screen freeze

Noticed a peculiar issue. When the phone is turned off and charging it freezes on "Samsung" screen when you turn it on

The problem goes away when you unplug charger

Not a biggie but a peculiar one

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] T.J. Bender:
So I've got SkyICS Base 2.0 (about to be 2.1a once I reboot and flash), and I'm wondering if there's appreciably better battery life on the Dragon version. Appreciably better as in better enough to wipe for, which I'd have to do again today after wiping yesterday to install SkyICS at all. I've frozen and/or uninstalled all bloat, and dropped GSam in favor of Better Battery Stats.

My phone sat idle for about 7.5 hours last night while I was sleeping, and only lost 12%. Pretty honkin' good, but I'm always looking for better if it's out there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] texasman420:
i dont never wipe and i get real good battery life i had 5%left at 11 lastnight and had 3 left at 8 this morning with it idle . But i see no real big difference in the two on battery life .

In re-flashing the Stock "Venom" themes do we lose anything that's come out of 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9 or 2.0? I know that since the Stock Venom hasn't been updated since 7/12 we retain the old Contacts apk but I'm wondering if there is anything else.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] car vs driver:
Well, we could just give a different answer the second time around. Clearly that's what's expected, so ..

I recommend using the Bose Wave Radio. While expensive, it sounds fantastic and can almost fit in your pocket. Consider, that at around 12" it isn't much larger than a Galaxy 3. Additionally, it comes with some nice mounting brackets so you can hang it under a cabinet in your kitchen and fill your whole house with amazing sound. I guess it lacks in the portability department, which I'm assuming you really need ... So, have you tried a Sony Walkman? They even play cassette tapes as an added bonus.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Bone_Enterprise:
While I will agree that the Skyrocket running SKY-ICS is a rock solid phone, it still does leave the outstanding issue of me still having $1,008.89 in parts left to buy for my computer upgrade, despite the fact I have already spent $824.96.

I also do not use supercharger as it is really not needed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] car vs driver:
I personally wouldn't bother. The ROM is butter smooth and very nice on the battery. If, after running the ROM for a few days, have problems with the battery, then you might want to try it. Or, you can figure out what processes are using the most battery time and freeze them (if possible) with TiPro. The ROM is so debloated that there are very few (if any) oddball processes that would run your batter down.

I took my wifes Skyrocket with GB, followed the instructions given by the OP (upgraded to CWM touch 1st) flashed the base file, flashed the modem, rebooted. Flashed the 2.0B update, fixed permissions, ect. I do not have the 15 toggle mod displayed at the top of my pulldown menu. I have the icon for it in my apps, but its not enabled for some reason. One thing I did flash was the modded ICS kernel, would this make a difference?

BTW, I did this to mine and I have the mod.

You have a bad flash either try again check md5 to make sure your files are fine or use TWRP recovery
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
II didn't see anything about this anywhere. For some reason, since the B updates came out for 1.8, 1.9. 2.0 and now 2.1, in my external SD, the number of photos in my DCIM/camera and DCIM/camera/* folders keep getting doubled after a B update flash. The doubles are just broken icons, all black with a small gray square in the middle containing a little white person-looking image.

I have gone through after the last 3 flashes to the B updates and deleted these manually, but each time I flash an update they magically reappear.

I have already tried unmounting/remounting the external SD card with no change in this behavior.

Does anyone have any clue why this could be happening? Soooooo frustrating.

Connected via USB to laptop, and I don't see any files like what I'm seeing in the Gallery app. I'm wondering if somehow they're thumbnails or could it be a bug?

EDIT: Just fixed this.

In case anyone else has a similar issue, go to System>Applications>All, find Media Storage, and select Clear Data. Then dismount your external SD, reboot, and remount it. When the media scanner is finished, voila, single photos again!

I hope this was just a fluke with my setup/SD card...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] car vs driver:
If you were starting fresh on this phone, which is sounds like you were, you should have flashed the base followed the instructions to settle in and such. Tben rebooted and flashed the 2.1A patch, not the B patch. Then, I would install any add ons, additional mods, etc.

Reset the phone and start over. Don't worry about changing the radio or kernel, most people with Sean's roms keep the kernel that comes with the base. I would recommend fiddling with modems after you confirm the one that comes with the ROM is insufficient for your area.

Anyway, all set to rco with THIS... And then the 14 Toggle will come via update, I assume. Nice to have a new base. I know I sound like a broken record but any chance that Touch Key Light Always On is working on this Kernel? If not, what the heck, I am slowly getting used to the fact that I won't see those always on again on SR, Maybe in October when I upgrade. No SGIII for me though, More like Note II, if it's as good as rumors predict.. or even close, hehe.

is the modem the same as radio? so go modem first?? or base first? do i need to reboot between flash base and modem / radio? moreover, the instruction did not say about kernels. which step to install the stockmod uclf6 kernel??

i am noob so i really need more detail for his instruction.:confused:

Why would I want att crap on my phone?

I know it has been modded by the best, but why would I want this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vwyankee:
Modem is same as radio. Flash immediately after base then reboot. You don't have to flash the kernel but if you do it would also follow the base. See my summary of instructions below for the rest.

This is based off ATT official release. The other build I'd from Rogers Canada official release. With this one I'm not showing being in Topona NV! :thumbup:

Base is starting point, update is finishing point for the build. See below.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vwyankee:
So your GPS doesn't show Topona NV? It also seems more stable and complete than the Rogers build, IMO. Those of us with Exchange PIN lock required will be happy to have a secondary Lockscreen like GB again. My Email isn't as flaky. Lockscreen wallpapers work.

I keep finding more that is either working where it didn't with the Rogers build or more polished. Yeah, it's a much larger install but worth it already to me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] seanzscreams:
All the ports from all my builds into this one are finally up and running

only flash these mods on this build they arent just copy and pasted.. I didn't waste all that time for nothing.. So flashing a battery mod lazily from another build will cause issues somewhere

These people are tripping off acid, Sean. Your ROM is just fine. We both know it. Thanks for all your hard work. I understand that if I use my phone the screen kills my battery. And I also understand that if something went wrong, that it was undoubtedly something I did 9 times out of ten and I usually run into the 9 before the tenth because anything that went wrong was my own damn fault.

Nothing negative to report here, I have found my own work around for what ever I didn't like and that's only which launcher I chose and to me... that's epic if that's the only problem I am having, so thank you for such a creative and wonderful ROM, I am here to stay.
