Switching from BeanStalk ROM to PACman ROM

Hey I am going to switch from BeanStalk to PAC 4.3. And I was wondering... I was looking at the repo where all the flashable .zip files are from PAC and I wasn't able to see "i727"... I saw all the version of the skyrocket except this one. So I scrolled down and it said "Skyrocket". Is it the version I need?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kiedlywiedis:
Yeah, I actually do have the black screen problem as well.. can take up to 5 seconds for the screen to come on sometimes. However, it's not specific to Carbon, I've had some iteration of that on just about every ROM I've been on, starting with CM9.

I will definitely look into the governor thing, thanks for your reply!

Edit: Just read that ondemand can be hard on battery life.. did you notice much of a difference?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Bleedos:
Noticed that battery life is not really what I could achieve with 4.2.2 and 4.3.1 ROMs. I was putting that on the fact that the alpha 2 is not really tweaked right now. But I could be wrong.

I remember using on demand with other Roms and battery life was OK for my phone use habit.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kiedlywiedis:
Just switched to ondemand. Will stick with it for a couple of days and see how it works out.

Thanks again!

Update: It doesn't seem to stick after reboot, even if I check the "set on boot" box. It changes back to interactive.. :(

Flashing problems

I used to be on the ProBam rom and everything worked fine until i flashed a vanilla nexus rom. After wiping and flashing my phone went into a bootloop so i went back to stock rom using odin. After that I reinstalled TWRP 2.6.3.0 and tried to flash ProBam again, though when flashing here were issues such as volume bar and status bar icons being too large. After that i kept trying to flash other roms yet they all ended up with the same problems. I then installed TWRP 2.6.1.0 to see if the problems would go away, which they didnt. I dont know whats wrong, can anyone help?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kiedlywiedis:
Well it's been three days, and your suggestion completely fixed my problem! I haven't had a single black screen and have had no wake-up lag at all. I haven't noticed any significant battery drain, either. Oh, and at first the setting wouldn't reset itself after reboot, but after trying a couple more times it finally did.

Anyway, thank you x1000. My phone is now as snappy and responsive as it's been on any other ROM and I no longer dread taking it out of my pocket because it might take forever to "wake up."
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Bleedos:
You're welcome!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] car vs driver:
I highly recommend using OnDemand governor - it really is the best one on the stock CM ROM. I've tried to change the default from interactive to ondemand in the CM source, but ... lets just say Cyanogen and I did not see eye to eye on that one.

Regardless, just use ondemand :)

skyrocket on 4.3.1

Well I was finally able to get back up done on my old 4.1.2 with Touchwiz (but I am not really sure where that backup went to on the phone) oh well Ill worry about that later. I used the CyanogenMod Installer to install the latest "stable" version of 4.3.1 on the skyrocket. So far all has gone well. Great work. I think the phone is a bit snappier over all than with 4.1.2 and I know the phone was at a dead end as it was an att phone now on tmob so forget updates.

The only issue I had is a few videos taken with the phone when I had the old 412 now will not play. I have tried google plus and a few other stock players but no go. the phone goes black and then reboots when I try to play them. I have done this a few times. Some videos I shot before the change over also work You tube also works. Anyone have any ideas? I think I have error reporting turned on

Also when will the CM app auto installer update my version automatically to 4.4? I assume that is the next jump form 4.3.1? Is that like 6 mo away? I dont see the skyrocket on betas for 4.4? Also I am too fearful of a beta given I have this video error with a stable version

Can I use prepaid Tablet SIM (T-mo or AT&T) in i727?

Hi,

I got a new Skyrocket and I'm checking out data only options. Here's what I've done so far.

Skyrocket is rooted stock TW JB & TWRP. I also have a Nexus 7 LTE tablet activated with the T-mo prepaid plan (w/free 200Mb/30day) which works well in the metro areas where I use it.

I used an adapter to install the T-mo sim into the Skyrocket. It showed the expected edge icon with 3-4 bars. I tried to run speedtest, with a couple different APN's but it couldn't connect and no other webpages would load.

Then, I flashed the JB Blaze 4G radio to the Skyrocket because there's no LTE or 1900Mhz refarm where I want to use it, and now it shows 3-4 bars with the 4G icon, but again won't connect.

Prior to flashing the Blaze radio, I also tried an active AT&T prepaid tablet SIM and got no access either.

Seems to me that signal isn't the issue. Both SIMs work perfectly in the tablet. I'm assuming that T-mo/AT&T are blocking access. Is there a workaround? I'm willing to try whatever will make it work. Settings, ROMs, etc. I have searched, but maybe I'm missing something. This "ask anything" thread seemed like an ok place to try and get some help.

I appreciate any guidance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] TheCybertronian:
You rooted but didn't unlock the radio for use on other carriers, there's an unlock method free in the general section or stickies.

Unlocked

Hi, Thanks for the response.

I should have been more specific. My Skyrocket is already unlocked.

Today I tested a friend's net10/T-mo sim and it works perfectly with the blaze radio, So there's no hardware issue.

It seems like the prepaid tablet sims are somehow locked to the N7. I know people swap Phone sims into tablets, so I assumed I could do the reverse. I am hoping it is a network setting fix or some kind of workaround.

Any other suggestions or input is appreciated

No Service on Beanstalk Beta Rom (kitkat)

Good day,

I have tested out all the current 4.4 alpha roms for the skyrocket. My favorite is the one from wantowan2, BeanStalk. There is just one huge problem, no service. The phone behaves like my sim card is not even there. Here is what ive tried for troubleshooting:

take out sim and put it back (no work)

try different roms(works for all)

reflash beanstalk (no work)

Thanks for the speedy response. Nope ,did not check apn. The service I meant is not service for data. I meant that my phone is not picking up signals from the service provider. I can not make calls, receive texts or use data plan. Its as if my sim card does not exist. However, different kitkat roms have signal. I flashed the latest CWM and the latest radio. Basically all 4.4 roms work...except the one I want :(

dec 13 update

Just got the Dec 13 upgrade on 4.3.1 skyrocket and unfortunately the video bug i still there. I tried all the players that it offers when I try to play the video and both cause the phone to reboot before the video starts playing. These are videos I took with the phone (when it was stock) before the upgrade to CM. Some of the videos dont have this problem but some do. Again all in the same format and all taken with phone before upgrade (not sure what the stock format is? MP4?) I dont know why some play and some dont. Could be a length issue. none of them are over 2 min. All the you tube stuff seems fine.

Otherwise the 4.3.1 "stable" version is working very smooth. I cant find any other problems. Phone is better than stock but the video issue is annoying.

ATT skyrocket on Tmobile (hopefully never to be sprint)

---------- Post added at 09:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:26 AM ----------

Ok I just tried something and I think I know the issue. its the orientation of the video. If taken in "landscape" view then it want to be played in landscape mode BEFORE you start replaying it. If video taken in portrait orientation then it wants to be played back in that portrait orientation. I tried that and it worked so that is a temp work around for me (and others?) but it may give you guys something to look at. again just my simple test but it did work. Otherwise the video played back very nicely with the stock player in 4.3.1 cm dec 13 build

Hello XDA!

I'm having the same problem as the quoted poster. I've flashed about 5-6 different ROMS (currently running CM 11 Nightlies), but I can't get Bluetooth HIDs to work right. I can connect to bluetooth speakers or headsets, but any attempt to pair to a keyboard, or a game controller, fails. It will "pair" to the device, but can't make a connection. I've tried flashing different ROMs. I wiped the SD clean. I've deleted the bt_config file a few times, too. Nothing works. Both the devices work fine on a buddy's S2, so I'm wondering if it's just a problem with Skyrocket in general.

Has anyone had better luck with their bluetooth devices? Any suggestions where I should go next?

Long time lurker who was scared of posting and getting flamed on here. Hope someone can help me out! :)

Is that something unique to the skyrocket? Other friend's phones were all running custom ROMS, seemed to have no trouble with BT. The fact that I have this same problem across *multiple* ROMS made me suspect that it was something else. Flashing the Stock JB just to rule it out though. Thanks.

MIUI Concerns

Hi I am currently running on MIUI from this thread: [ROM][4.1.2] MIUI v5 3.9.13 [PORT][Sep 15 '13]

I would've posted in that Dev thread but am new on here so I can't.

I have two concerns

1. When I flash the rom there are two gallery folders (I want to either freeze one or disable it, but wanted to know if anyone else has tried this/run into any problems when freezing stock items on this rom)

2. The google play store doesn't allow me to DL because it says "Waiting for Wi-Fi." This is the bigger concern for me because I am not always near wifi I can access whenever I try to download anything and am only using my 4g. I have read the Dev thread and no one seems to be experiencing the same problem. The play store is from "gapps-jb-20121011-signed" and was wondering if switching the gapps would help my cause.

Thanks for all your hard work on this thread.

10.2 to 11.0 on skyrocket

So are there some instructions already made up for "flashing" the CM 11 onto the skyrocket and removing the CM 10.2? The problem is is that is used the "CyanogenMod Installer easy-to-use app" to get the 10.2 on (over stock 4.1) and it seems pretty good. Id like to try the 11.0 and see if it has any "hiccups" that will force me back to 10.2. Plus the CM version I used automatically installed CM recovery (TWRP disappeared even though I had installed it first manually). I also cant seem to find my stock samsung touchwiz stuff anywhere (not that I want it back) as I used TWRP to manually back it up and it seemed to do that but then CWM recovery got put in over top of TWRP

So if I flash CM 11 I want to be able to get 10.2 back easily. Instructions for that? Also you always have to reinstall all your apps even if you use GAPPS..which I just figured out were core google apps you can load altogether

radios on skyrocket

I am on an ATT branded skyrocket but I successfully came over to tmobile with the phone (via sim change) and the att radio seems to be doing fine on tmobile's LTE and all steps below that. after I switched over I went from stock to CM 10.2 (4.3.1) via the CM installer. I see from these instructions http://www.teamchopsticks.org/p/cm110-release-notes.html that you need to install a new radio once you go to CM11.0. The question is which one do I install. The ATT one as the ATT radio is what I use now (as its an att branded phone) or the tmobile radio as I am now on their system?

I also note that CM10.2 (4.3.1) has not auto updated on the skyrocket since Dec 13 so I assume that 4.3.1 is a dead end now and all the work is going into CM11.0 (4.4.x)

I wish there was a way to use this http://beta.download.cyanogenmod.org/install to get from CM10.2 to CM11.0. Maybe once 11.0 is "stable"?
