Why do I get'my device isn't compatible with this application' from this (md5 checker) and other apps? I am running an LCD density of 206 but even when I change it back to 240 nothing changes? I used to use LCD density modder pro for this but I don't know if its compatible with the new play app? Also I thought the newer play store versions fixed this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] espina936:
Yes. I have the same problem. I've yet to figure it out. I used the md5 checker. Although I am fairly stupid and I'm not sure if I'm doing it correctly the numbers don't match. I assume the files for the battery mods is incompatible.

Great ROM. Everything works.

I just have one problem. My work email does not work with this.tried both email packs -stock and exchange.

It was fine on 4.2f3 and on 4.2e.

The issue is with outgoing server connection smtp.It says - cannot connect to server. This problem happened with mohans embryo too but was fixed with the latest release. AOSP based rom work fine.

I really want to use this rom and would appreciate any help on this issue.

Point taken, lesson learned, My reply was not an attempt to flame, I have been in xda for a while and i know the first thing to do is search. and i guess i started searching wrong and we all know, garbage in, garbage out, which lead to dead ends and my request for information from people more experienced with this rom.

Sean,

I reinstalled the base I had 2.3 and then installed all updates from there sequentially. I am running 2.6B now and I really want G Now voice search to work. How do I get it to work like asking if I need an umbrella? When I try it nothing happens and I have read through this thread and the Jonny_G thread and cannot seem to find any help with this. My apologies if this has been answered already but I have searched and looked and have come up empty?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] KangKilla:
If you are talking about Samsung Kies then you are probably not going to get it to work. But if you do, please share. Even though I'm pretty sure it would be too much work, because even stock & untouched roms have trouble connecting to it.

Marv, many thanks for doing this. Great dedication and initiative. We need to do these for every sky rom.

I hope you'll consider making an xda thread for this, similar to the great work vincom has done recently. The text doc works but you gotta realize most users needing FAQ support will never find this document if it's buried in the rom's thread.

Well I heard some guys at work talking about putting their phones in deep sleep while charging and that it charges faster. Also I was reading something in another thread that made it sound like if you were wakelocked while charging that you could be damaging your battery. Can't have that now. ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Bruno2123:
I think they ment a wakelock FROM charging not during if you dont have a samsung charger or if your off brand isnt supported right you can get a wakelock from charging which will drain your battery once it comes off charger Jrockttu made a app that can check this but if you have official you should be fine. Maybe people at work ment turning your phone off and plugging it in that will make your phone charge faster and get a better charge but theres really no deep sleep while charging in a sense your phone stays mostly at minium anyways

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Mike:
The question you should be asking yourself here is how many of those guys know about CPU spy, deep sleep CPU state, rooting, etc. They probably don't know much if any. I bet they were just referring to turning their devices off for charging.

Read a few pages back to find the mirror links.

Edit:

The only reason you would need an older A update is if you were going back to an older base for some unknown reason. A updates are only to be used in the following scenarios:

1) Fresh wipe and new base install

2) Missed a few "B" updates and you don't feel like downloading them all and sequentially flashing them in CWM - Note: TWRP will let you add up to 10 zips to the queue and it will go in order...did 3 of SeanZ's updates like this without fail before.

If you need older B updates, please see carvsdriver's DevHost page and thank him: http://d-h.st/users/carvsdriver

I updated my post with better info. The original was sent on the fly at a stop light driving home. Note that old A updates are really not useful. SeanZ packs ALL of the updates from the release of the ROM into his A updates, so there is absolutely no point in having older A updates. The B updates through 2.6B are on carvsdriver's DevHost page: http://d-h.st/users/carvsdriver
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] whassupmyninja:
True, true. The A updates to me feel like checkpoints to go back to, some users may find one point of the updates to be stable and fit to them and want to go back to there. Who knows why anyone would want the A updates, but i have a few that ive kept along with all the B's since starting i think.

Personally i dont think you need 2.6.1 if you are on the dragon base

If you are on 2.5, then do the B updates in order .. 2.6 then 2.6.1. Otherwise, drop the 2.6.1A on there and you will be good to go. My signature has the B updates if you missed one.

Reflashed and boot-loopt

I was having bad overheating issues with the 2.6.1B (which I flashed direct from 2.4, since I apparently didn't log in one day and Seanz the madman had put out 3 updates... ;)

Anyway, I use TWRP, and flashed 2.4B, 2.5B and 2.6B and boot-looped. I nandroided back to what I had, but wanted to know if you guys thought I should find workarounds to the battery issue (if it isn't ROM-driven), or just wipe, reinstall the Dragon and then go for 2.6.1A.

Much appreciated.

Edit: To be clear, I'm trying to solve the massive battery drain/overheating issue I ran into with 2.6.1. I'm familiar with the charger and wakelock issues, and that doesn't appear to be the problem. It just runs really hot when running, and the battery life is sucking. It goes into Deep Sleep appropriately (well, it goes into deep sleep, but I'm not sure if it can go more often or whatever), so I can't figure it out. I just got the BBS from XDA, though I couldn't download it from Play.

Hey guys great work google now works awesome.

Had a few problems with installation though just reporting them in sorry if this has been mentioned before.

Phone was on 2.3 and i missed 3 updates so i downloaded 2.6a made a nandroid in cwm touch and proceded to install 2.6a over 2.3. Phone got stuck on the boot animation and wouldt boot up, so i went back and tried to restore my previous nandroid and when the restore was complete it also got stuck at boot animation. Even after wiping data cache dalvick etc as a precaution. Only way i was able to fix was with full wipe and reinstalling normal base, at which point the phone did boot up normally after that i was also able to install 2.6a no problem. Phone had no mods nothing all stock 2.3 as it ships on sky ics soo did i do something wrong or is jumping updates a bad idea?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rccar:
I'm sorry man, could you redirect me to your post? I cannot seem to find it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kishke:
Google better battery stats and you'll find the thread of it on xda, there's an xda edition there for download which is practically the same just free and should work for you regardless.

I would recommend just doing a full wipe it's usually the best way and sometimes the only one that works.

How long have you waited? one of the updates on the way cleared cache so you had to wait a few minutes before the phone booted.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ChillFactorz:
This has been mentioned many times. The "A" updates include all of SeanZ tweaks and theme changes added to his stock base. If you miss an update, always use the newest A update to catch up.

SeanZ created the "B" updates as a way to download only the changes and not the full theme and tweaks. This allows a smaller download and less bandwidths used.

Downloading the A updates, would be recommend, for for those that are not sure about which update to install. It will be a bigger download thus clogging up Dev-host but you will be guaranteed the latest up to date, updates on SkyIce.

Remember if you install an A update it will wipe any add-on or tweaks you have made or installed. Thus you will have to re-install any add-on's or tweaks you have made yourself. This should be easy, as you have saved all the add-ons, right! And you are already in recovery flashing the A update.
