LTE can be spotty depending on where you are located.

I'm in Toronto area and signals are solid, it's almost always LTE and not regular 4G.

Rom has no issue picking it up given that you have the correct radio flashed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unibombz:
Yah Toronto is nice and covered for sure. I did hit LTE so that's good. Already with a few calls in with people they say I sound a lot better, the newer radio I am using must make a difference I am quite happy about that feedback from people. Thanks for the input in regards to LTE buddy, much appreciated

I say we start a petition to get Mohan his RD status lol. Does Mohan have a donate link? I have been on 6.1 forever, I'm going to do an update to 6.11 right now, but I'd like to thank Mohan by helping him pay for his hosting. Who else wants to donate lol?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] daviebeach:
I looked yesterday and couldn't find a way to send a contribution.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] JHK1984:
Mohan doesn't accept them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
Correct
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] daviebeach:
I know and was hoping he had changed his mind.:)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] stevebic83:
How can we petition for it? Mohan you are in one word AWESOME. Each device I get, I get on here and search till I find one great developer and then stick with them, someone with a passion for what they do. You have been that person for me on the skyrocket. Your work is second to none in this forum, and where it seems it takes several people working on one project to deliver gold, you do it on your own... mostly :p. I've been in these forums for a few years now, and know a quality developer when I see one, and you deserve that title, and the added benefits that come along with it.

To everyone else, let's see what we can do to raise some hell to make xda give his app another look! :highfive:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] JHK1984:
If someone who works in law business or studying law can generously put together a petition form/page and upload it here, I would gladly sign it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] daviebeach:
Ditto
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bearclaw7380:
Mohan, you have to know people in high places in XDA in order to get the RD tag, and/or kiss ass. It's more humble working under a "senior member" tag, although you wanted the RD tag just for the benefits.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mohan_kr:
Thanks guys..

I love the support :). But, seriously folks, I could care less about the title, I was being cheap and not pay the premium hosting fee, so figured give it a shot. But the good thing is I am getting more familiar with the nuances GPL, so they do have a point from a "strict letter of the law" (basically I need to keep my releases and sources current), but I am really pissed off with the wording. Oh well...

Anyways, enough of that non-sense, back to Embryo 7. It's been cooking so a slight teaser: And yes, I will provide a stock theme since we all know about the obsession with color:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rccar:
Mohan teasing is not a nice thing, we're all so anxious!! Teasing won't help!!! Hahaha looks great man, I couldn't thank you enough
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
I don't think it has to be anything crazy from a lawyer or anything, just some simple form that says mohan should get his RD title.

And I'll definitely sign it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unibombz:
Excellent work, I agree with everyone above. I wrote a big thank you to mohan_kr as well :)

On the side of one issue I ran into, perhaps maybe someone would have some feed back to this inquiry, it seems every time I reboot my phone my 'Swype' keyboard always resets back to samsung default keyboard. Not a huge issue, but was curious to why it wouldn't be saving, been trying to figure it out (I don't often need to reboot) but in the case of power off or reboot that's what happends

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bitemark01:
I was having this happen to me; my preferred keyboard is SwiftKey, but it would default to the Samsung keyboard on reboot. I fixed it by 'freezing' the Samsung keyboard with Titanium Backup. Probably not the best fix, but it worked.

The problem seemed to happen after I ran an incremental update. It went away on the next full update.

I'm sorry I can't be of more help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] JHK1984:
Up at 6:07 am working on Embryo 7... this man has the dedication, knowledge, and the skills to deserve that RD title.

What is XDA coming to???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hellfreezover:
+11111
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unibombz:
Yah I never did really try SwiftKey myself. That's a good idea to freeze it, did that and it worked :) Don't be sorry you can't help more, that was great buddy, much appreciated. I am fine with that 'fix' for now to be honest. Everything else seems to be running REALLY well, don't know why it took me so long to come into 6 lol.

I had a few things I put up on the Q&A out of respect for the thread here but doesn't seem too busy over there. I was trying to figure out how to pull a few things from Embryo 5 to Embryo 6. I was searching for that basic 'android' boot animation we had in EMB5, and been trying to research how to inject fonts. There are font apps, but they are mostly garbage, I wanted to pull SonySketch from the old ROM, but it isn't just as easy as doing that.

Perhaps I should just relax and see what 7 has coming, then decide on the final touch-ups.

Again thank you for all the hard work on this ROM, If I don't move to the SG4 to follow suit with the dev, perhaps when the SG5 or 6 is out mohan_kr will still be rocking the goodness
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ctalcant:
There's a flashable zip of Sony sketch somewhere on the forums. Might try a Google search of xda for it.

Yah I came across that post, but it is not hosted there anymore... I will have a look around some more, maybe I will have to install ROM Toolbox again .... Thank you
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
I've been hosting it for months. It's in the op of that thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mindmajick:
Good luck to you Mohan. XDA truly has a screwed up process when it comes to RD status.

I applied for the heck of it and was of course denied. If the reason had been my lack of skills or knowledge I would have been cool with that. But the issue was my "history of trolling". Lmao.

Seriously though... take at least as many donations as you need for the hosting. You've done amazing work here. Just wish everyone appreciated it as much as your users do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] JHK1984:
Mohas has never trolled anyone though :confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mindmajick:
I know. Neither have I. Nor have I EVER had an infraction. But I'm a troll :what:

I know quite a few mods that actively troll though.

My previous statement was merely an attempt to show that there is a decided lack of consistency and reason in the process of becoming Rd
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Decepticaons:
Ill create the petition and get a link up. I know Mohan doesn't care, but of he won't take donations, then dangit we'll get him some benefits!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] JHK1984:
I feel you now.

If Charles Ramsey is given a hero title, I don't know why it's so hard to give mohan or you the RD title.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mindmajick:
No. I don't deserve it due to lack of skillz. Mohan absolutely does deserve it though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unibombz:
Thanks, must have been an issue on my end getting to the host site, I managed to grab the zip. It seems when you flash the zip it changes to the sony sketch font in my email's but not on my home page / system settings / text messages. Also does not appear in Display > Font list (hm)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
If you flashed the one from me it is a system wide change. It will not be listed in the font list as it is the default font now. it changes everything to SS font.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unibombz:
Yah, I grabbed the one from you and flashed it. I only ever see it when I view an email via gmail app and webpages via chrome browser, so not sure why I don't see the font listed across the board. It isn't a big deal, guess I was so use to using it in 5, just something new to adjust to I suppose. You will notice the difference in 'type' in the different screens.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
I don't know what to tell ya. It changes everything for me. Keyboard, settings, messaging, music, status bar, etc. EVERYTHING! It's system wide man.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unibombz:
Oh I believe you, not doubting that. Just odd to why it isn't acting system wide in my case. Seems only an aspect of it. All good I'll mess around with it see if I can get'er going.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
Was the download good? check the md5? try to reflash it?

Unless Mohan moved where the fonts are located or something, I haven't used embryo for a while.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unibombz:
Yup download was good, and always run MD5s before installs. All match and good to go. As well tried installing the .zip a second time. Perhaps that is the case with the file locations, as it seems to have changed the fonts in some places, but not ALL places :-/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
I'll look through it later tonight and see
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unibombz:
Right on buddy, Thanks

How has battery life been for everyone. I was just at a 100% charge, and have been unplugged for 1 hour, and I am at 82% ... is there any scripts or anything that can help this situation. I am underclocked at 1.2Ghz and 192 MHz on both CPUs and running SmartAssV2... Anyone been getting good battery life ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] whatlobster:
Battery life's just all right for me. I'm using ondemand and stock settings.

It sleeps like a baby, drops only 1-2% per hour. But drops pretty significantly when in use though. Typical use of 2 hour screen time each 12 hours takes the battery down to about 15%.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unibombz:
I take it you are runing 6.11? (as your sig still says 5.1) I will try those settings and see how she goes. Thank you. I noticed the new voice feature for Camera / Answering calls, etc. Anyone ever get that feature running ? Perhaps it is yet to come with 7 on its way

Features runs like this on the S3 : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YS7m5LhrRlc
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] whatlobster:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Blackberrynomore:
So I had downloaded 6.10 previously planning on doing a full wipe and install of 6.10 and 6.11 update. So I backed up everything and wiped everything then went to install 6.10 and it failed........................ARGHHHHH! So I check the MD5 and you guessed it no good. So I go to redownload 6.10 and Dev-Host is down...............DOUBLE ARGHHHHHH! Does anybody have an alternate mirror for 6.10 that I could possibly use? If not I will have to try doing a reinstall of 6.8 and then update to 6.11 after that. Rather not do that but if I can't get a good copy of 6.10 then I guess I will have to make due. What a disappointment......

And now my 6.11 is no good either man this really sucks! Never had issues in the past with downloads from Dev-Host. I was able to get the Nandroid Pre-load zip to download but the links for the 6.10 full zip and 6.11 update don't work...............
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ChillFactorz:
Just restore from backup, your latest backup.

You did backup up, as the OP says, right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Blackberrynomore:
Of course I did and thankfully I was able to get a good download of the pre-load zip so that I could do that exact thing. The phone is back to the way it was but I have been having issues with 6.8 and really wanted to install 6.10 Full and the 6.11 update to see if the issues I am having are fixed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Skyrocket2:
I just downloaded 6-10 full and MD5 checked out fine. No problem here with the downloads.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Blackberrynomore:
I also was finally able to download it as well. Took forever for the webpage to respond to the 6.11 link but it is finally downloading now as well.

Does preload come before restoring a nandroid backup ? I was trying to revert back to an older nandroid (5.4) to get something off it. but when I restore it gives an error "error while restoring"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bradthemarsh:
I know that this has been asked in the past, but it has never been answered that I can see: is it possible to enable 180 degree rotation? Whether it be through a setting, or a mod?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mohan_kr:
It should not be bricked, but can he get into recovery? He would be bricked if when plugged into windows the device shows up as QHUSB mode.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] baddgoat:
What about pulling the battery? Had he tried that? Pull the battery out and then while holding down both volume buttons, put it back in. Also can try having it plugged into a computer via usb then pulling the battery and holding both volumes buttons down. If it still does noting it is probably hard bricked :eek:

Also keep holding both volume buttons down and power button to after pulling battery and putting it back in. Keep holding them for like 10+ seconds. If nothing happens, uh oh
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] redgrass83:
Im not thinking its hard bricked. When you pull the battery, leave it out for like 30 seconds then try bro , im thinking thats all you need to do. Probably fixed it already. Odds are slim that youd brick a phone flashing two roms that were designed for the phone, but hey , theres always that one in a million:D:D

I had some preload issues with the update so im back on 10 btw.. No troubles as of yet:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unibombz:
I got it going for him, he explained it like the phone wouldn't boot. I got into recovery, wiped the phone.... He wanted 5.4 back, I tried to do a restore, which the nandroid was made with sk8s CWM version 5. Doing the restore with version 6, it starts the restore process then errors out. I can't be sure if it is corrupted or if the version change with CWM is the cause. Maybe he corrupted the restore somehow ? I tried the preload zip and still errors
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mohan_kr:
Make sure to select the "tar" format if using CWM6 prior to restore.

EMBRYO 7

EMBRYO 7 is up..see the new thread..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unibombz:
OK to clarify... you would go into 'backup and restore' 'restore from external sdcard' (where the nandroid resides) and usually when you select the folder, it just asks for confirmation to restore.

Is selecting the 'tar' within advanced restore?.... I am going to boot into my recovery to visually see what you mean, I have never restored using the 'tar' format.

For now I just got them back on 6.11 so I am happy about that....

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unibombz:
Still can't get SonySketch to work on everything, only took effect on WEBPAGES (CHROME) and EMAIL (GMAIL) any ideas ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] scootertrashtx:
'tar' is the format that your backup is saved in... you change the default by going to 'backup and restore', then 'chose backup format'. Make 'tar' the default. The 'dup' setting saves the backup in a different format, the file tends to be WAY larger. It's an 'incremental backup', it only updates the new stuff building on previous backups. BUT, this can throw some of the 'restores' out of wack because it may subtly change data (such as 'preload')... 'dup' has a 'blob' folder that is rather large and not easy to archive to your computer... 'tar' format is nice & tidy and easy to copy to your computer for an archive. I'm not saying 'tar' is better than 'dup', it's just that some ROMs like 'tar' better and its easier to archive. Hope this helps...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unibombz:
Yah it always has been in 'tar' I figured it out, it was CWM how it named the backup folders. You have to rename them for them to restore. Thank you though :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unibombz:
Wanted to post some screens for the excellent battery life of this phone, one was a lighter day of phone use, other was a little heavier, needless to say, good show :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
Sorry I forgot to check into that. It worked fine on older versions like 6.2. I'll have to dl this and look at where the font locations are. I don't see why they would have moved though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unibombz:
Thanks man, yah I don't see them being in different locations, but from what you can see on those screens above, it's not kicking SS in everywhere :-/

If I can get it to work awesome, if not oh well... I remember mohan included the font and other fonts right in 5.4 so it was nice :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
You are on embryo 6.11, correct?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unibombz:
That I am sir :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
Fonts are in the same place they've always been. I'm on a mc1 tw Rom as well. All my fonts are SS.

If you want try slim n fresh and let me know if the fonts all change on that Rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unibombz:
Naw not changing off embryo... but thanks for checking... wonder if I can insert SS font files manually ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
Yeah. Just go into system/fonts and swap them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mohan_kr:
If you want to change fonts GLOBALLY, you *MUST* have the proper formatted font for all these (all located in /system/fonts):

Clockopia.ttf
DroidSansFallback.ttf
DroidSansMono.ttf
DroidSerif-Bold.ttf
DroidSerif-BoldItalic.ttf
Roboto-Bold.ttf
Roboto-BoldItalic.ttf
Roboto-Italic.ttf
Roboto-Regular.ttf

I have rarely come across font packages that have all the above (maybe it is there) (for JB), a lot of them only have a few of the above. If you don't have the same base font's thing will look funny and who know might even FC in some apps..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unibombz:
So would this work, cause I did flash this but it only changed email (GAMIL) web pages (CHROME). Not too sure why it didn't change everything across the board. I was going to extract it and manually inject into the directory ... a thought I had anyways :-/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mohan_kr:
Looks like the updater script didn't set the permissions..I repackaged the one above:

see attachment..below..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unibombz:
Awesome, I just flashed it, and it didn't take, strange. Perhaps it is something on my end that is now allowing it to apply everywhere on my ROM. I appreciate you looking into that for me, that's awesome of you. Thank you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mohan_kr:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unibombz:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unibombz:
Keep in mind I use GO SMS Pro. So basically if I connect my phone to USB (dump files whatever) or Power Off / Reboot the phone, my notifications with GO SMS go back to 'Silent' so I have to select them every time. I also notice when I unplug and go to select the tone I use right away, it is not in my 'selection list' for about 5 minutes after unplugging. Its like it needs time to re-populate
