[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Heeter:
Hi All,

I have a 727R that I have setup with Touch CWM & Superlite 5.1 ICS ROM.

I do have a couple of questions concerning my setup.

1- Is there a way that I can replace the ATT address book with the default ICS contacts?

2- I have A full version of titanium backup with a folder full of apps from another device that I would like to import into this one. Where do I put that folder for titanium backup to load and recognize?

3- Can I change the phone dialer to the stock ICS too?

4- Why wont ROM manager recognize the CWM touch that I have installed?

Thanks

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] RabidSmurf:
Ditch SKY ICS and get an AOSP based rom like CM9, Chimaira, or AOKP. That would solve #1 and #3, personally I hate touchwiz at least the skyrocket version of it (My friend has an S3 and that version looks interesting). SKY ICS is a damn good rom but I personally just prefer AOSP, clean, fast, and simple. No added samsung, rogers, or AT&T bloat.

If you do decide to to get an AOSP based rom, you should check out Boobah's mod as one of the many things it lets you do is use inverted gApps (Will fix the ugly white blue colour scheme). Just don't use inverted google talk, it's broken.

Not sure on your other two questions.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Heeter:
Hi Rabidsmurf,

I would am dumping the touchwiz rom and going cm9 as we speak. I am just annoyed that the 4G icon doesn't work on the aosp, aokp roms that I have tried so far.

Heeter
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] RabidSmurf:
Yeah, annoying but a small sacrifice, you could try AOKP or Chimaira, both supposed to be excellent ROMS, they are based on CM9 and will have the same bugs, not sure if they have a 4G icon or not.

Grab one of the CM9 nightlies instead of the Alpha5, it has some extra fixes:

http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=skyrocket&type=nightly

I am using the July 2nd 2012 nightly currently, have not tried the more recent ones.

Since you're going AOSP (master race), you may also want to give Instigators Kernel a look see... supposedly it saves battery, I haven't noticed.

It did break my camera though (A common issue) so you will probably want to try a version 2.8 or earlier (Maybe one of the stable ones), that did not have the problem. I am on 3.2.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Heeter:
Awesome Rabidsmurf, thanks for all this.

Both the Chimera and the AOKP have the 3G icon bug.

Downloading a nightly now.....

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] RabidSmurf:
No problem, also don't forget about Boobah's mod I linked you earlier (AROMAKoK) it's seriously awesome, and you can use it to customize your ROM after you flash it.

I also reflashed to the UCLE2 radio earlier today the one on CM9's page with the RIL libraries, seems a bit more stable:

ADB Fastshell​

version 0.9b​

View attachment 1248775

This is a Windows Batch file which should make your work with ADB much, much easier and faster.

It contains ALL of the basic operations with ADB which you'll ever need.

Logcat? Check!

Push files? Check!

Pull files? Check!

Shell Emulator? Check!

Install files to system folders even if your kernel have ro.secure=1? Check! (but you'll need root though :) )

And there is feature I call Smartshell - it lets you do basic operations with only drag&drop!

If you d&d file called "boot.img" on Fastshell file - it will flash this file as a kernel to your phone.

If you d&d file called "install.apk" on Fastshell file - it will install this file as applicaton without wiping application data.

If you d&d file with any but these name - it will push this file to phone.

For full reference, read help.

But don't use the backup feature as a full backup. It only lets you fast-restore system in case you flashed, for example, broken framework-res.apk. If you wipe your /system and restore this - it won't work.

In future I'll do the full-working backup with Busybox installation.

That's all!

Wondering if anybody feels that this flashing roms thing got annoying and at some point you realize al you do is flash romsinstead of using your phone for serious matters? Do not flame, I like flashing roms too, I was just feeling may be at some point it is no fun anymore? i'd like to see what you guys think. Share your thoughts
[Galaxy S III General] darshanmatharu:
Really phone after phone I only do is flash Rom restore data, settings etc.mostly the phone remains unexplored.I think my phones run a Rom maximum for 3 days and minimum for few hours.it's really useless once you get a good get a good Rom,but one keeps on flashing I don't know what we achieve.but may be we do to kill time.
[Galaxy S III General] adamhill212:
Flash Addict

I, for a period of time, was flashing approx 1-2 roms per day on my HTC Sensation. Before I went to work I would have a look what for something new and if it wasn't doing it for me, (or if I was bored) would flash another when I got home. Since getting the S3 though have only flashed 4 different roms, mainly due to the fact that I am happy with Omega. Damn you Omega Team for stopping my flashing addiction!
[Galaxy S III General] danarama:
On the bus, on the sofa, on the toilet... Its always fun if you're doing it for the right reasons.
[Galaxy S III General] dasistsparta:
Lol
[Galaxy S III General] danarama:
What I mean is if you're frantically flashing roms trying to find one that fixes xxx issue, then its annoying. If you are being adventurous for more functionality or for a just for a change, its always fun.
[Galaxy S III General] cmd512:
As long as you freeze/uninstall the useless crap, stock ROMs run great since the SGS2. So, I haven't bothered with custom ROMs since SGS1. Most of the flashing nowadays is trying out the various kernels and messing with my init.d file.

You're right though, I've actually spent more time using the phone than constantly messing with the settings... not necessarily a bad thing. :)
[Galaxy S III General] dasistsparta:
With the gs3, I think the stock rom is just perfect. Devs are good but there always is some issue which makes them post an update every week. I am new though, maybe I am not the right person to talk about this
[Galaxy S III General] Kiahnlliya:
This is exactly why a little over a year ago I went from the original Galaxy S to iPhone 4. I was trying everything out, it became almost like an addiction. Yeah, that sounds a bit stupid, but I really felt it was like addiction.

I spent hours every night flashing, restoring, flashing and again restoring. I hardly got the phone set up the way I liked it before I flashed again. It started to feel like I was just flashing ROMs all the time and not really using my phone for anything else. So I got really exhausted in the end and thought I'd try iOS - a platform notorious for its limitations when it comes to customizations.

I think the year I spent with my iPhone did me good. I realized that it's more valuable (for me) to set up the phone, tweak the things that need tweaking and then just USE it, with akin to a "If it ain't broken, don't fix it" attitude.

I often told friends and relatives when they asked for my opinion about the iPhone that it was the most reliable phone I have ever used. I could always rely on it to do the stuff I needed it to do when I needed it. Later on I started to reflect over this and came to the conclusion that the phone or the OS really isn't more reliable than Android at all. Android was unreliable for me because I was always messing with it. It was me, not the phone or the OS.

So now I have given my iPhone to the wifey and have my SGS III, and sure I have tried ROMs, I have tried 5 or 6 of them I think. Now I have found one that I really like, it looks nice, it does what I want it to do, battery seems fine, I really have no complaints. Now I just have to steer clear of the "grass is greener on the other side" mentality.

With that said, I today saw that nitr8 is bringing his Insanity ROM to the SGS III, and Insanity was one of my favorite ROMs on my SGS1, so yeah I'm tempted to try it, and I probably will do that at some point. But I don't feel like I have to, because the ROM I have now and the way I have set it up really works for me.

I'm just hoping the feeling will last this time... :silly:
[Galaxy S III General] danarama:
Its just all about the little tweaks.
[Galaxy S III General] lude219:
I did that with the OG touch diamond and the holy grail of Rom flashing, the HD2. Now that I'm alittle older and wiser since then, I scaled back a lot with the S3 and would only go as far as rooting the stock Rom, flash a kernel or radio, and editing build.prop.....for now, at least:p
[Galaxy S III General] norpan111:
I was a junkie with my HTC hero and hd2, I got only s2 because of how great many roms in would flash.. With s3 i have only flashed it once... And I'm happy.. All though I'm addicted to always check xda for updates everytime I get a chance..

The one rom i flashed was cm9 0701 experimental and it's been treating me great. Don't use all features of touchwiz and to be honest it feels more stable and smooth with a experimental build of cm9 then it ever did with touchwiz lol.

My addiction is over :) finally

I was a rom junky at one point;guess I was a phone junky too from the g1 to mytouch slide to hd2 to g2 to g2x to sgs2...flashing and restoring constantly it seemed. Just trying to find that perfect rom/phone combination to make all my wildest dreams come true lol now I'm on a Hercules aosop rom wondering if the sgs3 is worth getting
[Galaxy S III General] Simonetti2011:
I do flash lots of ROMs, but I am quite glad with Samsung's stock ROMs (works for me, as long as I can keep root between flashes).

I flash a new ROM everytime a ROM with a higher CL # is released.
[Galaxy S III General] souljasteve84:
Addicted to flashing !!

from my htc incredible s, htc one x , acer a500 iconia tab and now my samsung galaxy s 3 i have always flashed my phones from first day of purchase.

the browsing through xda became a regular thing for me, looking for that rom that catches my attention, i always look for stable, fast and nice themed roms with tweaks, at some point i was flashing my phones 2 to 4 times a day lol

i dont know why but it was a sense of exploring, being able to rip a stock out and making it into something that is more for you.

my wife obviously dont understand so she gets the ****s when i purchase a brand new phone and straight away mod the **** out of it lol

the way i see it, purchasing a smartphone comes stock which is restricting and customizing it is limited !!

so flashing a custom rom is opening it up to change things to your preference.

i absolutely hate iphones, they are dull and so restricted and basically all the same, you know one iphone u know em all.

Android rocks and iphones can burn like they do !!!
[Galaxy S III General] Kingybear:
Yeah I'm the same, I flashed Omega when i 1st got my phone because it was the only custom rom and loved it. I have flashed a few roms but always went back to Omega.

The only thing I flash religiously is siyah kernel updates.
[Galaxy S III General] dasistsparta:
Btw what is so special about omega? It seems to me all stock...
[Galaxy S III General] davidaga:
I think it's addictive and becomes a main use should be used as a smart phone

Go into the US galaxy s III forums and tell them you're tired of flashing roms..see the reaction you get. LMAO I'm sure any one of them would kill to have as many choices as we have
[Galaxy S III General] knights.JayTana:
Thats why my SIII and most of Android is more like a toy rather than a tool for me... i always tinker my phone when i have nothing to do and always have iPhone as backup when im not doing it right.
[General Questions and Answers] adriandude85:
So my Dinc (running the OTA ROM from November on wildstang 2.6.35.13 kernel) syncs forever. At the startup it goes through the usual, powers on, prepares SD card, prepares phone memory, and does its syncing. The thing is, this goes on FOREVER, literally for hours. The only way to stop it is to go into the settings and cancel the sync. Any ideas?

Hi everyone. I'm NOT here to ask for the invitation. I'm just asking if there's Android Phone user who have the apk file for SCOPE /Social Scope ver. 0.9.18. Because I'm using a Galaxy Tab 2 and Google Play Store did not allow me to update to the newest version (I'm currently using the. 0.9.14) because it said that my device is just incompatible.

Thank you in advance. :)

Change your dpi to 240 then try again

If it works download then go back to previous dpi
[Android Apps and Games] 7drlclk:
Ummm.. I can't find the ro.sf.lcd_density on my build.prop.

Also I read that changing the dpi on ICS may causing a bootloop. Is there any other safe solution than changing the dpi?
[Android Apps and Games] AgentCherryColla:
Use ROM Toolbox to change the DPI, it's in the build.prop tweaks. Also no, changing the DPI is fine on ICS. Just don't change it to 100, stay within 160-300* (*280 on some devices).
[Android Apps and Games] 7drlclk:
Nope! Still can't find the ro.sf.lcd_density on the ROM Toolbox. I've searched through the build.prop editor also, there's no such like ro.sf.lcd in there.

Is it because I'm still using the stock ROM?
[Android Apps and Games] 7drlclk:
Nevermind! Got the file :)

I just ask my friend to install the app to his phone and get the apk file from his phone.

If there's anyone need the apk for the newest ver of Scope you can just pm me. :)
[Android Apps and Games] ayysir:
if you dont see the lcd density line in build prop then type it in manually

Flashing recovery from an app is always risky. This issue is not isolated to the One V. It's always better to flash from hboot.

[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
As i always say, for noobs, but kids/AOSP lovers or TW haters! :o

Again, a BIG thanks to sammobile.com for leaking this ROM 24 hours early. Great effort guys.

(I am missing those people who were supposed to pass over them) :o

• Usually phone calls were of no problem. Sound is solid in both earpiece and speaker.

Noise Reduction feature is back, and i love it. :good:

• Vibration intensity is solid as it was.

• All connectivity works. WiFi, 3G/H+, Bluetooth etc.

• Swype is present as it should and version is 3.26.92Q

• Is it me only or the 1080P mkv files are running smoother than before!! :good:

• TW launcher does have the loop Home screen option, and as well in App drawer.

• Internet Browser- Well it has been changed, all over smoothness is better than previous ROM. Nice. The address loading bar is changed it's color from green to Sky blue and a little bit thicker as well! :good:

• Jeez! Can you guys see an option to Refresh a web page?? I can't!

• Call logs STILL don't categorise numbers! Uff!

• Vibrate option changed it's name to Mute. Lol. And the Vibrate icon is changed in Status bar.

• The icons in Notification bar (Application update, any other notifications etc) is no more big ones but they are small like as they were in GB.

• The Lockscreen notification is changed. Now Missed call and SMS are indicated under two separate circles and their background is transparent, unlike in previous ROM it was Red. :good:

• The scrolling bar is changed. Previously it would appear in a different grid with it the long vertical line and green colored, but now it is well merged, small and doesn't stay on any vertical line. :good:

• The Task Manager writing is now BIG and fills up the whole screen area horizontally. What's the point?

• The settings menu (which appears when you press menu button) is changed. It appears in a white and a little big icon sets. See screenshot.

• As it is mentioned many times before, Contacts in now there under phone dialer. :good:

• There is an option to set battery status to show as percentage in Status bar.

• There is an option to have a little vibrate when a call is connected. :good:

• There is a new option i am noticing, under Display you'd see a 'Help Text' option!

• The font 'Rosemary' is now added under main fonts.

• Connection with desktop is working fine as it always did.

• So far, haven't noticed any specific bugs, or any apps are not opening or something like that.

The OVERALL smoothness and scrolling is good, even with the stock kernel. So it's definitely worth upgrading.

No root yet! So I'll upload a video tomorrow, if a root kernel appears.

Now if I have missed any point which you've found OR misstated anything please reply below.

Regards.
