Hey guys, I used 6.0 for several months and loved it. Went ahead and updated to 7.0 last week.

At first I had the reboot issue where it got stuck at the Cymbaline screen. I reflashed but this time flashed the theme in the same session and haven't had the issue since.

Issues I am having (not really issues I guess but moreso inconveniences) are:

The network roaming notification is permanently in my notification bar

Customizations to change the color of the sound, wifi, and signal icons do not work. The circle battery icon color will not change either. Someone posted earlier that the circle battery icon is one that will change colors but I have had no luck with that.

Lastly, which actually is more of an issue than just a theming issue, is that bluetooth is very hit-or-miss. Many times it never will even turn on and the few times it does turn on, it bombs after a few minutes. Any ideas or thoughts on that?

Thanks guys. I appreciate the work on the ROM and keeping my dear old SII somewhat relevant... :)

Currently running 10.1.2 stable and I have an unlock code so when I go out of country tomorrow I can unlock and get a new SIM.Will I have to go back to this Rom to get the code unlock screen to show or will aosp work?

Your best bet would be temporarily restoring to stock. Check the sticky posted by vincom if you need a hand as to how.

Decrypt External SD Card

I finally experienced the joy of getting stuck on the Cymbaline screen. No, I didn't pull the battery at any time. Long press of the power button only brought me back to the lock-up. A true fubar. Fast forward to now.

My external SD card is encrypted, but after I reverted to stock and then flashed Embryo 7, the device doesn't see the card as being encrypted. I can't decrypt it to access my latest nandroid.

Anyone have an idea how to decrypt an SD card when the phone doesn't recognize it as being encrypted?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] alan7825:
Do you have a SD reader on you computer or a USB SD card reader? You can try to bring up the SD card on your computer and see if it is still encrypted. You may be able to decrypt it using software on your computer if you used a password to encrypt. If that doesn't help, then you may have to format SD card and do a TIB restore, IF you have TIB storing files on you internal SD.

Maybe there is someone who has a different approach but that's the only thing I can think of.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Jack45:
I do have an SD reader which, of course, reflects the files as still being encrypted. My nandroid and TIB are on the SD card, which leads me to strongly recommend that lurkers do NOT encrypt their sh*t using the default android decryption process.

So, now my dream is to find a third-party (or Android) decryptor that will deal with the phone's built-in encryption scheme separate from the device (using the reader as the host).

P.S. Before my fellow forum members start feeling sorry for me (right?), I was smart enough to create a pre-encryption nandroid dated early June just in case - a lifetime ago in device years. I've reverted to that, but a current nandroid would be "more better."
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] berniesteven:
Did you install a different rom to see if it could see the card? I would try cm10.1 and gapps, don't sync to save time, and cross my fingers. Good luck.

SGH-I727 - Peace
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Jack45:
No, I've only installed the stock ROM and Embryo flavors and none recognize the card a being encrypted, even though the pre-fubar environment did. After I complete my updates to the early-June nandroid I'll back it up internally, or to another clean external card and will then give cm10.1 a shot.

Ya know, I'm really surprised that I've been unable to find a way to decrypt the card without using the device's built-in process. You'd think that there's a Plan B out there somewhere that would say "aha!, I recognize your format. User - just enter your password and I'll deal with it for you." Haven't found it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ChillFactorz:
Have you tried copying the files to your pc via Windows media sync then back to your card?

If you create a file while encryption is on, that file will remain encrypted, even after you turn encryption off. If you copy the file to a pc, the pc will bypass the android encryption.

I suggest backing up the card before doing anything. Maybe trying one or two files first, as a test.

Now, on a Embryo 7 development note, ............
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Jack45:
If I were able to bypass the encryption process utilizing such a simple work-around, I wouldn't have encrypted the SD card in the first place.

Anyway, not worth pursuing. I've re-built the phone using and older, non-encrypted backup as the base. Couldn't fool with this any longer as the device needed to be ready for the work week.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Skip-Breezy:
On the lock screen, it still shows that I have a text message notification when I don't (I use chomp sms instead of the regular app). I turn off the notification on the regular messaging app. What to do?

Getting back to normal when stuck on boot screen

I don't know if this will help anyone or even matter much but here goes:

I too have been getting random reboots and frozen boot screens, even with Cymbaline 3.5 instead of 3.8. What I have done each time is reinstall the "Cymbaline 7.x-theme-orange-upgrade-1" WITHOUT any wipes and then flash 3.5 right afterwards. Then I reboot. It loads right back to normal with no loss of apps or data. Emails, texts, etc. are all there. Works like a charm for me. Just sayin'
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] alan7825:
Is this the death of 7.0??

I love this ROM and was hoping someone would pickup where Mohran left off with the boot freeze issue. No one has posted in a while so I am going to guess this rom is going to die a slow death. Anyone working on a fix?:confused:

After installing 3.5 kernel been running rock solid for weeks now...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Jack45:
If you'd like some adventure and the thrill of the unpredictable, go with 7.0. I've had lock-ups during the boot sequence with the Cymbaline 3.8 and 3.5 kernels. If you

do

upgrade(?) to 7.0, keep a current nandroid handy on your phone and become proficient at booting into recovery, so that when the lock-up does happen you'll be able to effect a restoration with relative ease.

It's important to note that I was on 7.0 for a long time before the first lock-up occurred, so users should not become filled with satisfaction if it hasn't yet happened to them. Tick tock, tick tock.

Yeah....he definitely got an iPhone then. Probably walked into the phone store all geared up to get an S4 and the iPhone 5 was there calling to him. Salesman made him a little deal.....and boom! An apple user now. And after using the iPhone a couple weeks....and it running very nice and not needing to be played with or allowed to be played with......his desire to mess with phones just faded away.

Farewell Mohan! Thanks for your work! And a tip.....you still can't really do crap to it if you jailbreak, so may as well not bother. ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hellfreezover:
Hi,

I've been using 7.0 from the day it was launched, I never had a random boot, lockup it is simply the best stable custom Rom u can get, I also use the latest cymbaline and it is perfect, undervolt and overclock will bring dazzling battery life....

I would go with 7.0, and if 4.3 was in the hood for SR by mohan I will go blindfolded :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] alan7825:
Yeah, I am with you. Nandroid has to be current. It is a shame cuz I love this ROM but I cannot afford to have it lock-up in the middle of the night and my alarm not go off for work. The risk is too great.

I hope Mohan enjoys his iPhone and their lock down.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
Definitely not worth the risk in my opinion. And even thou some people swear by it I found 6.11 to be flaky. AOSP based beanstalk has proven quite reliable so Im happy with that til 4.3 is super stable, or i get a new phone, whatever comes first

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] notiones:
I've been running 7 on the 3.0.74 Cymbaline kernel and UCLK4 radio for some time now with only one issue. The phone works flawless, otherwise. When I installed this ROM, way back when, it was just going to be for a couple of days but, because it worked so well, it has been my daily driver ever since. The only issue, and I am in no way complaining, is that the gallery will sometimes close when you try to attach a picture from inside the messaging app. I simply go to the gallery and send from there instead. I'd be interested to see if anyone else can get the same stability from this configuration.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Tweakecho:
Dead thread that won't die anyway.... Dev has moved on..and ROM has an eventual partition corruption problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mtdew:
[MENTION=555039]Tweakecho[/MENTION] can you explain "eventual partition corruption" to me. I mean as technically as possible how does it happen on this ROM. If you don't know what causes it you can't prove its the ROM at which point I'd say shut your trap because you lack any technical knowledge or foresight to claim these things.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Tweakecho:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=42749682&postcount=479

see the words straight from the Dev of the rom... sorry if i offended you by spreading hearsay... in your elite "DEV" only thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mtdew:
That's not partition corruption like you were describing. That's a whole different can of worms thanks to Samsung. Don't pull the battery that seems easy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Tweakecho:
The whole point of the exchanges is that, while yes it was said Samsung did something... makes it "not work" but if someones phone battery gets to low, they can have these issues, and once they start the rom is no longer usable. Battery pull just quickens the issue, rather than waiting for a rom to reboot itself in the middle of the night...

This behavior does not exhibit itself on stock roms nor any other rom for that matter... it was fixed for some by using an older kernel.

Don't just be rude to someone without doing your own home work. You bash people every day for not "searching" enough. There are more than a few people with this problem we tried to assist mohan in every way to get to the root cause of the issue. He just moved on and there is no longer any support for this rom and wanted people that are to "busy" to read through all 600 posts to be aware of that. don't worry i'll move myself to back to the "lurker" category as to not interfere any longer... its not worth it.. in fact its why mohan is not here any longer.

the more we talk on this thread the more bumps it gets and the more people think this is an actively maintained rom when in fact it is a possibly troubled rom for some with no support.

Good Day Sir.

Error while restoring /system!

I had the same problem as many other users in the forum that the phone stuck at the "Samsung" logo. Many users mentioned that when they had this problem, they just restored from Nandroid. When I tried to restore from Nandroid, I got an error "Error while restoring /system!". I don't know why I got this error. In the same recovery session, I was able to create a full Nandroid backup just fine. But I was not able to restore the backup.

I am able to get my phone working again by reflashing embroyo 7.0 again. It's just a pain to setup everything again without being able to restore from nandroid. Anyone has any suggestions?

Edit: I am using the latest sk8 CWM recovery. I was also able to pick apps from my Nandroid backup to restore using Titanium Backup, which verifies that the Nandroid itself is fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rkub:
You need to read a little bit more of the thread. There are a lot of suggestions from different users for things that worked for them. For me it was changing the kernel. Read and try the suggestions for yourself and see what works best for you.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hellorenauldo:
I flashed with no issues. I used CWM touch 6033 and twrp 2.6.0.3 as well and was successful. If you are coming from a 4.2 or 4.3 rom, i think it would be best if you formatted the system as well as wiping from front to back before installing the rom. I always format system between rom flashes anyway. maybe that will help?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raptorddd:
more ino will do no harm... but if it hapenes just keep the power button on until it starts to vibrate and let go see if it goes into the rom... if not try severall times till you get it working ... i no loonger have hungs and if it happens i just do that and am fine....

my recomendation will be to go to stock rom with odin and do a new installation i flashed this rom for more than 17 times till now am good also my google play would not download so i had to install new google play...apk file and it worked... and i love this rom...

Good Afternoon All, 1st of all LET ME THANK YOU GUYS for the nice development of this ROM... I had try using many other roms and this is the one that really put butterflys on my belly.. Some how when I used CYANOGENMOD 10.X (their latest release) I could not access my removal SD card but with this ROM everything works perfect..

1) this one is dead, will not continue.

2) even if it wasn't, a 4.3 version could only happen if Samsung created a skyrocket 4.3 Rom, which I highly doubt will happen.

3) touchwiz is evil. ;)

... i really like this rom i dont like the other roms specially the ones that look like slim roms i tried it and didnt like it... is there something closer to this rom in 4.2.2. any suggestion preferably fast for gaming..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Smittiegee19:
The selection of touchwiz based ROMs are very small now. Finding a comparable ROM to embryo 7 may just be 6.x(whatever the last one was.) Other than that your going to he using CM based ROMs, which to me is the tits!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raptorddd:
i dont want to downgrade am looking at maui rom as alternarive .... but none of the cm10 4,2,2 are appealimg to me ----
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Texas_Ace:
Screw iphones. I have to agree with him though, Tried a lot of the CM roms and just found them less intuitive, less user friendly and some things just plain made no sense. Found myself trying to port back most of the touchwiz apps as there was nothing in the market that works as good as for example the TW phone app.

The CM phone app is all over the place with no clear workflow, it is easy to get lost in it when exploring. The TW is very straight forward and much more user friendly.

The kicker for me was when I realized there was no practical thing I could do with CM I could not do with TW.

For those wanting this rom, I tried it, it screwed up my partitions. I am now using the debloated stock TW rom which I have further debloated with TB. I am using the cybline kernel 3.5 and overall it seems to be working good. I can pull the battery with no fear of it not booting up next time.

Only issue I am running into is getting init.d support to work so I can run overclocking scripts on boot. I wish I could get the performance menu from embryo in that rom but that is about the only thing I miss.

If anyone knows how I could get the init.d support to work on the stock debloated rom I am all ears BTW. Have not been able to work on it in a while.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dakpluto:

Cool!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Texas_Ace:
I would honestly like to know what people like so much about CM? After hearing people rave about it for so long I gave it a try like I said above but found nothing in it that seemed an improvement over TW besides more cutomizability in some visual aspects for example.

So whats the pull for CM, why does everyone hype it so much and diss TW?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mindmajick:
Actually the "nothing in it" is the whole point. Tw contains way too many "features" that I'll never use. Each additional feature slows down the responsiveness of my device.

What I like about cm is the fact that it's "vanilla". If there is a feature I want- I install it. Otherwise it's just lean and mean. There's a reason it boots up SO much faster. No bloat.

Edit: a good dialer app BTW is dialer one.
