GSM Connection

Folks - does anyone know how to get GSM connectivity on a Touchwiz ROM?

I am on ATT and it forces a 4G or 4G LTE connection.

On a Cyanogen based ROM, there was a workaround... one could go into "Mobile Networks" --> "Network Operators" and select the last AT&T connection (i always had 3) and then switching between 2g/3g/4g LTE was a snap.

But on the TouchWiz based rom, you cannot select the mobile operator. Anyone know a fix?

Thanks in advance.

This ROM has not been supported in over a year, suggest moving on to something else.

Hey there, the 3.1 kernel is missing in action... the link is dead. I've had the problem of being stuck on the Cymbaline screen twice in the last week -- Once from a battery pull and most recently when the phone crashed and rebooted itself. The only way I could fix it the first time was by wiping since I couldn't find the 3.1 kernel. I've searched Google for it and found nothing but your links. Can you possibly re-post it?

Thanks!

Any suggestions? I used CM for a while, but the bluetooth issue has never been resolved with the Skyrocket, so I gave up. Need to use a stock-based rom. I really like this one, but I've gotten the boot freeze issue 3 times now over the last few months causing me to have to factory reset the rom each time... quite a hassle.

Would love to find a well-supported Skyrocket rom with working bluetooth. Probably a tall order these days since the Skyrocket is aging. Unfortunately, I'm stuck with this phone for a while.

more info

* kernel is 3.8 (copy and paste error :))

* All notification alert toggles are in ROMCustomizer -> Statusbar -> Statusbar

(you need to reboot)

* All text color can be changed (I should have changed the default, figured people can change it to whatever they need)

* Yes, the signal cluster color is only for text mode..changing drawables was causing memory leak, I might change that later..

+1 Wi-Fi indicator issue. Not a big deal though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mohan_kr:
Performance Options

I will update the OP. For Performance options, here is the deal, the ROMCustomizer needs "su" permissions. So you need to make sure ROMCustomizer has "su" permissions via the SuperSU app. (The first thing in the Post Installation task is to *ensure* SuperSu is configured correctly)

2) After that, make sure to push the "Apply" button, you must..

3) The ROMCustomizer execute late in the boot process (actually last)

Most of the time, people who run into this issue I found:

* Doing some sort of fix permissions (don't know why?), which would result in either the su binary losing the setuid bit and hence bunch of things going wrong.

* replacing busybox and associated permissions. I have the latest version of compile busybox in there and is included with the ROM (probably a standard defacto for any custom ROM)

* Forgetting to push the "Apply" button..

It's sticking for me.. About the WiFi indicator, will look into it, must have creeped up when I was refactoring my build..

OK sorry now I AM having issue. Left the phone on overnight to test deepsleep. GREAT! But to start off the day, I popped the battery out and put in a new one. Stuck at "Cybaline" screen, not even the boot animation. I changed one setting to turn off boot audio. That's it. Panicking...

Everything is o.k., running smooth as expect but one bizarre issue keeps coming back.

Every time I reboot, the Android is Upgrading operation comes out and it optimizes the same 40 apps or so, each time the phone is rebooted.

I flashed per instructions, no issues here , great Rom, feels smoother than 6.11

Just one thing I can't find is the theme change, probably I am missing it and eventually make a fool of. ;)

Install via TWRP. Working flawlessly, not sure if you made any tweaks but this seems to run smoother and feels more responsive.

The boot image is fantastic!

Is there a way we could get a "lime green" Embryo theme?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unibombz:
That may have been an older one. I have used that since Embryo 3 days or so, never an issue with using those scripts. I rarely use them but they have not given me issues, with any ROM install. (I understand your point though)

I did re-download yesterday and flashed everything OK. Loved the battery icon is back. I was not a fan of the theme orange myself, and did try for fun to flash the stock theme zip. I did that and got system UI FC's, lost the system bar, ROM Customizer, call settings, quick toggle settings under the 'quick links' section. This was flashing without use of the scripts you saw in the log.

Being this was an official build and not a leak, I was hoping to see some of the voice commands work for the phone on this build of JB, they did not. Regardless wanted to try. The ROM is blazing fast, I will see when if future builds come out and flash later on. For now 6.11 is very stable and solid, didn't see much difference from 6 to 7... yet. I will run with it for a while longer for now and keep my eyes on the thread here.

Awesome work and appreciate the response !

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 3rdcoast:
For sure a new launcher is needed for these kinds of things...

I'm going to wait until the finalized change log and what not that happens. I was on it on 6 and am giving it a 4.2 for a little while but I know I'll go back to a 4.1 until it gets better. I'm happy that a proper 4.1 isn't abandoned yet.

I was hopeful the incesent message that your phone is charged when on a dock was repaired by Samsung. But alas..

Still well worth the upgrade.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mohan_kr:
orange theme update..

* Orange Theme update only for the WiFi in out indicator bug available in Post #2. (note: if you are

running Stock theme aka TouchWiz, you don't need to update).

* Been updating the OP.

* Folks wanting DPI changes, will provide Xposed add-on. But performance will suffer, hence will *never* be part of the core package. (Same thing with PDroid).

This looks like a Toggle candidate, may provide one in next rom update.

Ok guys I posted about getting the "Cymbaline" screen this morning and didn't get a response so I flashed over to the other Fresh N Slim ROM and got a similar issue with the same steps so it's not this one and I thik has to do with the TW or base in intself. So I found this only occurs when I BATTERY PULL instead of going through the power menu and properly shutting it off. When I battery pulled on the Fresh N Slim, I got stuck at the lit up "Samsung" logo, on Embryo 7 it's the "Cymbaline" screen. Has ANYONE battery pulled while the phone was running and been able to boot? Or am I the only one. I restored twice to retrigger the problem and sure enough it gets stuck every time after a battery pull. When I restored a third time and went through power menu and shut off, and THEN turned it back on, it boot up in seconds no problem. Can soemone try to replicate on Embryo? I recommend backing up...

Hey Mohan, I'm having a bit of an issue. I was cooking dinner tonight when I tried to go into the clock app and set a timer. The clock app opened fine (I even used it last night for an alarm with no issues), however, when I touched the timer tab, the app froze and force closed. I figured it was a glitch, so I went to open it again and the same thing happened when I selected the timer tab. A third time, the same thing happened when I selected the stopwatch tab. No big deal, I thought, I'll grab a logcat after dinner.

After dinner, I powered up the laptop, opened the cmd prompt, and plugged in the phone via usb. Although usb debugging was selected in dev options, the computer couldn't see it in adb. I thought it may be a glitch, so I turned off dev options, and turned it back on. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the Samsung drivers, but it still wouldn't read it. I know that I was doing it correctly because I backed up embryo rom (including preload partition), and restored the slim build I was on before flashing embryo and, once it booted, I was able to see the device in the previously opened adb window through the "adb devices" command and grab a logcat immediately on the slim build.

Any ideas of what may be happening? Has anyone else been able to grab logcats for you with build 7? Other than the clock app, and the inability to see the device in adb, the Rom has been running perfectly, and battery life was great. I can't figure out why I couldn't get usb debugging to work, even after trying to troubleshoot for a couple of hours.

Similar experience on Embryo 6.11 the other day. Misbehaving app froze the phone. Battery pull only got me to the lit up Samsung logo. Managed to access recovery and restored a backup via TWRP. Moral: extended press of the power button rather than a battery pull in times of need.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mohan_kr:
- Timer is working fine here on my end?

- Hopefully you didn't have the USB fast charge on? That will disable adb.

- Are you on Windows 8 ? Not that it matters, since you say it works fine in when you installed slim rom. But I know I had to manually install the adb drivers..

If you need logcat w/o adb. Install catlog from Play store. Start the recording session, start the timer when it FC's stop the recording and pastebin. This sounds more like something was removed or changed from the base install. Anyways, FC's are good since the log will tell you everything.

PDroid although not as bad as Xposed from a performance perspective (since Xposed is purely reflection based), it still an issue as a *lot* of low level calls are intercepted and checked for access. So e.g. everytime a location coordinates are needed, that call is intercepted, checked with the PDroid policy database and then a denied or success data is returned. I believe they do some optimization, but it's still a "call"..

That's interesting, some persistent store that is required for bootup w/o proper shutdown is probably messed up. But I think just "long pressing" the power button should let you recycle the boot, instead of restoring from backup..

Believe me haha I've tried all different methods...Long press to recycle the boot, boot up recovery and clear caches/fix permissions (little hope there), even restoring just the "boot" of a nandroid (no idea if that would work. it didn't). The only thing that works is full wipe and restore or reflash lol. Spent forever restoring stuff 4 times today lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ChillFactorz:
I had the same issues on 6.11 I posted a logcat pulled from within recovery, not sure if it was looked at or if it helped pinpoint a problem.

I was told by someone else it was due to the preload not properly being wiped, before the Embryo install.

Suggestions were odin to the official AT&T JB build then start from there, reroot, install custom recovery, install embryo. This is what did, and no longer have any issues, I can now pull the battery (hard reboot) with no issues. Another suggestion was to wipe preload within TWRP 2.5.0.0, before installing the ROM. I didn't try this method but it sounds a whole lot easier.

Can anybody confirm that twrp will properly wipe preload to prevent this hard reboot issue?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bps119:
I'll try catlog. The only thing I can think is that I installed with twrp, and I have restored some data on a couple of apps. All else was exactly as stated in the op. If fast charge is enabled by default, then that could be it, I have never used it before though so, unless I accidentally toggled it, I don't think it was on. Where would that setting be located?

I'll restore tomorrow morning and see if I can't get those logs through adb or catlog app. You want me to post them here, or are you confident that I most likely broke something at some point and another clean install should correct it?

I only restored user apps, and I only restored data on 3 of those (tapatalk, msecure password manager, and beautiful widgets). I don't think that the restore was the issue, but I'm running out of options.

One other possible reason for my issue could have something to do with the preload partition. I can't remember if it was ever wiped when I went back to aosp after having the initial leaked jb rom mohan_kr provided for us. I'll try to do that later and will post back with results. I doubt I will stray too far from slim for too long, but the issue with not being able to grab a logcat is making me angry and I'm curious to see where I may have gone wrong.

I have also pulled battery while booting this morning... stuck at cymbaline screen... deleted caches and all in recovery still a no-go. Had to wipe data and restore all my apps and SMS&MMS during school. Good thing I had backed everything up last night! As long as you don't do a battery pull during boot, this ROM works fantastic.

Only one thing I've noticed, however. Taking a picture then pressing share to send through MMS makes the screen go back for me for like 10 seconds after pressing "send" and my messaging app will lock up until i close it from recent apps. The picture will still send though.
