P A C man ALL IN 1

As [MENTION=2533313]faust93[/MENTION] is going to be maintaining Official PAC for this device now onwards, I will not be maintaining this thread anymore! Though you can still find my builds on my goo account ;)​

Description

After months of work, the long awaited PACman 4.2 rom is ready for public released. This is still work in progress WIP and there are many missing parts. Though the rom is rock stable for average users. We are working on it daily to fill the missing parts.

Now what is PACman? The idea was to remove the need for a hunt of rom and cure flasholicsm by providing everything xda has in rom development in a single bloat free rock stable rom. This is the FIRST rom of its kind with a hybrid framework consisting on cm10.1, AOKP and AOSPA. What makes PACman unique is this perfect blend of all of these. Be informed PACman is not a "git cherry-pick blahblah yeee i am a dev donatezzz me" rom. It took a LOT of work of thinking behind to merge the frameworks in the right order.

PACman FAQ​

PIE FAQ

Q. What is PIE?

A. PIE is a new way to interact with your notifications. It provides easy gesture based interaction with all your system information without taking up valuable screen space. PIE is what you see in this image.

Q. How do I access Pie?

A. Swipe your finger from the pie gravity edge (default is the bottom) toward the center of your screen. While keeping your finger on the screen, drag your finger to the desired button and release to click.

Q. My PIE doesn't look like the ones in the screenshots. I don't see the Clock or notifications.

A. Notifications work either through the status bar or PIE. If the status bar is enabled, PIE reverts to just the softkeys. To enable the full PIE experience, enable Expanded Desktop by going to Settings -> System -> Power Menu -> Expanded Desktop (Status bar hidden). Access the power menu and turn Expanded Desktop on.

Q. How do I change PIE colors?

A. Go to Settings -> Hybrid Properties -> Interface and change the Navigation bar color.

Q. Buttons or keyboard rows near the edge of my screen are nonresponsive.

A. PIE's trigger area overlay is covering the edge of your screen. Change either the Trigger Area or Pie Gravity in Settings -> System -> PIE Settings.

Q. I don't like PIE, how do I turn it off?

A. To disable PIE set Trigger Area to None in Settings -> System -> Pie Settings. Remember to disable Expanded Desktop to turn status bar on again.

ROM FAQ

Q.Do I need to do a full wipe before installing this ROM?

A. Unless coming from a previous version of PACman it is highly recommended to do a full wipe before installing. This includes coming from ParanoidAndroid ROMs.

Q.What do the settings in Hybrid Properties do?

A. ParanoidAndroid has an extensive guide to the settings at this thread: [GUIDE][PARANOIDANDROID] A Complete Compendium on ParanoidPreferences [PA-Settings] Please do not post questions related to PA Settings in this thread, they are not ROM specific and all we'll do is point you to that thread.

Q.How do I turn on the Navigation Bar??

A.To enable the NavBar open Hybrid Properties, swipe the screen to the right to peek through to the menu.

Select Interface, now set your desired NavBar size with the slider.

Q.Something isn't working. What do I do?

A. First, make sure you are running the latest stable version. Try a backup data using Titanium and do a full wipe reinstall. If the problem persists, report what it is and what triggers it so the dev can duplicate it.

Q.What is a Experimental Build?

A. Experimental Builds are Linaro builds including O3 strict-aliasing optimizations with highly optimized TWRP recovery and a Over and Under clocked Recovery. They may get updated every week or so. These Builds can be potentially harmful to your device and are not supported by the dev by any means

Q.Can we flash this on Locked Bootloader?

A. No, This requires custom kernel and can never be flashed on locked bootloaders

AT&T has been rolling out 4.1.2 update for jellybean. I received my notification for an update a few days ago. Can any report WifiTether_TrevE_Mod working with with lastest AT&T OTA update? ﻿ I am scared to update to the new version of jellybean. I have also heard Android 4.1.2 update makes it easy for carriers to identify and block tethering! Is this true?

I am currently running 4.1.1
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] acejavelin:
So here is the deal... I have been a Verizon customer for years, and I am just sick and tired of them jerking me around and upping their rates, taking away unlimited data, taking away early upgrades, etc. So I am thinking of jumping ship and going to Net10. I am currently using the HTC Rezound which seems to be roughly roughly equivalent to the Skyrocket (Yes, I know I will not get true 4G/LTE on Net10, only HSPA+). I can get a new, sealed in the box Galaxy S2 Skyrocket (SGH-i727) for about $210 on eBay.

So where I am going with this, knowing Samsung has had quality models and, well, lets just say questionable models, how is the Skyrocket? Is it solid and relatively problem free? How is battery life, is it easy to unlock, root, ROM, return to stock, etc? Has anyone used this on Net10/StraightTalk?

So basically I am just looking for people's opinion of the phone in general, from a heavy phone users perspective... My other alternative's at this time are a new unlocked HTC Vivid which I can get new for just under $200, or just suck it up and grab a Nexus 4 from Google, although the $350+tax and shipping for the 16GB model would hurt, a lot, right now.

Thoughts?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bps119:
I, along with most other power users here in the skyrocket forum will tell you that this is a great device. Rooting, rom-ing, and general modifications are a breeze as long as you read the stickies and have an ounce of common sense. Battery life is subjective to individual use, but I generally get around 12-15 hours with 3-5 hours screen on time. This can be extended significantly with a nexus extended battery and a minor modification (see accessories section for details). Hardware wise it it solid. The only common issue we've really seen is the power button failing for some users, I've had mine since it was released though with no issue so far. We have official support for CM, Slim Bean, PACMAN, and Avatar ROM (maybe more but I can't remember off hand), and ports or unofficial builds of just about everything else you'd want. Also, 4.3 is being worked on hard by our fine devs, and it seems that external speaker audio is the only thing preventing a beta release for most roms at the moment.

The community is, for the most part, knowledgeable and willing to assist with any problems you have as long as you attempted to do your homework first.

Any other questions, let me know. Otherwise, I'll extend a tentative welcome to the Skyrocket family. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] acejavelin:
Thanks for the info!!! I really appreciate it!!!

One more quick question, does the Skyrocket use a standard sized SIM, or one of the newer micro-SIMs?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mtdew:
Standard.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unni_kmr:
One issue bothers me a lot. I cannot use the phone for navigation for more than 2 hours even with car charger connected. In about 2 hours, it drains out fully. My latest theory is that after about 30 mins of charging, the battery starts heating up, and so it stops charging.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mtdew:
User error or bad unit I have zero issues with my GPS or car charging. Also what amperage is your car charger capable of outputting.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unni_kmr:
I am not 100% sure in terms of the amperage. But I tried with a car charger capable of charging a laptop, using the wall charger and cable which came with the phone. I was sitting in the passenger seat, phone was in my lap (not mounted in windshield) and Google Maps was running in navigation mode. For the first 15 minutes or so, I saw that the phone was charging. The charge level increased by 1% or 2%. After I think 20 minutes, it stopped charging. CPU-Z app was showing battery status as

health: over heated or heated (don't remember clearly the text)

power source: connected

status: not charging or discharing

Phone's back was very hot. I unplugged the USB cable and connected it back, and it started charging again! I waited for it to cool down, removed the phone case, repeated this and got the same result.

This is why I believe the phone is doing something to protect it from over heating. I am not sure though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] acejavelin:
Well, I placed my order and should have my Skyrocket by the end of the week, and already have my Net10 SIM and $50 Unlimited card! So basically I am saying you will see more of me around here in the future. Thanks again bps119!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mtdew:
Amperage is important son too little it will discharge, I think it will limit if too much. Nav can cause some heat for some of these guys but I've never heard of it getting that high my guess is something was wrong.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unni_kmr:
Sorry for off topic. Can you please recommend a charger, preferable the one you are using?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] acejavelin:
I have gotten my last few chargers at Sam's Club, they are about $10, and are rated at 1A@5vDC.

In an older phone I had a similar issue where my phone would overheat and not charge properly, once I got a new charger I cut the end off the old one and read the voltage with a meter, it was putting out almost 7.1v (should be 4.75-5.25vDC for USB 1.0-2.0 standard, and 5.25-5.75vDC for USB 3.0), pretty sure that is what caused it... cheap components equals cheap quality and flaws. Current rating should be irrelevant, as long as it meets the devices minimum requirements (most modern phones are 1A@5vDC), even if a charger is rated at 2, 3, or even 5 amps, the device should not draw more than it can handle. Current is drawn, not pushed, a device will draw the needed current at the expected voltage, you can't really "over-current" a device by using a power source that is rated at the proper voltage but a higher current. Similar instance can occur by using a charger that has too low of a current rating, the device will try to draw more current than the adapter is rated at and the adapter will eventually fail or fall out of specifications.

Some other good chargers are by Anker, PowerGen, or RAVPower, and of course a Samsung branded adapter will work well, most all of these can be purchased for $8-$15 on Amazon. If the adapter is not rated with a current rating, then skip it, it is probably only 600ma-750ma and will be more headache than it's worth in the long run.

Just like to say great. I love my skyrocket. Over clocked at 1.78ghz and 320mhz gpu . great performance. Also with nexus extended battery for $6.50 at sprint. I have no reason to buy another phone. Welcome to the skyrocket community.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sultanxda:
I have an HTC Sensation and today I rooted my friend's Skyrocket. I must say, EVERYTHING about the Skyrocket amazed me in terms of performance, ease of use, and quality even though it's very similar in hardware specs to my own phone (both are MSM8x60). Rooting the phone only took about 3 minutes (installed TWRP; there was no locked-bootloader crap to deal with) and the colors on the touchscreen are wonderful, not to mention the sensitivity of the screen is great as well. The Skyrocket has official CM10.1 going for it so I installed that and it's fantastic; everything runs perfectly. Even while using the kernel included in CM10.1 the device was very fast but when I overclocked it, the performance blew me away, not to mention the phone didn't heat up at all (even while gaming!); compared to that, my HTC hits 70°C while gaming on CM10.1 at stock CPU/GPU frequencies. Rooting my friend's Skyrocket today has thoroughly convinced me to never buy an HTC again :p Also, the Skyrocket has great dev support seeing as how CM10.1 is official for it.

TL;DR: The Skyrocket is way better than your HTC and, in terms of development, it's not gonna die any time soon.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] technoid1964:
The Skyrocket (and several other Samsung phones) need special "type 2" chargers. Apple charges are type 6, so if it says compatible with Apple, don't use it as it may not work. If the two center pins on the USB port doesn't have a 50 ohm resistor across them (or not shorted) , the Skyrocket will only draw 350 mA. Samsung and older Curve BlackBerry chargers have the resistor. At 350 mA, the phone draws more than the charger is providing, and the charger circuitry heats up trying to keep up with demand.

Jrockttu has a great thread under General called "Fix your Skyrockets battery life"

I've MOD'd all of my chargers, now my phone is happy with the screen on all day while driving and it stays charged, or charges slowly...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Frogacuda:
I recently got rid of my Skyrocket. It was a good device, but a bad phone. The built-in microphone is terrible, people were always screaming that they couldn't hear me unless I used a headset. The signal was poor too, and I would often not receive calls (with no missed call notification or anything).

The Cyanogenmod support is good, and for an old device it runs plenty smooth and plays all the games I throw at it. So it's not bad in that regard. But the actual phone functionality was a real problem for me.

Well, my Skyrocket arrived, looked great and appeared to be "new"... I fired it up and everything looked fine, but it wouldn't recognize the SIM card, just said "NO SIM INSTALLED - EMERGENCY CALLING ONLY" and wouldn't let me do anything in mobile networks at all (said something about must be registered to a network first), so I popped in an actual AT&T SIM, same result, and both SIM cards work in my old HTC Aria. Called the guy I bought it from on eBay, have to send it back and he will send me another new one. Hope this isn't a bad omen. :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bps119:
That sucks man, kinda takes the excitement out of getting the new phone. Oh well, forget it ever happened and hope that it was just a fluke.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rccar:
Honestly, you'll love the skyrocket. I've had mine for a little over a year and a half and it's more up-to-date than my girlfriend's s3. It's faster and lasts longer on battery as well. Although her s3 isn't rooted, being a newer device, you would think it would work better than mine. Not the case!

If you're trying to unlock your phone, there is an unlocking thread you could check out, although I'm not on touchwiz so I couldn't do it, others have had success with it so you shouldn't have to worry there. We're a great community, just like we've been when I first rooted a year and a half ago. Enjoy!

Get an s3 at least the skyrocket looks and feels old the battery life sucks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] SKyRocKeting727:
TBH, the skyrocket battery is way too small. I suggest getting spare batteries or an extended battery. It will NOT last through the day. Other then that, I don't see why the Skyrocket isn't a good phone for the price. If I were you, I would've gotten the Nexus 4 instead but you can't go wrong with either.

You have to learn how to set up your phone the right way to get good battery life!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] acejavelin:
LOL... Bad battery life? From what I have heard 15-20 hours battery life with 3-5 hours of screen time. If that is correct then that sounds amazing to me, my current HTC Rezound averages 12 hours battery life with 1.5 hours of screen time, and if I am using it heavily I am usually looking for a charger by noon. For the Rezound I carry 2 spare batteries, an external battery charger, a car charger, and an A/C charger... So what other users are reporting for the Skyrocket sounds really, really, good to me in comparison.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mtdew:
I've been around the rocket a long time. Skyrocketing727 I've never seen him around so his opinions can be taken with a grain of salt and intelextreme has been known to prove his ignorance publicly on a regular and any comments from him should promptly be disregarded.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jd1639:
With the right Rom and setup the battery on the rocket is pretty decent. The 15 to 20 hours and 3 to 5 screen on is pretty doable.

My experience

On Laza Cell extended battery I often get a couple of days with medium usage (phone and screen time) and always a full day even with heavy usage.

http://www.amazon.com/Laza-3800mah-...376075428&sr=8-2&keywords=Laza+cell+skyrocket

Has the extra hump / bump on the back. But it works well and carries big extra charge.

I've been much happier with this battery than the stock. Real necessary for the power user.

It is absolutely critical that you read Jrockttu's post here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1759541

I use an HTC DC charger in the car. It charges properly at full A/C charge to the Skyrocket. Also make sure you download the Skyrocket Charger Info App appropriate for your version of Android.

Also use CPU Spy and make sure your device is going into Deep Sleep when not in use.

Also download the XDA Better Battery Stats App and investigate all Partial Wakelocks.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004YX4HDU/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002TOKTHO/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The above are very cheap and verified to work thoroughly with Skyrocket. I use them myself.

If you're not getting "A/C charging" on the road and being delivered at 800-900 mA or better you need a better charger.

Also, note that some MicroUSB cables stink for charging and/or don't charge your device properly. Try different cables.

Wall charger I use that works well:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0085IDEBG/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Good quality sync and/or charge cable I use with the above wall / portable adapters:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004GF8TIK/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Bottom line if you don't troubleshoot your battery usage for your ROM you will likely have problems. You need to know what's causing wakelocks and nip them all in the bud and then you will be very happy with the device. If you don't do this extra work, you will likely find that the device will chew through battery quickly. The folks that complain don't know how to successfully manage and set up their device to sleep successfully and to configure applications and other functions to not suck battery from the device.
