[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] amace04:
Hey all,

I just got ahold of a Rogers SGSII for the sole purpose of flashing and experimenting with.

I'm just curious, what are some of the more unique ROMs out there? I know we frown on "what's the best ROM" thread, but that's not what I'm asking. I know about some of the high performance ROMS, tha'ts not what I'm after. I'm looking for something that's truly different from Touchwiz or Stock Android. Doesn't have to have great battery life, or run completely flawless, but something cool and different. It's currently running CM10.1, looking to change it up a bit.

Any suggestions would be great.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hechoen:
This thread is uniquely veiled as worthless. With that said try flashing all the ROMS here. Then mix different parts of them together in your own build. That would be unique. And most likely not worthless. Good luck
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mtdew:
All of them are unique.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Tweakecho:
Avatar or paranoid android to start then pacman as it has lots of features from each branch. The first two will get you a different look and feel then try pacman.

Launchers play a large roll in how you interface with the rom . if you like a ROM maybe try a different launcher we all have our favorites.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lingowistico:
Most interesting rom is MIUI, Rogers Jellybean is right behind it and then Embryo.

[General Questions and Answers] WiFivomFranMan:
So someone at my kid's school stole her phone. They turned it off before I could get androidlost installed on it. So I have couple of questions

How can I get the Serial Number? It isn't on the box and ATT say they don't have it and wouldn't give it up if they did. We need this for the police report. I have the IMEI number.

Since I have CM 10 installed, just updated it last week, does the phone "phone home"? I am thinking they wiped the phone and stuck a different SIM in it. I am hoping the phone will connect back to CM no matter if the SIM changes or if there is a different google account on it using it IMEI id. If it does can I get any of the information to report to police to help catch them?

I'd love to send this person to jail. Even if it just for a few hours. If anyone has anymore ideas I am all ears.

thanks
[General Questions and Answers] camo_flage:
What phone is this?
[General Questions and Answers] sy224048:
Actually if they were unsure of what they were doing and they managed to wipe the phone they would probably mess the phone up entirely. So many problems arise when you factory reset on a rooted rom. You have to do it from recovery and you need to reflash the rom. Unless the thief wises up, they may have a useless phone
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsscx:
This Rom is pretty great,but for me there's some apps that can't be used in the Rom,for example,UC Browser,it can be opened,but when you click the sites,nothing will change,it means I cannot open the sites.But with cm10.1,aokp,and PACman,this app can be used.Codefirex Roms are just great,smooth and can be customized.So can you solve this problem?Or it just depends on the app itself:(

you have to download pit file so it can create a partition. download it and flash it together with the tar file of your desired firmware. i had the same problem but it couldn't create a partition as it is full bricked and i sent it for a warranty

What ROM and what Kernel did you use before it happened (Kernel version is also important)? And what did you mean with you got stuck? Details are important when you are dealing with cases like this.

I saw this kind of screen before, some guy had the same problem. However he couldn`t fix himself. Ever heard of Sudden Death?

No one has been successful with that method yet. The issue will be that the wear levelling bug has wiped out your eMMC and it needs replacing.

CM9 has no SDS fix.

All you can do is try and get warranty repair if you're still in warranty. Otherwise pay for a Mobo repair / replacement.

Same problem on a Galaxy S4 GT-i9500. A swollen battery caused this. The owner did nothing wrong unfortunately (unlike us wild bunch). The phone began Random restarting. Then the Reboot loop. Sometimes the phone even stays on for a while before rebooting again (i used this window to activate USB debugging).

Tried flashing to stock rom and i got NAND write fail. So i tried with the PIT as per this.

Downloaded the file from here or here (Winmerge confirms they're identical) and tried everything to no avail and ended up on this thread.

So it seems the motherboard needs to be changed. At least i've tried.

Thank you all.
