1: No

2 and 3: Inverted means apps with a black background... and it rocks if you want gapps!

Sent from my i727 on a JellyBean somewhere in Galaxy SII...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] RAVEN6:
Answer:

1. OP states to flash sl gapps first then any other gapps.

2. Inverted just means the reply mms/sms are on one side and your response are contained on the opposite side resulting in a staggered/inverted look (someone correct me if i'm wrong).

3. Download both versions of gapps and extract them to see and compare what is inside.

This is what i would do as a 'flasher' (no kinky stuff) : Flash CM10 with full gaaps, let it settle and nandroid. Flash another CM10 with another version of gapps, let it settle and nandroid. Flip back and forth to see how you like each version.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] RaudelJr:
Thanks, if I happen to not like it. Can I revert back to full gapps without restarting from scratch?

Which reply I correct?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] RAVEN6:
Interesting. I find it the opposite, but i was on version 1.0. Now on version 4.0 with 0813 gapps. Was running (one day) at the default 384 with no sod or flicker. Phone runs at 384 more times than deep sleep. Not sure if due to the water live wallpaper. Now trying it at 192 with same configuration. Phone sleeps better, no sod or flicker. We'll see what happens.

Update: Got my first sod on 192 just hours after u/c from 384.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
I am not sure about this one; I think maybe it was stated because Vin's default setup is with slgapps for its light weight...

I have jumped right to the inverted package several times after letting the ROM settle. Not arguing here, just saying this has been my experience. :)

My answer to your question one is: In reality, they are both correct but i would NOT post against the OP's instructions. I won't disrespect the person who spent a lot of his time and effort in making this rom.

---------- Post added at 07:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:54 AM ----------

Yep +1

On another note did you flash the TWRP or download from goo manager? and how do you like it compared to CWM? I tried it before, loved the UI but for some reason I could not get it to recovery mode. I ended up going back to CWM. I'm on the fence on this one, lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:
the reason to install slgapps 1st is so we can all be on the same page, cm10 is considered beta, nobody knows how programs affect the rom, its like when installing progs on a computer, you know that some affect the os in a negative way. so the less we install the more we know whats working and not, if slgapps runs fine with a few hiccups then you can install what you want, but not every app has been tested with cm10, in theory they should all work.

in saying that, you can install whatever you like 1st, slgapps, fullgapps or inverted, just boot the rom first b4 installing anything else

try the dl for twrp from op, it should flash w/no probs, its the reason i made it flashable as i dont like using goo, if you dont like it you can just flash cwm

Is anyone having an issue getting Ubuntu to see the phone when its plugged in?

I've always been able to see it until I flashed this ROM. I flashed without gapps.

Windows sees the phone fine.

One thing I notice that's different is that Windows does not give me the safely remove option anymore. Maybe its related? I like this ROM so I don't want to flash something else just so I could adb to the phone.

Anyone else having this issue?

Using Ubuntu 11.10 64bit
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Agreed. I just re-read the OP, and Vin does say to use slgapps first, although I see above that he just said why and that you can actually use any version you like.

Sent from my i727 on a JellyBean somewhere in Galaxy SII...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] RaudelJr:
Thanks for everyone's reply.

One final question. If I install the inverted version of gapps and don't like it, can I revert back to fullgapps, or will I have to start from scratch?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] RAVEN6:
Answered already. Flash rom with one verison of gapps. Follow OP instructions. Once your satisfied with your phone, due a nandroid backup. I would wait a day or two then flash same rom but with a different version of gapps. Again, follow OP instructions. Due nandriod. Make sure you distinguish your backup so you won't get confused which one is which and do not use spaces. After trying your second version of gaaps and you prefer the first version, just restore the first version from your nandriod backup. If not, stay on the second version. I can't break this down any simpler. Press the button if I helped.

The above process is lengthy but it definitely works. I don't think that a simple wipe of cache and dalvik and flashing another version of gapps will work but I don't know. I think you have to wipe the system to get rid of the gapps that are already in there. Perhaps someone more experienced will chime in. Good luck.

ROM is very unstable. Wifi does not even connect.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vettejock99:
Then you did something wrong.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] LPMatt:
The nandroid process you mention is a good idea for anyone testing roms.

As for gapps, most of the zip file you flash is just the necessary Google apk's. If you unzip the file first and install individual apps, they will most likely just overwrite the existing one. I'm not sure if that will fix any stability issues, though.

You could try doing a nandroid of the rom before adding anything (no gapps, no restored apps). Then you can experiment with different add ons without constant wiping.

once you have slgapps, which contains gmail, playstore and syncing of contacts, calendar and gmail, you dont really need full gapps as everything else is available from play store, except , as i found out, not picasa sync which i made available as a dl in the op

you dont seem to be a newb, but your statement of it being not stable because of wifi not connecting is considered newbish, any other info on instability.

btw, if your flashing any cm10 based roms they are all considered beta/nightlys until the cm team decides otherwise, all jb based roms are considered betas and they all use cm10's kernel

Just wanted to confirm that the bluetooth issue I mentioned yesterday is a bug. As I mentioned, in the last 3.1.x version using Vin's supplied audio_policy.conf and even prior to that the Evo 4G LTE one supplied in this thread I get streaming audio via A2DP to my BT headphones and also in the car, and I was also able to make calls via BT. I've now done 4.1.1 three separate time multiple full wipes between and followed the OP clean instructions and calls simply do not work. Flashing any of the audio_policy.conf or CM10 music fixes doesn't help, either. So whatever the bug was that they introduced in the CM10 base around 9/5 or 9/6 I think, these fixes don't fix it. Not complaining, just wanted to let you know. I'll restore to Sky for a bit and keep watching the merges and builds.

Great ROM so far.

Flashed this about 2 days ago, feels/seems stable enough. My last ROM was discontinued and not in a good enough place to be a daily driver yet.

I'm getting about 2 SODs a day or so, never in the same app. Just freeze --> SOD --> Samsung logo. I might pull some logcats later and see if it is flash or CM10 related :-/ .

Again, great ROM. Running with full Gapps ("...oh Google, I wish I knew how to quit you..." ).

Does anyone else miss the original ATT antenna strength/LTE indicator?

TL;DR: great ROM, some SODs, will pull logcats, missing original LTE antenna bars.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pooch11:
I've been running the latest version for 2 days now and only 1 minor bug to report. BT works but pressing the button on my BT earpiece does not function. I think this has been reported earlier. Other than that it works fine although I wouldn't mind the volume being a touch higher (I can hear too much outside noise from inside my car especially on the highway)

For those having SOD issues I was in the same boat until I decided to do a complete wipe and flash back to a stock ICS. I followed the instructions and installed the rom WITHOUT gapps and let it settle for about an hour. I then installed the LIGHT gapps as instructed and let that settle for another hour. I did not use my phone at all for that time period. Luckily I didn't have any calls to make.

Another important tip is I didn't restore any apps whatsoever that I have backed-up. I have been slowly re-downloading and installing only. I have not had 1 SOD thus far nor any flickering. I am on the stock kernel which is also important to note.

The rom is incredibly fast and smooth. Best so far and I've tried a few trust me!

edit: As far as battery life goes I'd have to say it is pretty much the best I've had out of all the JB roms. It is on par with SKY ICS which was the rom I was previously on for a couple of months. I easily get through the day and I leave LTE data on the entire time.

Vincom.

I installed your superheavy rom and decided to run a series of tests.

From FULL CHARGE, with USB plugged into the wall. I set everything to the off position (airplane mode), and left the phone alone, aside from a wake up every day to see where battery level was.

3 days in the phone sat on 73%, Ok that's pretty good, but day 4 it was at 50%, day 5, 40%, day 6, 15% day 7 dead. Ok so all in all not bad. reminder this is the superheavy rom, so it has a LOT of bs and junk in it. BUT none of my other apps installed.

Ok, now back to full charge (48 hour charge with phone turned off).

Now I've turned EVERYTHING on, full volume, wifi, gps, and all.

Day 1 85%

Day 2 50%

Day 3 35%

Day 4 dead.

Ok so 4 days with everything turned on (my mileage may be different then yours, so please take these as just my experience.) But all in all NOT BAD....not bad at all.

Realized I had things in my nandroid back up of STOCK / ROOTED ICS, I reverted back to ICS.

Decided WTH why not try it again.

From full charge everything off. (airplane mode)

Day 1 70%

Day 2 30%

Day 3 dead

48 hour recharge and then back to step 2, EVERYTHING on.

Day 1 30%

Day 1.5 DEAD

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] onearmedscissor:
Not sure why everyone is getting so many sods. I've been on v4 for like a week now and haven't even noticed a single one, and I use my phone a lot all day.

Here's what I did to set everything up:

On twrp 2220, wiped everything 3 times

Formatted both sdcards and put important files back on from pc backup

flashed v4 sl

Rebooted and waited over ten minutes

Rebooted

Fix permissions in recovery and wipe cache dalvik

Rebooted

Flashed instigator 636

reboot then fix permissions and wipe caches again

had flicker bug but fixed by build prop tweak and enabling gpu on both developer settings options, and turning off auto brightness but enabling auto backlight

Flashed supersu in recovery and wiped caches fixed permissions

Restored about 20 apps with Tibu

Reboot and wipe caches fix permissions in recovery

Waited to flash gapps for a few days

Flashed gapps sl and set up account

reboot and wipe caches fix permissions

Froze and uninstalled any unused apps with Tibu

Disabled unwanted startup apps with system tuner

Wiped caches and fix permissions again

I am oced to 1728 and edited build prop lcd density to 160, and didn't get any sods or any other problems at all since flashing v4, before and after gapps. The kernel governer and other settings I left as default.

Not sure what I did any differently than you guys but I am kind of compulsive about wiping cache and dalvik and fixing permissions in recovery a lot, so maybe that helped. I've also been only using twrp to fix permissions, not ROM manager or anything else. I also checked the md5 sums on everything.

Hope this helps, good luck!

Oh and i was wondering if anyone noticed a difference in performance compared to before flashing gapps and after. So far I haven't really noticed the difference. Thanks!

I has started with maybe 70 percent battery before the power down, and when I came back on it was down to 30. I farted around with he phone a bit and it did it again. I pulled the battery and rebooted into recovery. I fixed permissions, wiped cache and dalvik, I rebooted and let it sit for 10 minutes. After the 10 I slowly began to interact with the phone.
