I know there's an issue with the kernel that you'll sometimes get no bars and no data and a simple reboot will fix it so I don't know if this quirk is part of that kernel bug. Twice now since 1.3 I've experienced no data with the navigation app and phone calls go through but no one can hear each other but yet it shows signal and data. Switching to and from airplane mode does nothing. Only a reboot cures it. I have experienced the known no signal bug maybe 3 times so far.

Also, after doing a clean install and wiping everything 3 times before installing 1.3.1s, I plugged it in to charge as I was putting the settings the way I like, I was at 30% battery and it kept going lower but showing it was charging. Rebooting didn't solve it. It went all the way to 4% then I shut it off. Pulled the battery and let it set for several minutes. Put it all back together, fired it up then plugged it in and it started charging and going up. I searched for a battery bug for this phone but found none. Only one or two people who experienced the same thing but no actual bug to point to. I admit it was a quick search ( I need my beauty sleep) so if there is one... please don't flame me.

Also just a quick note... after wiping 3 times and Aroma doing it as well, There was still a few apps that remained although I still needed to log in with. Those apps where Ebay, Facebook, Lotto Results and Rainy Days that I can remember. I am running TWRP recovery but never experienced that happening before... well at least with this phone and this recovery.

Oh, just one more thing... I downloaded this file from my computer and the size was 346 megs, I transfered it to my phone and my phone says it's 338.4. The file goo manager downloaded was 338.4 as well. A Windows missread??

I just wanted to make you aware of what I experienced. Thanks and keep up the good work!!

Nice rom i love it. Fast and smooth
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] car vs driver:
Yeah, thomas is working on a few things with the LZ kernel. Hopefully he'll get that sorted out. Seems to impact a small number of people using it. I'll pull down his source and run a fresh build as soon as he says that he has some fixes posted to git. (Haven't checked his thread in a few days so there may be something there already for all I know).

That's the first I heard of the battery charge issue. Keep an eye on it and let me know if it continues. One thing I'd check to see if your battery is going bad perhaps?

Odd that the wipe didn't work, but honestly not surprising. The skyrocket is a finikey beast when formatting and wiping. I wouldn't worry about it though, those apps are in your /data volume and the system wipe should've been clean.

But, if that happens to anyone else, I'd say reflash the rom right away before you start setting things up just to be sure.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sgvalenti:

What kernel settings are you using for this high of a benchmark?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] car vs driver:
Stock. If you grab the tweak package from goo in the 1.3.1-S directory that's what I have setup plus the settings noted in the op.

I should also mention that I'm using the apex launcher.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] greenteg:
Didn't you also post that it wasn't required for 1.3.1-S? I thought it was already included, no?

Notification led not working wen screen is off.. tried disabling n enabling it both in settings -display n advanced ...

also wud like to see the option fr notification background change as in liquid smooth...

Thanks a lot sir..

HA! My first reaction to this was, "Well, it woke you up didn't it?"

I'm going to try and carve out some time tonight to look into a few things, I've added this to the list (I love wunderlist). If I can't get to it tonight, it'll be Friday - my Thursday's are booked in the recording studio (plus I work 50 hours a week). Regardless, I'm trying to make sure I address any issues as quickly as I can.

BLN notification works just fine for me, in fact I specifically turned it off just the other day. You turned it on in Settings->Display->Notification Light?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sathish087:
Sorry I meant to say I tried disabling n then reenabld ... anyways, it just got fixed after a reboot... thanks a lot fr quick response...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Wallcrawler77:
I'm in the process of wiping and installing 1.3.1, and noticed that this GApps installs some stuff in such a way where the apps can't be updated. Namely, GMail refuses to update to the brand new version released a day or two ago with "Package file was not signed correctly." I'm going to start over without GApps this time and just install everything from the Play store instead ... that works, right? :)

Edit: As I suspected, I'm an idiot. If you don't install GApps you don't get a Play store nor can add a Google account to your phone. Silly me (but then again, why would GApps be an optional install?) I'll try this again and figure out how to fix GMail so it can be updated and report back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] car vs driver:
The problem is because the leaked apps have a different signature than the released apps in the play store from google.

The following steps should work as a fix to get the official version out of play store ...

Use TiBu to remove the gmail application from your device. Do not freeze it, just delete it.

Then you need to use root file explorer to either rename or delete /data/app/com.google.android.apps.gm-1.apk

After that you should be able to install the version from the play store.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Wallcrawler77:
I had just found that solution and was about to redact my previous admission of being an idiot, and replace it with "I'm a f---ing idiot." There are days I'm amazed I can put my own pants on.

Thanks for the gentle reminder. :)

Ok is there another place that file could be? I can't seem to find that file in data/app... I've reset the phone but still no luck... Solid explorer doesn't find it either... Tripping me out... No gmail icon to be found... I did delete in tibu first...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] harry_fine:
I tried the fix that CVD quoted, but I now have no Gmail at all.

Uninstalled with TiBu

After uninstalling, used root explorer, and no such file existed /data/app/com.google.android.apps.gm-1.apk

So went to play store, downloaded Gmail, but it wouldn't install, incompatible version.

Anyone help?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rkub:
I used the gapps that was bundled with the rom... Didn't update the gapps package or anything like that. Wasn't having a problem with gmail just couldn't update it... Tried the instructions CvD gave but after deleting the file I couldn't find the file that needed to be renamed so I had to uninstall via tibu then reset then install the newer version of gmail.

This is one of my favorite ROMs after only a day. Daily driving it with the Remix ICS theme and really liking the speed and stability.

Four things I have to address:

Visual Voicemail Fix

Auto Screen Brightness (Too high)

Flash Player

4.2 Launcher - I want to edit how many pages I have. Maybe I'll port TWUx for giggles.

There's probably more and if I remember correctly, these are all CM10 problems. :D

Thank you for such a nice ROM.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Wallcrawler77:
The gapps in the ROM works just fine, but I was interested in installing the just-released latest public 4.2 version of GMail for things like gestures and auto-fit/pinch-zoom. It's pretty slick.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] buffjam9011:
For what it's worth, I cleared gmail cache/data, unintalled with tibu, rebooted, and the new Gmail installed without a hitch.

One thing I just noticed after a couple days on a fresh full wipe flash - my governor was set to interactive. I had used this same kernel with the rom previous to this one using the interactive governor, but thought it would default back to settings according to op after fresh install. It's not a problem to me, but I'm curious as to why this might happen?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] greenteg:
Here's a few screens. Data reception is better than any previous ROM with the same UCALA4 radio (77dBm at my place, 89dBm at school, 65-70dBm at my parents)

Battery life is okay, but exceptional when the speed is considered. Excellent job all around!

Notification lights

I've noticed that my notification lights are not working when I get en email, missed call, etc. (Yes it is enabled). Is anyone having this problem or does anyone have a suggestion that I should try? thanks

Google Now

I searched, really did, but could not find an answer, hence a question here...

I am one of those flash-holic, who goes around and tries different ROMs and I tried this, and have been very happy.

But, I like Google Now, and use it a lot. On my Sky-Rocket, the search icon used to bring up Google Now in other ROMs, but it does not bring it here. The app is there, and I can use it from app-drawer, but I have no idea how to change the Search Assistant app to Google Now app, so that Google Now pops up when I press Search button.

Am I missing something somewhere?

TIA.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] car vs driver:
Off the top of my head, try freezing Search 4.1.2 in TiBu ... that might work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] yogi-4:
I have the same issue. It worked maybe once since clean install 2 days ago then nothing. Since this phone doesn't have an led, those alert flashes helps alot... when it works. :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] duwady:
That DOES work...

I "uninstalled" Search 4.1.2 (could not freeze, I am a cheapo, and use the free version... :) ), and now the search button brings up Google Now.

Thanks a lot, my friend.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ka724ka:
You could also try to long press the search key to bring up Google now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rkub:
Only problem is that only brings up the voice entry for GNow it doesn't bring up the cards if you use those... Even tho they're battery hogs, every once in a while I like using those things...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ratkid2271:
Interesting. I installed the newest version with a clean install. After the first two boots, I followed the op to make sure my APN's were set right. On the third boot, no signal. I checked again and all my APNs were gone. Has anyone else seen this?

[edit]

So it seems after a reset to defaults (with no changes appearing), and then yet another reboot, they're all back. Odd...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] shaggyskunk:

Hi,

Just installed this and can not get the microphone on the keyboard option to show.

I went to input > settings > both android keyboards and the option is checked to show on main keyboard.

I also tried to switch it to symbols keyboard with no luck.

This was working fine on my previous rom.

Google now voice search works fine.

What am I missing?

EDIT -

Installed ultra keyboard from the store... it works fine and the mic button is there and works... but switching to the Android keyboards - the neither work and they are both enabled to show the button.

There must be something else I am missing.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] car vs driver:
Data drop is due to a bug in the kernel as far as I can tell. It has also been mentioned in the TFQ thread, but thomas hasn't provided any input or updates - I'm assuming he has a life outside of kernel development taking priority ;)

Looks like we're losing kernel devs, KKO is not supported, hotcakes just lost support ...

So, I decided that I'm going to build my own kernel for nibbles and have that available in the next release. Hopefully I can get through most of the code I have to write in the next couple of days. Spent most of the night last night getting a few things sorted out, so progress is going nicely at this point.

I was going to release a new build today with the TFQ kernel, but ran into a few hiccups with it and figured that I probably won't put any effort into fixing that while working on the new one.

Knocking the dust off my linux kernel dev knowledge from many, many years ago has been fun over the past 14 or so hours ...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] car vs driver:
Every ROM has a kernel, it's basically the base subsystem your ROM runs on. The CM10 kernel is quite good, but it offers minimal configurability in stock form. When people build new kernels, they typically want to add things like over clocking, under volting or tweak certain things specific to their needs.

Here's the kernel wiki that explains what it does pretty well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_(computing)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] plwalsh88:
Not entirely true at all. The stock kernel that comes with CM10 is darn fine and stable. "Better" is a relative term. All depends on the user's priorities.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] B0$$$:
The SMS/MMS Messaging app doesn't seem to be as good as it used to be. Especially when receiving picture messages with text; the text can't be seen cause the picture covers it up. Anyway to get back the old theme?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] car vs driver:
Yeah, easy ...

On your phone, either use TiBu to delete the MMS app or delete the APK directly with root file manager: /system/app/Mms.apk

Now, go into the flashable zip with an archive tool and grab /system/app/Mms.apk and put that on your phone in /system/app/Mms.apk

Reboot.

Done.

The new MMS app comes from a different spot in the flashable zip, so the one above is the stock CM10 version.

Not sure if you got an answer to this. It happened to me also. Was shocked when it happened, I knew it was working, and then the radio had disappeared. I simply downloaded the radio of my choice (for this device) and flashed the zip. Hasn't happened since. I now keep a couple of radios on my SD card so if it happens and I'm on the road, I can re-install it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] car vs driver:
Thomas posted an update to the TFQ-LZ kernel, it is good to flash on this ROM to get up to date. I flashed it not too long ago and it seems to be pretty stable and smooth after a few minutes of testing. Haven't run my usual logcats after flashing a kernel, but Thomas does good work so I'm not terribly worried about it.

Just follow his instructions in the OP, specifically the piece about updating your build.prop before flashing.

Flash refuses to work in stock browser even tried disabling it and installing another flash from playstore and same result. I'll try a fix permissions again after i uninstall other app and re-enable original flash. if it try to go into flash settings it just goes to a black screen trying to connect to the net i guess? Which fix perms should have been done during the install regular or sk8? I did regular so this might be the result of that if I chose wrong.

#Increase overall touch responsiveness
