Welcome back. I never left. The sod threat is too much for me to handle at this point.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] E--Man:
I'm happy I never left and this is my confirmation that I made the right decision. This unreliable/unprofessional Mickey mouse SOD issue is simply unacceptable (NOT SEANZ's fault! Praise...). I'm waiting for the real deal...

I came back this morning when my in call audio mysteriously stopped working on SkyJB. The only thing I will miss: panoramic camera.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Jack45:
I'll probably nandroid my current JB configuration and come back to this for two main reasons:

1. No way to keep touch key lights always on (no 3rd party apps to compensate).

2. No call recording (no 3rd party apps to compensate).

It's possible that the official JB release will permit the above (in addition to preventing SODs). After all, the unofficial ICS lacked features ultimately included in the official release.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jedah:
Isn't panorama under settings->shooting mode in the stock camera? Or are you referring to something else?

I just flashed back to this one last night after trying R4IN's AOKP and SkyJB. I didn't really notice a huge improvement going from Sean's Project Margarine to Project Butter, and Google Now is included in this rom. The JB roms are almost there, but the benefits didn't quite outweigh having everything work on this ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
Yeah panorama is in this as well. Not sure what he was talking about
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] -Graff-:
I just didn't know. I actually found it last night. :)

Battery Life/developers options???

I am using Sky ICS and have a question.....Maybe its a statement or both. But any way I wanted to know if anyone has ever played around in the developers options with this rom? I had never fooled with it before and got curious. So here is what I did, and what happened, and I need to know if there is any reason why I shouldn't be doing it? I opened developers options and have "USB debugging" checked and "allow mock locations" checked, then I scrolled down to the bottom of the options and saw where it said "do not keep activities" it was unchecked, so I put a check mark in the box. Then I saw below that where it said "Limit background processes" and I changed it too "1".. Everything on the phone seems to be working fine>> Phone, Text, Internet, Bluetooth, and so on. What it has done for me is increase my battery live dramatically....I went to bed last night at midnight with a 100% charge, I plugged in my head phones and listened to music all night, I then got up and went to work, used my phone off and on all day for calls, internet, and text (it was a long day) I never plugged it into anything that would charge it. It is now 24 hours after I had charged the phone to 100% and I am at 69% battery. When I go to the task manager I noticed my active applications is empty and when I go to Ram and press clear memory it only closes "1" application.... Does anyone have a clue if this will hurt my phone???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
Mock locations will probably screw up your gps location and allowing only one process kills multitasking. And do not keep activities kills any app after you exit it. Really, you just made a smartphone into an old flip phone that can't do any multitasking. It might start crashing if certain processes need to run and cant because you won't allow more than one process to run.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] nuwan32:
great for battery but horrible for doing anything else. Zero multitasking capability lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sgvalenti:
I've noticed that that the Google Now noifications are not on my notification bar. Could that be becasue of my batter mod?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] malebornin69:
Well I guess I am a super simple guy then, because I guess I never do any multitasking. I only need it to do one thing at a time lol....I havent had any FC in the 4 days I have been running it this way, I haven't missed a call or a text and the internet works when I need it to, it plays music, takes photos, and connects to my car stereo via Bluetooth...I don't use GPS I know where I am going..lol .......So I'm good...........Thank you guys for answering my questions......Peace
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] malebornin69:
This is everything installed on my phone ......Like I said I am a super simple guy .....lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 26.2man:
Please dont boot me for this. I went from OTA ICS to CM10JB and been running CM10 for about 2 months. Everything works OK on the phone except for battery life. Is it worth it to come to this ROM just for that? Im only getting about 10-12 hours with about 2 hours of screen time and very little talk time. I just need some opinions and your experiences.

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
Sure
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] T.J. Bender:
The correct answer is "try it for yourself". Only you can make that call. It's not that hard to jump from one ROM to another, and if you keep a Nandroid of CM10 handy, you can just restore back to it if you end up not liking SkyICS. I can tell you that almost everyone who's used SkyICS has had much better battery life than what you're getting above, but so have most on CM10. Might be something other than your ROM causing a problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 26.2man:
Thanks

I think I will do a full clean out and install CM10 again, I've just been overflashing the nightlies since the beginning of October. Maybe that will make a difference. Like you say its pretty easy to go go back and forth. I've installed BBS and am learning about wavelocks. 'Im trying to learn as much as I can so I am not a pain. Ive gone from a flip phone to flashing a skyrocket in about 4 months. I'll eventually be a senior member and when that happens my status will catch up to my age. I just like to get some opinions from some of you senior guys that have been doing this for a while.

thanks again

thnks, i can even further debloat as i still dont need a few of the apps, then make a backup, then reinstall what i might use. the cool thing is that i'll have a backup that will be my goto rom, as it will be my lean and meaner rom

i further debloated the dragon base i now have 255mb free

but can someone tell me what the how much is free in the system rom, i forgot to look at it b4 i started debloating
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Altarocks:
At one point I remember seeing 202 MB free. I can't recall whether that was before or after I started installing apps.

This happens because the kernel you are using does not support over-clocking. Try Cymbaline 1.5 if you want to OC.

May be a foolish and unhelpful reply to you. But were you not foolish as well, for not following the rules and reading a bit? He stated the truth, live with it and quit putting him down for pointing out your failure to research and read before flashing a ROM.

Dude, nice, thanked! It definitely fixed the black/black text but it also reverted back to the 'scrolling' header version :( Catch 22 I guess. Anyway, given the choice I'll take the legible contacts in the widget, would be nice to have both though. I'll just need to learn how to do what you did but on the Rogers Contact and Phone fix.

Thanks, but I'm actually trying to underclock. I know it's not suppose to support it that's why I'm asking why can I control the minimum cpu but not the maximum cpu. Logic states that if there's no support none of them should work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] marvin02:
More info please. To start:

Which base are you on?

Which cpu control app are you using?

I am underclocking the dragon base using SetCPU with no problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] r3a1ist:
Maybe its just me but I appreciate great developers and am irritated when people are ignorant don't ask questions, don't read the characteristics of what they flash and then think its the responsibility of our beloved developers to waste thier precious time creating flashable calender/calculator files. But it seems this was easily solved with support from other users.

UCLF6 BASE R-3 DRAGON base......and thats it ....I dont use any of the updates because I dont use any of it....... When I took the screen shot I had used the phone more than normal that day, but not much more...its not unusual for me to go all night then all day and all night again with a single battery charge....but that's me, it depends on how much you use your phone. I am a 43 year old business man so I use it when needed....if I was 16 and it was in my hand being used 24/7 I would expect it to use way more battery. I will say that I listen to music all night every night with my headset on. and still get great battery life.

Thanks for the feedback. Im impressed. Im 60 and retired so I have way too much time on my hands and I have become addicted to facebook, twitter, google+ and between my phone and my tablet I've turned into a flashaholic since they have made CM10 so attractive, well except for the battery life. Thanks again for the feedback.

Ok here is an issue I am having with this ROM. I have loaded CWM and have flashsed the ROM. I followed all the directions in the thread for loading the ROM. The problem is that I can't use Root Explorer, Astro, SuperManager, or any file explorer and mount /system to read write. When I try to in all of these programs even the Terminal Emulator it freezes the app. Why would this be? I've wiped and flashed twice, and when I try root checker it tells me that it is rooted. WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON!?!?!?!?!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] daviebeach:
Try TeamWin Recovery. Search the forum for instructions on installing it using goo.im and it should solve your problem. Use "fix permissions" within that recovery too.:)

Is it just me or the tethering suddenly stopped working. It was working a week ago but now whenever I try to connect, it says limited connection and no internet access. I am on dragon base and the latest update. I heard that AT&T has blocked tethering on its phones unless you pay for tethering service. Has anyone tried tethering lately?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Datron:
Same rom and update as you. No issue tethering as of right now.

Do u have any at&t apps installed, like My AT&T or Visual Voicemail? There is much speculation that at&t uses those to track your activity and harass your tethering. Especially if you have an unlimited data plan.

I'm new to this ROM and I have a question about the update zip that is in the OP. It says to flash after the initial first boot up but is it essential? I only ask this because I noticed that flashing it changed the theme to kind of an aosp theme. I would rather keep the TW theme so could I just not flash the update zip and I would be okay?
