Two weird things:

1. The chrome issue being discussed, logs attached. No random reboots, but serious lag. http://db.tt/rjViDcUh

2. Plugged my phone in to charge before, all the drawables updated as expected to show charging, but battery level started dropping. Reboot fixed it, but I forgot to grab logs, sorry!

So if we have N15 installed, is it safe to update with the newest nightlies everyday?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hooman64:
Help needed!

Hey Everyone,

I'm trying to flash the latest radio that is out for Skyrocket (UCMC1) but I faced few problem and although I asked around and tried to search, I'm not able to solve it, so I appreciate it if somebody can help me figure it out. I'm not a pro in this matter but I guess I know my ways around flashing simple stuff.

ok so I flashed the latest CM which is 05/25 and gapps (did a clean install, wiped everything), no problem there, but each time I try to flash the radio I get this error:

-- Installing: /sdcard/radio-att-I727-UCMC1-no-csc-no-ril-cwm.zip

Finding update package...

Opening Update package

E:Can't open /sdcard/radio-att-I727-UCMC1-no-csc-no-ril-cwm.zip

(bad)

Installation aborted.

I flashed the latest CWM Recovery, TWRP even CWM Recovery touch, also someone told me they flashed it with no problem using TWRP 2.4.4.0 but still couldn't get it to work. tried every other trick that was suggested but nothing seems to work. really getting confused here. I also DLed another (similar) Radio from a different link though maybe the link was broken or something but no luck with the other Radio as well. also checked the MD5sum of the files. any suggestions?

Update: Never mind what I said, it suddenly worked! Thanks everyone for your suggestions. :)

What did you do to get it working?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hooman64:
I changed my USB cable! that was the weirdest thing ever happened to me! I was using my GNEX USB cable, but apparently it messed something up when I copied the files to SD card, and only the Radio files nothing else, so I had an old Nokia Cable and grabbed them randomly to transfer my files to phone again and work on it and suddenly it worked! Same files, same process the only thing I changed was the Cable.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ozziedog:
I think "safe" is a relative term, someone wrote several pages back that what one nightly fixes the next may have different problems. Top an company have made a boat load of fixes in N15 and I'm running with no problems. I'll more than likely try the 20130524-Nightly it looks like it has bunch of fix/changes, I'm waiting until I have a PC handy just in case I mess something up.

You can either wait until someone else try the nightly or you can jump in with both feet and hope for the best. Good luck. Just my two cents:)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] car vs driver:
As an aside, don't flash a radio while you have USB plugged in. Not sure if fud or not, but I've heard you can brick or have problems that way.

Can anyone confirm that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] blwjr:
I remember hearing that a while back when in the captivate forums. Haven't been willing to find out tho.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] car vs driver:
Fwiw, I have flashed many radios with USB plugged in. In fact, I usually make a point to be plugged in while flashing so I don't lose power and brick :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] JimmyD_92:
From what I understood during my days with the Captivate, it can cause no signal on the first boot. I've done it many times.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
I think it matters whether you're plugged into the charger or a computer. I can see where the latter could cause issues...

I don't think it's true. I've flashed a lot of things with usb plugged in. Can't say specifically there's been a radio, but there's a good chance there has been.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hitekredneck:
If you are using a non-touch version of clockwork then that is most likely your problem. When we transitioned over to jellybean it was stated many times over that a touch version of clockwork or TWRP must be used to flash jellybean ROM's. Otherwise you are sure to have problems.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hooman64:
From my experience I think it depends on the Cable, one of my cable caused some problems when I was flashing a radio. the second one worked like a charm.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Bleedos:
I always use the original cable. Don't know if it's safer or more reliable.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ozziedog:
Yeah I have found in my case if I use USB connection on front of my PC and not the ones connected straight on mother board I have all kinds of problems and in some cases not using cable that came with phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] RaptorOne3:
I'm curious as to how true this is... I've heard mixed opinions on this.

Plus, the official installation instruction page has a direct link to a non-touch version of CWM. (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_skyrocket)

Any official comments on this? Does non-touch or touch recovery have an impact on JB ROM stability/installation?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hooman64:
I usually do the same too, I didin't had the original Cable, my GNEX cable messed up the good 'ol Nokia cable saved the day :D.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mtdew:
That thing hasn't been updated since last year so stick to the latest touch recoveries.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hooman64:
yeah for me is the same too, if the USB port is not connected directly to the motherboard my PC won't recognize the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] RaptorOne3:
Thanks for the response but that doesn't really clarify this...

What is the difference between the latest touch and non-touch versions of CWM that would have an affect on the installation of a JB ROM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mtdew:
OK at this point we told you what to do if you don't want to cool dude but this isn't the place for those questions we have a q&a and several recovery threads post there please.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] onealvideo:
When we moved from CM9 to 10 to 10.1, the recoveries also had lots of compatibility updates.

The requirement for a native recovery was needed as we moved along the process. The older recoveries just didn't have all the necessary code to flash/install/wipe etc...

The newer 'touch' recoveries made the necessary changes like TWRP or when Sk8 was updating our native version of CWM.

So yes, it does matter what recovery you use to flash as each jump in CM has different structures in how it deals with partitions and directories.

Now we should move on as Mt Dew said. Read the CWMR thread of Sk8's and you will see the progression or TWRP I am sure has a change log...

5_27 crash. While reading legal stuff in "about phone"

http://db.tt/e901arWH
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rpr69:
On N15, what I've noticed most often is that I will get the lag/screen freeze 99% of the time when scrolling up or down in an app. Could be any app, there does not seem to be any consistency there, but the symptoms are almost always the same, I will scroll, the screen will hang, then flicker once, and then the lag hits, and it will usually respond, very slowly, to other inputs. What I do is hit the power button once, and within 5-10 seconds it will turn off the screen, then I turn it on, unlock, and I'm usually hit with a 'app is not responding, wait/close'. I usually hit close, and then the app starts working again, but usually only for a few seconds, then it will lag/freeze again. I usually reboot at that time and it seems to fix it for awhile, awhile being anywhere from minutes to hours.

Question: what information should I be gathering, and when? I've been trying to login via ssh to the phone and capture stuff when it lags, unfortunately I'm usually out of the house when it happens.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dakpluto:
That's a github that most of the CM devs use to store the files for each individual manufacturer. Just means they merged in the latest changes by Chopsticks and others into the samsung branch of the CM git.

It's only important to people who were building without setting muppets or TC in their local manifest.

---------- Post added at 04:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:36 PM ----------

... Back on topic.

So since n15 I've installed every nightly that's come out via cm updater with no problems except the double tap wake bug.

However, it happens so infrequently that it's hardly a problem and I don't think a fix for it has be done as of yet anyway so things as still running good. Maybe a little jerkyness over all and varying between nightlies but I assume that's to be expected.

I'll try to paste bin something concerning the double tap wake issue but so far on 5/28 it's not occurred.

Cheers!

Green Hue Screen

I updated to the 5/28 nightly and am experiencing the known green backwards screen. When I tried N15, I never experienced that problem so it must be something that wasn't added to the commits yet. Besides that the nightly is good, no reboots!:)

20130528 Nightly Good So Far

I'm also having good success with the 5/218 nightly. I've not had the backwards green yet.

I got here by going through the 5/26 nightly (with a clean wipe, including data) and then flashing 5/28 this morning (dirty flash on top of 5/26 that was clean). I had the backwards green screen on 5/26 once, but not yet on 5/28.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dakpluto:
Since all the kernels here are built off the CM kernel, unless you plan on building your own and putting in BLN yourself, that won't get you far also.

Never will understand why people wet themselves for such a battery killer, lol. Would be so much better if you could light each cap button individually.

Couldn't care less about blinking notification lights. However, I sure would love to see timed hardkey lights on screen touch. One second would be awesome, just enough for me to see where my hard keys are in the dark :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Andrw0830:
One thing I hope can be done is when you touch on the screen, the lights on the bottom buttons don't light up. I noticed it is a battery killer when you are playing games or watching videos. The only way to turn it off, turns off the entire lights even when you hit the buttons. I am not sure if it is just the I727r that has this but on the 4.1.2 of Touchwiz, the lights only light up when you touch the buttons on the bottom. I love CM and the work being put into this. Keep up the great work!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vpxf:
That would actually be much more useful because I only want the light to see the hard keys. Lighting up option upon hard key press would be much much better.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] fightinfilipino:
has anyone had any trouble using N15 and Navigation in Google Maps? it's really weird. i clean flashed N15 (with the UCMC1 radio), restored only a few things (SMS's, Call Logs, some game apps and their data, and two non-google user apps), and my skyrocket seemed to be happy. Google Maps works fine, and i can get a GPS fix quickly. calls and data work fine.

when using Navigation however, the phone freaks out. Navigation hangs frequently. the screen won't redraw the map as i am moving (in a car or otherwise). the GPS voice is delayed and sometimes doesn't sound at all. it's really really weird. i've tried uninstalling Maps, clearing the data, and no joy.

gonna try 5/28 next.

Been out of the loop for a little while now. Now that BLN has been removed. Whats the best option to keep that functionality? Stay on older nightlys, which doesn't sound too appealing. Or go all the way back to CM10? I'm actually going to look into a new phone after finding out there will be no more BLN, that was critical feature for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mtdew:
Older version of cm10.1 or go back to cm10 it's your pick. Can't believe something that didn't exist stock on the phone could be so "critical". Mayhaps one should choose a bit more wisely next time smh.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bnevets27:
Your joking right? Isn't the whole purpose of running custom ROMs to gain features, tweak and personalize? And your comment on choosing wisely, there was very few android phones that had notification led's when the S2 came out, and since CM had the feature to fix that downfall of not having notification led's I would consider it a good choice . Its rare to have a feature for so long (I was using BLN on my original galaxy) then just have it rip out. From the sounds of it, it was more work then it was worth to continue to include it, that I can understand. Also why I didn't whine about it being gone, just looking for away to get it back.

I faced this problem on a nightly that came out 1 week before RC2. Navigation wouldn't update my current position frequently. Did a complete wipe and factory reset and flashed RC2. Now, it seems to be working proprely.

With RC2, my phone seems to get drunk sometimes though. Instead of the normal portrait position, the screen goes upside down. The touch part still thinks the screen is in normal position, so I have to guess the touch locations:D. Reboot solves the problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hitekredneck:
Do all of the recommended wipes and flash the n15 experimental build. I have never suffered the green overlay, upside down screen with that one. N15 has a few fixes in it that RC2 does not have.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] crazybikeperson:
Been on N15 for a couple days now, using UCMC1. Full wipe, no restores - I let Google re-download my apps. Sigh, the settings never come along with them.

It has been a very rough ride. The phone freezes constantly. Every once in a while an app will stop responding and the screen will get stuck either off or on, depending on which it was at the time. Several minutes will pass before it begins to respond at all - if the screen is on, it will not update. When the phone finally comes to it will have an "App is not responding. Wait|Report|OK" for whichever app was in the foreground at the time. It's happened with several apps so far, and as I tried to open Astro just now to double-check which nightly I was on last (4/23 I think, and it did not have these problems), it's happening again.

I'd love to help track this issue down. What can I do? I am a Linux test automation developer professionally, so I can follow instructions.

I've wiped cache and fixed permissions.

Edit: and it just rebooted on its own this time.

It doesn't sound like you did a full wipe (data, cache, dalvik, and system) before flashing, you may want to try again. I believe that has been the primary issue for users having similar problems
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] boobah204:
I've got a "sticky power button" issue that started happening on 4/23 nightly, and it came back again on the recent experimentals including n15, but not on 4/19 nightly (and I've yet to experience it on 4/19 because I frequently revert to it)

Occasionally hitting the power button to either wake or sleep the device will cause the advanced power menu to come up as if the power button is being held. Sometimes it can be avoided if the power button is tapped quick enough, otherwise it reboots as if it were a long-press of the power button (except it only takes a few seconds to reboot)

It seems like a hardware issue (and I thought it was my case for a time) but it only happened on certain versions and not others.

Also, since I've installed bootlog uptime, after this happens the little "boot" notification shows up saying a crash was detected. Unfortunately I can't figure out how to properly use bootlog or what I should look for/share. (If someone feels like giving me a short ADHD tutorial I'd be more than happy to cooperate)

I'm convinced it's something that was committed between 4/19 and 4/23 and reverted back to on the recent experimental builds. Maybe a power menu thing or something.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rpr69:
I did a full wipe (data, cache, dalvik and system, plus a factory reset) and I have the same problems on n15. I too have offered to try and debug but I'm unsure of what to collect, and when.

One thing that I have noticed is it seems to be (and this is only from observation) that my phone will be fine for a long time running with Bluetooth turned on, but at some point Bluetooth seems to either crash, or stop, and you can't restart it, and then the lag will hit. There will also be a wakelock on 'bluesleep' which drains the battery after bluetooth crashes. The only way to fix it for me is to reboot, and if Bluetooth comes up and stays up, it will be fine, if it doesn't, the lag will return pretty quickly. I have a Tasker task to notify me if Bluetooth goes off, but I don't know yet if it will trigger when it crashes, I only tested it by manually turning it off and on. If it does work, I can then write a script to trigger to gather whatever logs would be relevant, if someone (cvd? topprospect?) can tell me what would be good info to have in this case.
