No clue, never tried it but as far as I understand lcd modder causes boots loops when used to change dpi on ics.

So you may have to load a backup I have no clue what LCD modder does but if the update didn't help my guess the issue isn't the build.prop.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] skyrocketeer:
Ah, I see. okay. It's been a awhile since I made a backup :\
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] amchandr:
This sky ics rom is the best one in XDA.

Most stable, fast and best battery performance.

Hats off to SKY ICS team.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kishke:
So none of the init.d scripts will run unless you manually go to the init.d folder, and change permission and add execute to them. Also avoid the 3 super charger scripts they will do just harm: diehard battery calibration, v6rev11 and the kickass kernalizer.

Big thanks to ReedX50v who did most of the work!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ScottBroker:
This is by far the best rom I have put on my T989! Yes, better than any othe Tmobile rom. Good work!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Touchmypro:
Yeah I tried LCD modder a few times to make sure it wasn't something else and it caused boot loops both times, luckily I had made a cwm backup just before. Try ROM Toolbox free from the app store works like a charm, and lcd modern for the play store fix. Just remeber if you pull down your notification bar and the blue ring is not center try notching down the dpi a step like instead of 210 dpi try 209 or 208 until it appears center. I seen a lot of ppl didn't figure this out by looking at alot of screen shots, just a heads up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mr_magoo:
If you use a are utility like super manager you can make it so it won't start up when your phone gets turned on and that won't happen. Unless u like the live updates I personally shut them all off at startup. I also use lbe manager so those programs cant read my contacts or the phone numbers I dial.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mr_magoo:

What happened to the no battery mod from Sean's second post? Can someone post the link? Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Don't know if you've been answered yet, but have you tried different radios? I was on UCLF6 and fixed my garbled sound issues by flashing the UCLF5 radio.

If that doesn't change the sound quality for the listener, I would closely inspect the microphone hole in the bottom of the phone for debris... It's tiny ;)

Sent from somewhere in Galaxy SII...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mr_magoo:
Can u post a fix and instructions for it? Maybe a simple flash?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mr_magoo:
Down load the all battery mods its in one of those zip files
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kishke:
I have no clue how to create flashable zip and furthermore how to change file permission.

Just go to system/etc/init.d with any root explorer long click on each file, click on permissions and check all the 3 boxes in the execute row, the permissions should look like rwxr-xr-x.

Just make sure you don't do it on those 3 scripts I mentioned, haven't checked them myself but I trust reedX50v. It should take around 5-10 minutes after boot until all the scripts are done executing.

And please use the edit function instead of double posting it's hurting my eyes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mr_magoo:
Did I double post? Sorry didn't mean to l have been qouting and only edited one post for typos. May my app screwed up but I don't see any double posts.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Bone_Enterprise:
It is rare when you don't double post.

Also not sure how dosangst was having so many issues, I think I have only had force close issues once, a lot of that came from restoring items from Titanium Backup and having a bad flash, but hey this ROM will not be everyones cup of tea, that is why we have so many different people making ROMs, it is unfortunate that he had a bad experience.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Jack45:
It's puzzllng to me when I read the posts of individuals having multiple issues. Of course, my assumption is that our basic devices are reasonably similar and, therefore, the hardware itself isn't to blame. I flashed the Dragon base (carefully following the OP instructions) and have incorporated each of the incremental updates without a single issue, wiping cache and Dalvik cache along the way. Learning from experience, rather than restore from TiBu, I simply re-downloaded apps of interest. Never an FC or problem of any sort. And, FWIW, I've also flashed various mods (battery, noise suppression, etc.) also from the OP. Having found the UCLF6 radio sketchy, I flashed UCLF5 with better audio results.

All this leads me to believe that folks with issues have either not checked the MD5s post-download, flashed without first performing basic housekeeping (clearing caches), or introducing apps that are creating havoc. Again, this assumes that our hardware lacks meaningful variances from one production run to another.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bobgodd:
Only posting this again because threads tend to move quickly and things get lost in the mix.

For anyone having issues with Poweramp, specifically the lock-screen widget; you need to install DroidSans.ttf font into the system\fonts folder. One way to do this is to get ES file manager from the Play store, and mount the system drive then copy and paste the font. The fonts can be downloaded from google web fonts (google search it). This font was missing from the Dragon base.. Don't know if it's present on the regular base or not.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DemonRagna:
Anybody know how to get the social hub stuff working? Is there an APK? Other than that, I really like this Rom. I've missed the scrolling wallpaper. Just got this phone a couple days ago.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] stoopendis:
Here here! Both variants of this rom have been d/l'd over 2000 times each, and yet we have a dozen or so chronic complainers who insist their problems are rom related. I guess the other 1988 users are just uninformed eh?

battery issues with the latest build (2.4)

I can't tell if my usage has changed or if there is in fact some batttery drain from the bettery gremlins .... anyone else notices a battery drain?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Jack45:
A few pages back I read about Facebook being a drain for users. Me? I gave up concerning myself with battery usage a long time ago (Captivate days). As long as the battery lasts a day with normal usage, that's all that I care about. I plug it in overnight and start fresh each day.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] chicagoraw:
I've never had better battery life in any ROM like I do with 2.4, and it's noticeable.

i had dragon installed for 2 weeks now. and im starting to have problems with the battery its seems to drain faster and charging time seems to take forever. i need help. i always shut down all the apps and clear memory when im done but it doesnt seem to help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] -Graff-:
Such a ridiculous request. Don't be so freaking lazy.

Scribbled on my I727 running SkyICS 4.2F6 v2.3
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] RaudelJr:
I can swear that on several ROMs back, different base, months back, there use to be a preference option in the menu while in the Dialer screen, there is where one could choose the initial screen to enter, either dialer, call log, favorites, contacts, etc. But the preferences options is not available in this recent ROMs, only the settings option, which doesn't have the initial screen options I'm looking for. I was hoping there was another way.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] taranis17:
The official Facebook app was a battery-drainer for me too. Got really annoyed that I had location services and notifications turned off, yet it would still switch on GPS whenever I launched it. Switched to Friendcaster and never looked back.

Something else I did was use either Rom Toolbox Pro or System Tuner to look at my startup items. Its amazing what ends up runnning at startup that to me, doesn't need to. None of those that I disabled affected my usage whatsoever. A list for those that are curious:

Accuweather Daemon (Frozen in TiBU, I don't use it)

Camera

eBay

Email (Frozen in TiBU anyway - I use Touchdown for Exchange)

Exchange Services (see above)

Friendcaster

Google Partner Setup (Frozen in TiBU - not sure what it does)

Maps

MapServiceSamsung (disabling these hasn't affecting my Nav or Maps app at all)

MusicFX

Parcels

Photoshop Express

Pulse

Rom Manager

Rom Toolbox Pro

System Tuner

Talk (Frozen in TiBU - I don't use it)

Task

Tripit

United Airlines

USA Today

Weatherbug Elite

Web

XDA

Obviously everyone's list of apps are different, but my point (and guess) is that a lot of user apps get loaded on startup that don't need to be, draining the battery further. Depending on what you use, YMMV.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] seanzscreams:
Which base
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] latinohot:
I pm'd you, the last update with last base

4.2F6R2 1.6
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] uhno:
UCLF6 BASE R-2 (Regular Safe Base some bloat but pretty clean)

Confirmed for me as well. Home button doesn't go home. Back works but home lights up and doesn't go anyplace.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] latinohot:
forgot to mention when you hold down the home button it brings up task manager, but not on this base
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] SW548:
Yeah, downloaded Apex (which is what I had been using on the Rogers Rom anyway) and in settings (where it was already set to 'preview') changed it to 'go to default screen' and still nothing.

Not blaming the Rom - sure it's user error somewhere along the way, but I can't figure out where. Been flashing for several years, so maybe I'm just going on auto-pilot and missing something obvious.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] latinohot:
Sean is looking into it, I hope!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Vally2k:
CWM Recovery or ODIN?

How do I flash this .ZIP please?

Do I go through ODIN or boot into recovery?

I didn't see any instruction on how to install the rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] latinohot:
just follow other flashing instructions from other of Sean's roms and you'll do fine

what I do is

boot into touch recovery

wipe 3 times(data,cache)

go to mounts wipe 3 times(format data, cache, system)

then flash rom, reboot let it sit for about 5 minutes

boot back to recovery and flash update with any mods I want to change
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Vally2k:
Ok, let me see how this goes.

So how do I work it, to be able to use Touch recovery? I only know cwm

Just wondering..

Hello everyone :)

I don't post often I'm a lurker, usually I can find all my answers by searching. However I'm curious how all you guys are able to get your roms up and running so fast after a new one is posted! I do have TB pro but it still takes me hours and sometimes days to get everything back in order. Do you all just restore/backup user apps or system too??? I do use Go Launcher, is that bad to just restore it? I already have all my folders set up so just restoring it saves me a lot of time. I'm going to install Sky ICS this weekend.. And this is my first Andriod phone.. was WM for years..

Right now I'm running embryo 4.1, after restoring my user apps it is a little sluggish and does some weird ****, Like in Zanga poker when I use the keyboard (Andriod, Samsung or Go) to talk to people after I hit close it does not not show the full table again it is black where the keyboard was, anyone having this problem with Sky ICS?? And I get a lot of Black screen pauses then app not responding..

I was using Venom for almost six months then I got the brilliant idea of using TB to push all my apps to the SD card :p That was a mistake and caused all sorts of problems LOL.. anyway so now I'm making the move to ICS and it seems much more sluggish then GB.. am I doing something wrong??

BTW Sean, I'm a BIG fan of yours I have been using your stuff ever since you came onto the SGSR seen, you really are an AMAZING chef!! and I did vote for your narley beard several times!! How long did it take you to grow that thing??

Oh also do any of the optional lock screens have the camera button on it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] geoldr:
I would just like to say that I am running this version, and its really fast for me. But I dont use any backup software, I always manually install everything.

And yes, the AOSP lockscreen has the camera button on it if you swipe to the left side.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] chicagoraw:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] KangKilla:
Just wondering, but why do some of you always say to wipe cache and do a factory data reset also, the factory data reset wipes cache already... You end up wiping cache 6 times.

I have to say that i have tried just about every rom out there.... But I always find myself coming back to the SKY ICS ROMs. I love the fact that Sean explains the directions in the OP so that anyone that can read can install this rom. If you just look at the updates alone you can see that he is very proactive at improving and fixing any glitches.(if you can find any) Not only that, the sky ics community is the fastest at assisting with any problems you might have!(as long as you follow the #1 rule)

So I have to say hats off to you Sean for the kick ass roms

And hats off to the rest of you for all the kick ass help!:D

The base ROM / Updates do not include stock Email or Exchange Email apps.... those are separate zip files if you require.

Sean, glad your wife is OK. Also glad to hear of the upcoming update. By any chance would there be some GPS fixes in there? As a quick refresher. I did a fully wiped, clean install of 2.4 and everything worked fabulously except for GPS, couldn't get a consistent lock for the life of me. I tried all 3 GPS fixes, did the GPS Test fix and every thing else that was suggested by the other cool folks on this thread but nothing worked.

I'm a sales guy and need my GPS to be solid so I'm currently on CM9 but really miss your rom. CM9, AOKP and even Sky ICS Rogers (from early July) all have a working GPS, just the current rom doesn't (for me at least). Several other folks on here are having similar issues although there are an equal amount of folks reporting that their GPS is fine - crazy eh? Anyway, anything happening in the new update that might help me come 'home'?

USB-OTG Host functionality w/ SkyICS UCLF6 3.0.8 Kernel

ROM: SkyICS 4.2F6 (regular safe base)

UPDATE: 2.4B

KERNEL: UCLF6 3.0.8

Posting my experience/observation in case anyone else runs into this issue. I noticed that after using my usb flash drive to transfer files to/from i727-SR, that phone would no longer deep sleep. I did unmount ("select to remove usb mass storage safely") drive, and did get message "usb mass storage removed safely".... however, after removal phone would stay pegged at 384MHz (no deep sleep). BBS Partial Wakelocks shows "UsbStorageUnmounter" as the culprit. I've run this test multiple times, and each time "UsbStorageUnmounter" process keeps phone awake. Only way I could figure out how to stop it was to reboot. Anyone else seen this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Blairware:
Nope. haven't observed it specifically, but that is good troubleshooting technique there! And I am going to test for this myself at home later, just to know if I need to watch for it, and/or reboot after using USB storage. Now, are you saying you connected a usb drive to the skyrocket? or are you simply using what Samsung confusingly refers to as "USB Storage" ? One thing I have started doing is ejecting the drives when I unplug the phone from MY PC after mounting the storage to the PC. It is probably overkill, but if it keeps my MicroSD from getting corrupted just ONCE, it was worth the extra 11 seconds it takes each time.

SEAN! Glad to hear we have another "Fix" coming, and I do NOT mean a fix as in something's broken, but fix as in for my Sky-ICS Jones, LOL!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Bruno2123:
Nevermind i read wrong ignore me lol im guessing the kernel just doesnt know how to deal with that type of thing
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DoctorQMM:
Yes... I have a USB-OTG host cable and I plug my usb flash drive into one end... and connect the other end to the phone's micro-usb connector. Sean apparently has activated "OTG-USB Host Enablement" on his kernel.. which is fantastic as you can easily transfer files between phone and flash drive. Works perfect... however, locks up the "usbStorageUnmounter" process and won't let phone sleep.
