so this may be a question that cannot be answered yet but ill ask it anyways. Once it finally boots are we all good to go? Or will that just be the tip of the iceberg and stuff like data gps and wifi still wont work yet?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] BaconStep:
I would imagine that stuff won't work.

What bacon said > the other forums I've been reading all have the same issues. It boots, calls work on some models (but no audio, so do they really work?), no BT, no GPS
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] BaconStep:
AFAIK the other phones don't have it completely working.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rebel1699:
Just the tip of the iceberg. I have read all the port threads and the biggest issue I have seen so far is getting wifi loaded. I noticed randomblame got wlan0 up iconia a500, but still was not communicating. While I imagine our devs will get this booting, most functions will be very limited until the source is dropped later this month. What they are doing now is mainly the ground work for when that occurs, imho. Glad they are proactive here. Will save much time later.

Sean, noticing that in your SkyIce 4.2F R1 (RUXLF3) Rom, it contains the bintvoutservice under /system/bin which does not exist in the Alpha jelly. Noticed it missing in your dmesg as well. Was this just overlooked, or is it not needed at all? Is it kernel built, or can it be transferred right into the rom?

That's true but only half of the story. Consider: where Google is concerned, they have only to GAIN from more availability of new (or any) Android builds. It's market share. It's "number of handsets" comparable to "Number of desktops" in PC speak. Yes, they foot the development costs, but to make additional hardware compatible is minor compared to the over all development costs.

Samsung on the other hand has little to nothing to gain by spending money to support hardware they don't manufacture or sell anymore. All those whining about how Samsung just doesn't WANT to support our S or SII are missing a huge point: Why the hell SHOULD THEY? So you DON'T have to buy a new phone? I ask you, is that smart business?

I truly do not get the entitlement mentality that goes with this kind of expectation. Now the CARRIERS are a different story, and they are right bastards for not doing more, incuding PAYING the phone manufacturers to update to current software versions.

Why the differentiation? Because Sammy makes money ONCE: when they sell the device. That's it. The Carriers make money, usually 24 months per sale. And yes, they analyse the whole damn thing to the penny of how they will make money, all by enticing us (in the US, if not internationally anyway) by teasing us with the shiny new

subsidised

phone. THEY owe us, and instead of helping, they add complexity and delay into an already time sensitive process.

Let's see: I feel an analogy coming on. Scroll down, quick! Ther's still time! Okay, too late: So Ford comes out with new engine management software, that drastically reduces fuel consumption, while increasing power, and so on. On the new model. Owners of the previous model cry fowl: Why aren't WE getting an upgrade to the new software? Uhm... because you didn't PAY for it? Now if the auto industry used Open software, and there was a forum for enthusiasts, at least folks could get that new software via ingenuity and a supportive community, and how great would THAT be.... but alas, while there are care clubs, and they do bring a lot to the table, few reach the level of XDA-Developers for adding value to hardware. They are more break-fix and add-on modify than re-engineer, whereas XDA responds to every short-coming, and "Help, I think I bricked it"

See how truly blessed we are here? Now stop the whining, and the blaming, and get on with the creating, and the fixing.:cyclops:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] JeffroTull:
Well said. Plus, and I know it's been briefly touched on before, it's a simple matter of supply and demand. If there were enough of us out there who would stop buying Samsung phones because they refused to upgrade the software on previous models that absolutely have the hardware capacity to run it, they would do it. But as someone earlier said, most of the masses just run carrier versions of android, don't know any different, and when their phone gets too bloated and slows down, they just buy the next bigger and better model. The only way to correct this is to educate our 'less in the loop' friends and family. Probably a pipe dream though!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Fortune090:
Been slowly trying to do that with all my friends and family. If it's an android phone and they complain with how slow it's running, I tell them that it's possible to fix it, and show them some of the process, lol.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] prbassplayer:
My 2 cents. Although it can be considered "bad business" to keep you devices upgraded there is a balance there. I don't always expect updates but if you release a device it should receive some support to a point. I was bummed when i897 wasn't getting ICS but it was a device nearing end of life and investing development cycles to getting it running with TW was a waste. That being said Skyrocket isn't even a year old and sucks its getting (might, no official word from Samsung yet) cut already. That being said it sucks and all but consider this. JB comes out officially in mid july (I assume Samsung already has access to the SDK's and what not, but for the sake of argument July) at least 6 months (and that's giving a very optimistic dev cycle) to get 4.1 with TW all working relatively bug free. Add to that the whole debacle with AT&T add 2 more months means you would get release at best January-april that's roughly 18 months in to the devices life. Not saying it won't happen just that JB came out to late.

That being said this thread is turning more in to Samsung topic and not JB. Lets be careful on the post (me included) ;)

Cheers
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ActionMax09:
They should support their old devices because what will happen is plenty of people will leave and find another phone. Perhaps an HTC or an iPhone and I am sure Samsung doesnr want to lose customers.

Therefore it is smarter for Samsung to give us "jellybean" then make us buy a new phone.

Sorry to post off topic, but I had to pop your thanks cherry for this mentality of yours. If only everybody thought like you.

On topic- jelly bean will be awesome, can't wait. I wonder if project butter will make android tablets "feel" better. I had a Xoom and Transformer Prime when both were released. I returned them both because 1) the apps scale poorly, lazy on behalf of developers and 2) as much as I hate Apple and love Google, my iPad 2 feels so much smoother just using it. It's the nature of ios, and I don't notice it on a phone, but man is it noticeable on the tablets. I hope butter fixes this so I can finally get rid of this POS iPad.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rebel1699:
Argh!!! Don't know if it helps, but I was able to toggle the CheckJNI to On. Still getting the same old error on boot though. The annoying Libcore/net/RawSocket keeps rolling through the logcat.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rebel1699:
Ran through them all for a quick test. Kernel 3 has adb, but will allow no input. "adb shell reboot" resulted in Operation not permitted. "adb shell dmesg" resulted as klogclt:Operation not permitted.

Kernel 2 completely broke adb. No input or output.

Kernel 1 restores adb and general input, but is throwing the same logcat errors, resulting in the same bootloop. No change at all from the original kernel. EDIT: adb reboot is no longer allowed. Also cannot write to setprop using - setprop dalvik.vm.checkinj true

It puts out no errors, but is not effective, either.

Ok, getting closer to getting my brain wrapped around the issue. (This is me typing out loud). The libc fatal signal 11 is caused due to the fact that dalvikvm cant be reached. So, it is a "Low virtual memory" issue causing the libc error? Which in turn, is causing the bootloop?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] seanzscreams:
hmm that does make sense

but how to increase the alotted amount at boot

build.prop

or init.d is my guess

ill look into it

and stick with kernel 1

ive replaced lib c and removed its sdk depencies as well

no luck

i also have another version ill upload thats built solely on the sdk

that version you have was built on cm9
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rebel1699:
I thought it was CM9. I was thinking of trying AOKP too. From looking at the logcat, could we decompile the JB framework.jar to get to the libcore/net/RawSocket.smali and check it against the ICS version for a possible fix? I had noticed in the logcat, the requested Ljava, and candidate Sjava. I'm just shooting wild here.

Edit: Not sure which .jar this particular .smali will reside in. Any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] KangKilla:

IM betting I'm core.jar or core juni or services or fw.jar
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rebel1699:
You are correct. I had found it. Man, some serious differences there. Thought about switching the entire core.jar, just to see what would happen. Se if it, or something else would throw some errors.

Hope this part helps...

The JB version of RawSockets.smali has several lines that differ from ICS version. Here are a few-

.field private final mProtocolType:S

# direct methods

.method public constructor <init>(Ljava/lang/String;S)V

As opposed to the ICS version-

# direct methods

.method public constructor <init>(Ljava/lang/String;)V The ICS also does not have the ".field private final mProtocolType:S" line at all. Like I said, not sure if it means anything at all. Just the "S" caught my eye, since the logcat reported requesting "L" and the Consideration was "S" before it fails.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] seanzscreams:
Have you tried replacing just raw sockets and recompiling
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rebel1699:
Not yet. Just edited the JB RawSockets to not have the "S" in all instances. If that does not work, I will remove the static field and try again. If that fails, I will sub the ICS RawSockets in place of the JB.

Recompiled. Will try to load momentarilly.

Ok, the libcore/net/RawSocket error is now gone. But as you guessed, it has moved to another. I guess I will keep editing them till I get a lock screen. Right now, the new error is in org/apache/harmony/xnet/provider/jsse/nativecrypto I'll track it down now.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dakpluto:
I can answer why real easy. One of the number one things in smart Business is that initial sales are good, but retention is everything. The reason you offer continuing service after the initial sale is so people will come back to you when ready to purchase new. If I believe a company is gonna drop support soon after purchase, I'm very unlikely to continue purchasing from that company. The number that Apple loves most over android is retention. I saw a study before that showed apple had like a 85% retention while android was in the 50-60% range. It's always been the main reason apple makes insane money. People who buy apple almost always continue to buy Apple.

The reason Sammy should really consider bringing JB to the Skyrocket is so people will believe Sammy will provide nice long support when they hit upgrade time again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] BaconStep:
Samsung isn't going to bring jellybean to anything of the galaxy s2 line. End of story.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] whosgotlag:
While your argument makes sense, people like the OS not the retention rate and that is a much higher effect on people's choice then support.

I don't even want Samsung to do it, they still haven't released ICS. It's pathetic
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] prbassplayer:
You guys blame the lack of ICS on Samsung but if the T989 got it its likely ATT's fault
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] BaconStep:
It is at&t's fault
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] whosgotlag:
It doesn't really matter who it goes through. The fact is Jellybean is almost out and our phones have yet to receive official ICS. Whomever's fault it is, it's still pathetic. If it was official, JB would not hit our devices until the next iteration of Android is announced.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] prbassplayer:
You understand that JB will be released, as a SDK mind you, in mid july right? Even if Samsung had the Beta SDKs (as I assume they did as part of the partnership program) for 6 months they would STILL need to refine and polish it with the finished product. And that's assuming the code hasn't changed much in those 6 months. Your expectations aren't realistic. Will Gnex get JB sooner ya (probably even faster because of the legal pressure) but Google builds it directly for it no waiting for group A to get it far enough to where group B can start modifying it to make it work for other devices. Just my 2 cents and this thread is derailing. Lets stay on topic.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] whosgotlag:
We're both talking about Jellybean.. And I'm saying I don't care about official channels for software, my reason being the ridiculous wait for ICS. Our devs will get it done faster, and I'd rather donate to them.

Edit: I get that you're saying that Google's release schedule should not be a reference frame for when our phones should get updated. But at the same time, it kind of is.
