Hey guys I haven't been keeping up with the updates for awhile and im still on the last leak before the official rogers firmware came out well then the At&t official version came out as well.

Are there any special transition instructions to get from there to here or do i just put the base on the phone flash it reboot then do the update.

Also what are the main differences with this and the leak im on.

sorry in advance I know this has prob been answered but im busy working with paypal trying to get my money back after a scam

also im currently on ClockworkMod Recovery v5.8.1.3

I dont think this is the recovery stated in the directions of this thread does that matter?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] steadly2004:
Theres nothin special to transition from the older sky I c s to the new at&t really. However, if you want to change or modem and kernel to the newest release, you should probly do so before flashing the ROM
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Bruno2123:
You will need to do a factory reset wipe cache dalvik system those things then you can install base and follow directions. Hard to do a itemized list of the differences between all the builds just know this is the fastest most stable build out there. Your recovery will be fine twrp imo is just better.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pwnerman:
thank you i was just wondering if there were any special steps that were new from the old releases.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rkub:
Sean provides directions in the first couple posts of every thread he's done. You should always read at least the posts from the dev before flashing...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] texasman420:
I got that once and I just reflashed the update and restarted and it was gone
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pwnerman:
-.- I did do this. I was asking if there was anything different in the steps from the old ones

also does anyone have any suggestions on which is the best modem for someone in maryland
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] texasman420:
Well since no one lives with you your guess would be as good as ours. You just would have to check them all out to find what works best for your area bro.

Forgive me for not reading every post in 146 pages. The ones I did manage to search out were to links to pages with several modems, but noone actually saying "This one works great for sky-ics." The ones I have tried have terrible battery life and show up unknown under baseband version. Everyone wants to say "search," Ive been a member since 09 with very little need to post, hense my ability to search. Thanks for your unhelpful reply.

Thanks dude, your awesome. Im kind of confused on which one that is exactly though. Id love to give it a try.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rnaplus:
Then you would know that it depends on location. There might be a thread somewhere that gives more specific results. But you could just pick one and see if you get good speeds/signal strength. If not, flash another. Ucle2 and uclf6 give me good results on att in Boston

sent from my Skyrocket
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] speeddevil:
So Ive heard, but I find it hard to believe. Does att and tmobile ship phones with different modems based on which part of the united states they are sent to? Im probably in over my head asking that question, just doesn't make sense to me. Doesnt matter which modem I have tried, it either works or doesn't. And when it doesn't it says sim not installed, or I can't get Tmobile 3g & 4g.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Bruno2123:
Att doesnt ship phones with different modems because they dont care they just try to get the modem thats best for the most amount of people but we as hackers are lucky we get to pick and choose what works best for us.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Datron:
Jesus christ. Pardon my frustration, but the "which radio or kernel is best" question needs to stop. It's a very valid question, but there are no great answers as of now due to rapid updates and a severely dispersed user population.

Anyone familiar with Google fusion tables? I'm pretty sure it's possible to make a live geospatial representation of radios and their performance. Anyone have experience with this? Please let me know. I'm very interested in starting a project. Devs could add it in their builds and OPs. It would give devs and users alike very useful feedback.

Sorry, I searched "kernel" and couldn't find this in the thread. I'd been having issues with battery life, then earlier today flashed the UCLF6 Bootanimation Disabled kernel from this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1762308

I'm currently running Dragons--did I flash my existing kernel on top of itself? I suffered some serious Android System wakelocking this afternoon, and am wondering if I made some kind of idiot move by flashing that kernel with Dragons.

If it's not the same kernel, is there any way other than wiping and re-flashing to get the Dragons kernel back?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Jrockttu:
I'll see if I can find it, but at some point I saw a google map that was tagged with radio performance in various areas. I can't remember if it was for the skyrocket, or my wife's AT&T GS2. The only downside is that it was tagged with people saying "XXXX radio is best here" instead of actual numbers showing the performance.

Here it is for the AT&T Galaxy S2:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Bruno2123:
You did flash the same kernel on itself but that wouldnt cause any problems i know you use gsam so what is causing the wakelocks if its google services thats normal it will have tons of wakelocks im up to 264 times waking devices in 25 hours but it only used cpu for 30s in all those times so its not really a battery drain
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] T.J. Bender:
I'm kind of thinking Set CPU was doing it. I ended up doing a Titanium Backup app restore this morning before flashing the kernel, and Set CPU was in it and restored itself and its profiles. Around 50% is when the drop started happening, and 50% is when Set CPU was programmed to kick in and start ucing.

The weird thing is that it was Android System causing the wakelocks, and the system was held awake for over an hour by it before I caught on. My best guess is that Set CPU and the system weren't getting along, as that problem seems to have fixed itself. Battery's still draining surprisingly quickly, though, so my next bet is to calibrate the battery and see if I can't isolate anything there (or if it really was just the restored Set CPU jacking with things).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Bruno2123:
Yeah i think setcpu causes more problems then it helps if i even set min freq to 192 it makes the 2nd core wake up and actually drains the battery twice as fast. I would just run default no uc maybe change how often your widgets update or switch to k9 mail instead of gmail so you can change how often that check emails. I just dont think uc on stock is very efficient since its really not programmed to understand the changes.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] whassupmyninja:
So i installed the scripts http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=28008616&postcount=249 and had no problems. Checked system/etc/init.d and the scripts are there, used setcpu just to see what the cpu was running and checked out to what i installed. If someone else would confirm,that would be nice.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] traumaj:
Are you restoring your apps and data? Many times when you restore both it'll wonk your system up. It's a hassle, but I've gone to just restoring apps and redoing all my info for those apps.seems to be cleaner that way. Also, setcpu hasn't given me any issue either way.

When I can't pinpoint issues, I'll start fresh with a new download a wipe... most of the time it'll fix things... food for thought.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kwaalude:
ok... two questions. and before i ask, YES i tried search, no i didn't find anything and no i didn't read all 147 pages.

first, how do i get rid of the soft keys for home, back, settings? completely un-necessary on our phone and i'm not quite sure how i enabled them. i think after flashing 2.2A.

also, i'm coming from SKY-ICS 4.2E (yeah, i know... i used to be flash happy but it was so damn solid, i went months w/o feeling the need to upgrade) and want to get rid of the battery icon. it's redundant with the team-battery line at the top of the screen.

thanks in advance!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] whassupmyninja:
On of the lockscreen mods has them on. I think i just reflashed a lockscreen without the onscreen keys on them.

And there is a "no battery mod" in one of the zip files for batteries

Or just turn off the team battery in the drawer
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kwaalude:
thanks!... i'll check those and report back :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] T.J. Bender:
Yeah, I think the restoration was the issue. There must have been some kind of conflict involving the Android System and Set CPU or JuiceDefender, because the drain issue is solved. My phone's been at 30% for well over an hour now with the system idle and WiFi on. I'm comfortable that it's solved, but all the same, I'll be calibrating the battery tomorrow, and if things still look way off the mark, I'll be wiping and reinstalling Dragons.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kwaalude:
that did the trick...

that'll teach me from making more than one change at a time so i know how to fix something when i break it.

thanks again!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] clippy83:

I'm getting a huge Samsung maps service wake lock. It's the second on the battery usage list next to screen on time. It's weird because the only thing I have that needs to determine my location in the weather lock screen that updates once an hour. CPU spy gets less than half time on deep sleep, other half of 1510 mhz. Any fix to this? Seems to be draining my battery like crazy
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] KangKilla:
I'm not having any problems like that. But then again I never use GPS and location data and I always leave my settings to not give any type of haptic feedback and I never update anything automatically. The only thing I keep that drains battery is like ten minutes until my screen shuts off due to a lot of reading. I find it quite bothersome when I'm reading and the screen has to be unlocked five times or + before I'm done with one page.

I'm also using apex launcher and I never add a bunch of apps that claim to do a bunch of junk. They usually misbehave and open themselves and continue to drain battery with no end in sight.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rccar:
Same here, I've got every app's auto sync off, even facebook. Brightness at it's lowest and I notice my battery % ticking down twice before my screen shuts off at times. It's ridiculous
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] KangKilla:
Facebook is horrriiibblleee all around the board. If you're trying to save battery then things like twitter and Facebook do not respect most auto sync settings and they find ways to steal your data anyways. Sorry about being off topic but I notice a lot of battery consumption complaints when I'm not having any on this rom

Oh also, I haven't hardly used my phone at all today and I see my android system only using 6 percent but on a normal high usage day the percent rises to quite a bit. It just depends on your use habits.

For some reason launcher would lag the close and I'd get a crap load of shell permissions.. this has happened on several occasions and several diff flashes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Bruno2123:
Thats the stock lockscreen or if you looking for a link with colored icons its named tw with colored icons. As far as maps causing wakelocks and draining batterys that seems to be a bug if you clear cache it will fix it. The same goes to facebook what i do is use wizz widget then i can see what everybody is doing that way and if i need ill open facebook app do what i need to do then close and clear cache because even if you set as no notifications no nothing it will still cause wakelocks for no reason but clearing cache stops it and signs you out so you get your use out of it without the headache for battery lost.

I dunno about that, there should be minimal mfg delay due to slight difference in relation to comming from GB to ICS. The s3 is out and the skyrocket got ics shortly afterwards. HTC is pushing jelly bean updates hard too. There isn't anything I see remaining in a skyrocket jelly bean updates way. Samsung and at&t cant push any new phone with first to have jelly bean. They just released the s3. On the contrary HTC may be setting mfg update competition momentum. I think jelly bean update is gonna be out quick. Samsung says august September we'll see.

CWM vs TWR

Hey guys...since I bricked my phone trying to put TWR (Team Win Recovery) on my phone I am a little gun shy now. So I have two questions...

1) Is it OK to use CWM Recovery to flash the base and updates?

2) I used step by step instructions to get CWM on my phone (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1340526) are there similar instructions for TWR because clearly the one's I followed were either for another phone or not correct or I missed something (most likely).

Since Sky ICS 4.2F-7B.zip is from the Rogers base and it works for you, I guess that means you failed to flash the base from this thread. You would need to flash the base from this thread before applying any update files from this thread. This is the reason your System UI is FCing
