upfront for going a bit off-topic. Has anyone played around with the Samsung Branded NFC Tags? I think it's awesome that Samsung is embracing the technology (and pathetic that the carriers are, if anything hampering efforts to bring it alive). I have explored a few threads and seen some interesting application of the technology, and I figured I would grab a 5-pack or read/write capable tags. Anyone tested NFC function on the Rogers ICS based ROMs yet?

As the other post stated, as of now there are no such statistics, and if folks wanted to offer a high level overview of the differences, they probably would have replied by this point. You can see the basic differences of course, in the OP, and the speed kernels seem to bring on some undesirable effects such as running hot etc., though even those are getting better. Unfortunately, it looks like you will need to either a) Take a bunch of time and do multiple flashes/testing or b) just make an "educated guess" based on what you know to date, and flash that choice. Do a nandroid before deciding on either path, so ultimately you can go any way you want. While it

would

be great to have some statistical analysis of the ROM, this is probably not going to happen unless, as was suggested, you take on the task for others. We are a self serve community.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Datron:
What do you need from a ROM? You can narrow your choices by answering that question. Do you use ATT or Rogers? That cuts your choices in half.

Then, do you require a "speedy" ROM? If so, choose the speed version. That's good for gaming and other heavier tasks you might require of the phone. I personally never needed a speed rom.

If you need a regular ROM, how do you access your email? Gmail specific? Or do you wanna get kinky and play with exchange servers - use the stock email?

Answering those simple questions will define which ROM you should choose. They're all pretty much similar. It just depends what you require.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] RaudelJr:
I just realized by your reply that Rogers is a Carrier Company. I thought Rogers was a higher end phone and that an extracted ROGERS ROM was being offered on this thread modified to fit the skyrocket. Thus, with my ignorance, I was thinking by using the ROGERS ROM I would be using a higher end ROM.

Boy am I glad you cleared this up for me!

I know I sound stupid, and others are going to read this and say, this guy is an idiot. But it is what it is, I'm not missing a nut in the head, I simply had no idea of a Rogers Carrier. Now I understand the first post that says (delware...I mean...Delaware) it was meant to be funny.

Having that said, Rogers is out of the question for me. I'll decide on stock or speedy now.

Thanks for your reply.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Blairware:
Saw all the trouble you had last night and I have a question: When you went back to base & did Rom Manager, CWM, Recovery install: Did you just get the basic recovery, or the TOUCH recovery? It may not matter, but for all the Leak based ROMs Sean needed us to use TOUCH Recovery. Either the one you can get with ROM Manager, (I believe 5.8.1.3 or the 5.5.0.4 v4.2 (latest from sk8erwitskil, and the ONLY recovery I use since when I last checked Sean and Mohan both used it. If you were using the non-touch version, well I am not sure how it could effect you but I have read of some fairly odd behaviors stemming from using the wrong recovery.

If you want the 5.5.0.4 v4.2 - here's a link. He makes it with versions using multiple installation methods. 1.) As an Odin Flash, 2.) As a manual install (Push with ADB) , 3.) and my preferred method: as a clockwork flash-able zip file (how cool is THAT?)

All of this may be moot if suddenly touch version is no longer required (I have not heard anything to that effect) but after the HUGE amount of wiping, formatting and re-flashing, I figure you are willing to work for perfection. Folks can correct me if I am wrong about touch requirement, or you can let me know if you were using it to begin with. By the way, i777 is supposed to have official "any day now" - yeah, I know, don't hold your breath, but they actually did have a test version FOTA last week, so that sounds pretty close.

Not at all, I get 6 times that number in Antutu. Mostly graphics is the bottleneck? Do you have any developer options on such as force GPU rendering?

For those wanting write-able NFC tags, the actual Samsung branded ones (not a requirement, but pricing is no worse than others) and they are brand name, not eBay Eddie Brand: http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ETC-TT1G6NGSTA
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Datron:
Yes, off topic. I too am very interested in NFC. I haven't really researched in within XDA. If you search on Amazon for "Samsung ETC-TT1G6NGSTA TecTile Programmable NFC Tags" and read the customer review, they highlight some pretty cumbersome limitations, which is unfortunate.

I wonder if SeanZ knows anything about NFC and could include it in the future? My guess is that NFC isn't popular enough to warrant his time.

Gonna do some NFC tag reading right now.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] nrhpd527:
I just ran Antutu and got a 6660, with XDA (and I am sure other programs) running in the background. Thus, I highly doubt it is the ROM causing your issue. It could be a variety of reasons, such as a bad SD card, or maybe your last flash of the relevant updates went bad. I would reflash the update and run Antutu again.

Sounds like something is still not right. I know you stated that you have done the OP steps over and over and over again with no luck and I am thinking that you are trying too hard. Give it a rest for a day and try one more time. And make absolutely certain that you have

A big HEAD'S UP because I don't think this news has made the rounds yet, and I found out the hard way. Rom manager now offers recovery 5.8.

4,

.3. This is BAD. It won't read your sd card and has numerous other problems. So don't flash a recovery with ROM manager. You can still find 5.8.1.3 to Odin here in development and 5.5.0.4 is fine too. But if you find out you are using 5.8.4.3, don't do anything with it. It will clean your SDs squeaky without so much as a titanium backup to fall back on. Go straight to Odin and get 5.8.1.3 or 5.5.0.4.

ok i am going to help ya with a few things on the phone

all the teathering works and the wifi direct between my compuiter and my android tablet if fricken amazing

so wifi teathering is easy turn it put a password (if ya want ) use as a wifi no problem

so now you are having a problem with USB teathering and i see it alot there is actually alot of drivers that go into a computer for teathering via USB modem serial CDC and set up of the remote NDIS network device phone driver itself

now here is the kicker 80% of the people out there cannot hooik up it is all because of no driver

solution you say

simple all the driver are in the samsungs new kies software so go to there site download kies install it fully first when it is installed and done then plug in your phone NOT BEFORE

plug it in and let it find the drivers for the phone first once it is done you can go to menu/settings/more/teathering and portable hot spots put a checkmark in the usb and you will see it again installing drivers for the CDC seral and NDIS once it is done you can do check device manger and see it will all be there ..

then also you can go to the bottom icon for you internet on your computer right click and choose netwok connections when that comes up left side network adapters choose that and on you computer you will see say a new connection for your samsung phone ta da

well i hope this helps you that are having a problem with the teather simple solution thats to samsung and kies
