im also testing my own 9/09, seems bt works but need todo more testing, bat life seems to suck but maybe need a couple of charging cycles
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rpr69:
BT works fine for me on one device (my Pebble). Within a few minutes of connecting in my car, it will crash, pretty much every time. Easily reproducible, and when TC is ready, I can provide logs.

As for battery life, I've been doing very well on that front. The biggest impact for me is using GreenPower to manage data. Using GreenPower I can end a full business day with oat least 50% battery left, that usually includes an hour of screen on time if not more. If you can live with slight delays with your data connection, I can highly recommend it. Disabling always on Wifi when sleeping helps as well.

Something big is coming...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raj3366:
If you are testing BT, you need to toggle it (off & on) once you are done with it. If not, it seems to drain battery. I toggle it before connecting to my car, and again when I get out of the car. Same routine with my Bluetooth headset - toggle when connecting and again when disconnecting. Only if BT completely hogs my phone, I go for a reboot. BTW am running beanstalk. It might work for cm too.

Yes, I know what it is for, I was pointing out that it was coming today. On that topic, you may or may not experience this, just thought I'd give a heads up, when you boot after installing the nightly with this feature, it will go through a 'first time setup' similar to when you install a ROM from scratch, asking you to create or login to your CM Account. I did not have one previously so I chose the create option, and there seems to be, at least for me, a bit of a bug, in that once you enter your email and password and click create, it will eventually come back and say you already have an account (even though you don't), and you can't continue, you have to skip that step. What is happening is that it sends an email to verify your email address, until you do that you can't login. If you are at a computer, you should be able to verify, and then continue the registration process on the phone, otherwise skip it, then once you have verified the address, go back and re-add the account and it should work.

Long press the file, then click "Compute checksum".

It doesn't give you the option to see them if you check the box beside the file then click the "actions" button.. Because that would be too easy.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rpr69:
I will take your word for it, as I have no easy way to test it. I don't see any commits that would have fixed it, but I'm not a developer, so take that with a grain of salt.

Just wanted to note for anyone running the multi-dpi 4.3.11 playstore that when you install the 9/12 NIGHTLY, this version of the playstore seems to break (at least it did for me). I just cleared the caches, reinstalled the latest gapps and all was well again. Now I'm not sure if this has more to do with a security change for apps, but it appears the standard playstore is ok with a different dpi setting (not getting the uncompatible device message like the playstore use to do on previous versions).

Okay I don't know what I did wrong I'm on 20130914 Nightly using TWRP 2.6.10 did a clean install from 20130913 and when I go to unlock the sim card on start up I tap on a number to enter pin their is a delay, the keypad number highlights in blue another delay the the number show up another delay then it shows a dot. It continues until all four numbers have been entered I then tap the enter key same thing a delay then sim unlocks. Everything is fine until I hit the power button to unlock/wake phone it starts with delay for everything. When I hold the power button down to power down or go into recovery nothing happens. Ive had the same problem with CWM 6.0.3.7. Does this mean my power button is going out? I've even tried a different custom rom (Carbon) and same thing. Any advise as to what else to try?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lavacano201014:
The delays on keypad entry wouldn't be caused by a faulty power button, but from something else using all your resources (mainly CPU).

You might have a file on your internal storage and/or SD card that's causing the Media Storage process to throw a fit - move everything off there onto your computer and see if that fixes it. If not, feel free to move it back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ozziedog:
Thanks I did all that removed micro SD and wiped everything even went back to stock no go. You maybe right power button is toast.:(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] gr8tech:
It could be your power button, but to me it sounds more like something is corrupted and causing problems, especially if it is happening across different ROMs. If it was the power button itself, you wouldn't be able to wake/unlock the phone at all, though the not being able to access the power menu is interesting. At the risk of asking a dumb question, just to cover all bases, when you flashed back to stock, did you Odin/Heimdall flash back to factory to to recover all partitions?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ozziedog:
Hey gr8tech I used both Kies and Odin but I think I found my problem it looks like it was not only a corrupt file but also a bad media/sd card. I went through 4 different cards I had until I found one that appears to be working. I'll let you know. Thanks:)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] onealvideo:
WOW! Really? 4 cards? If you don't mind me asking, what brand/size? Wonder if there is a correlation to the ROM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ozziedog:
They are old micro sd cards I used when I had the BlackBerry Bold 9000, just reformatted them. 1 SanDisk Class 10, 32GB FAT32, 1 Kingston Class 10 32GB SDHC FAT32, 1 PNY Class 4 16GB FAT32 and 1 SanDisk 64GB Ultra SDXC exFAT. Now I'm using a Kingston Class 4, 32GB FAT32, and so far its working but I hate the speed of Class 4.

The 64GB one just wont play well with my phone I tried both FAT32 and exFAT so I'm even trying to use it anymore. I have brand new 32GB Class 10 in Kingston, SanDisk and PNY and starting all over again I dont think its ROM related because I had problems with them when I went back to stock, I think the old cards just came to the end of the line:)

Ok, I'm always up for a new version but what do I get?

I'm not looking for how the wheel has been precision honed from the finest code available... I'm looking for device specific (skyrocket) what will I get when I install... I'm working on upgrading right now, and will report back my findings, but what have you seen that screams I want this?

The main really big issue that hits some people is bluetooth crashing when it connects to a car stereo. Other than that, I think most of the issues are relatively minor. If you can live with the BT issue, then it's worth it, I've been running 10.2 for 6 weeks.

I'm using TWRP 2.6.3.0 as well, and I have a weird problem

I flashed the latest nightly and gapps 0813 (10.2), and the first boot after the flash was fine. However, I the first time i rebooted my phone, I saw "SAMSUNG" flash in white letters, followed by a black screen.

I did a full wipe again, and flashed the same rom and gapps only to have the same problem: first boot after a flash is fine, but subsequent boots make it past the "SAMSUNG" screen', but never diisplay the spinning cyanogenmod screen

Any other people have this, or know a fix? Are there any log files that would be useful for the devs?

---------- Post added at 02:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:51 PM ----------

*Insert foot in mouth* The first reboot took about 5 minutes for the spinning logo to appear... Subsequent reboots seem fine now.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Jubi Lee:
Everything went peachy with the installation. I thought the phone had locked up with a black screen after I updated my apps and rebooted again, but apparently this is normal and you need to let it sit there for quite a while. In the past I've seen that kind of delay on the first reboot after flashing the ROM, but this one happens on the second reboot so that took me by surprise.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] car vs driver:
Then you probably used the wrong recovery. This doesn't happen on the 4.3 compatible recoveries ... you should strongly consider reflashing a new recovery and starting over to prevent problems down the road.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Jubi Lee:
I'm using CWM 6.0.3.7 which is the recovery currently specified in the release notes. Hmm, was I supposed to reboot after flashing that version over my previous CWM before proceeding with the ROM flash? I don't remember if I did that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:

Quick review time:

What I like

Battery life: at the moment pushing 20 hours with a fair amount of use (unplugged last night)

new camera: much easier to do what I want without accidentally triggering something else. Also seems to work better / faster especially when triggered from the lock screen!

Focal seems like it will be very cool

I like the new settings panel

the double tap menu button option is also very nice... I'm wondering why this was left out for so long now that I have it

Bluetooth metadata is back!

What I don't like

Crashes (I had been pretty content with RC 10.1.3) Whenever I do something complicated like listen to music over bt, and take a call it crashes, or do anything else and take a call... Crash, or randomly crash or... definitely early in the build cycle.

Performance seems to have taken a hit in benchmarks though the actual use of the phone seems nice and smooth

Wake ups / unlocks /unlock - relock - unlock leaves something to be desired

Issues with bluetooth are still there, they just manifest themselves differently this mostly applies to car stereos, though I was having some issues with my house speakers too.

Overall I can't wait till this get's more stable. It's very promising for being such an early build, but I can't say there's a compelling reason to run this as your daily right now. Unless you're a glutton for punishment stick with 10.1.3. Until then, great work in progress Devs!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ozziedog:
How the heck are you getting 20 hours of use? I'm on the latest nightly haven't had any of the problems you have listed. Just wondering.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bps119:
He said he left it unplugged overnight. That's approximately 8 hours there, give or take a few, and at night you're not exactly getting tons of emails, texts, calls, etc. Mostly deep sleep time. I'm not on cm, but slim bean 4.3 at the moment which is fairly similar battery life for me to cm generally, and I got 16.5 hours yesterday with 3.5 to 4 hours screen time, so I'd say 20 hours is more than do-able under the right circumstances.

I saw the changelog for 9/20 and it said Focal was going to be removed because it didn't work. I held off updating because it works great on my phone. If you worked your butt off on an app and someone calls it crap because you don't want them to bastardize it, I think you'd like to share your side of the story.... If the changelog had said it's being removed for licensing issues then that would have been more "professional".

The main removals were the Focal APK (~12MB), a few of Focal's dependent exes in the system/bin and the libs (~5MB). I would assume that if anyone was going to have issues it would be due to the rebase to 4.3_r3.1 from 4.3_r3 (but I haven't looked at all of those commits either)

This is a very long read, but I thought it was a fairly even-handed story by Guillaume Lesniak himself, who developed Focal, and from his perspective, how it all unraveled with him and CM: https://plus.google.com/106978520009932034644/posts/L8FJkrcahPs

I'm torn now. As much as I like to see Cyanogen succeed in this new direction, its doing this at the cost of the hundreds of developers that contributed through the years and aren't getting anything out of this. Well, here's hoping to see Lesniak's Focal show up either at another ROM, or on Google Play one day.

This device is two iterations behind the current offering, with the S5 likely to be introduced in about 6 months. That'll make our Skyrocket really, really old in technology years. But there are two kinds of obsolescence: technological and functional. Although technologically we've been surpassed (usefulness of the latest technology remains a question), functionally I'm wanting for nothing thanks to the dev chefs.
