[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 1BadWolf:
I updated to the latest BeanStalk this morning and installed beta 3 with it and so far so good. I'm going to play around with the Trickster MOD settings a little bit later when I have more time to experiment. Thanks for bringing this to our community! :thumbup:

If I had a dollar for every time I said that, I'd be making money in a very weird way.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Cl3Kener:
Hey guys!

Woohoo! I'm glad we finally got this thing all squared away! I have a few questions now that we appear to having the kernel working the way it should (ie the screen rotation is correct).

1) Has anyone tried thdDude's Hellybean ROM with my Diablo Kernel? Have you tried an OC of 1.836 GHz and were you successful? I'm trying to determine if I can bump the current max OC higher than the current 1.782 GHz cap I put on it. I know that I can actually get my Hercules up to 1.98 GHz without having any RRs but I'm not sure if the same could apply to the Skyrocket.

2) What are those of you running Hercules ROMs doing to get them to work right on the Skyrocket? I know that besides removing/modifying the annoying get prop command on the install script so that it will actually flash I would also change a bunch of values in the build.prop to make sure they are correct for my device. But I guess my real question is, Is any of this necesary or does modifying the build.prop even matter? I'm only asking this because I'm not a porter and I build everything from source so I don't use any cheap and dirty short cuts some of you might be well versed in which would be very beneficial to the rest of us to learn. I would like to include a few instruction on the OP of how to use this kernel to flash Herc ROMs because if you haven't noticed I have about 12 or 13 completely different (and exotic) ROMs that could use a few more downloads. :)

3) Is anyone here interested in developing? I know you already have Project Rookie but I have worked quite hard writing a very easy to understand manual that you might want to read if you have a chance. Check it out here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2355078

4) Have you encountered anything buggy in BETA 3 yet that you would like addressed? I want to get out of the BETAS as soon as possible so test it to the max and see if it breaks!

Cheers!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] toyes:
I can comment on #2 here. All you need to do to run herc rom on a skyrocket is flash the rom and then a skyrocket kernel. Essentially replacing the boot.img and modules with skyrocket files seems to work for me. My MIUI port is an example of this. That port is just the herc rom with a skyrocket kernel which is all that is needed to rom properly. I also did some updater script edits and build.prop edits for the skyrocket. Updater script needs editing if there are assert lines. The build.prop edits are not required at all but if not done the device info in about phone will read incorrectly. Rotation was correct every time I have done it.

Beta 3 has been working great so far! I'm not much of an overclocker but running 192/1512 with it has been very smooth with badass/noop.

Also wanted to say, that is a great resource for new developers. Nice work! I'm saving it as a reference for the future
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Thunder22:
I do the same to port ROMs as what [MENTION=4779173]toyes[/MENTION] said. One thing I also do is replace the t989 system/user/keylayout folder with one from a skyrocket just in case.

[MENTION=5105835]Cl3Kener[/MENTION]. I use drivedroid to mount .isos from the dev frozencow in xda forums a lot to fix computers. Was wondering if you may be hopefully interested to add the two kernel commits from his op to add CD_ROM emulation to the kernel. Sorry I don't know how to properly inbed the links.

Okay [MENTION=2091011]Thunder22[/MENTION]

Your request has been granted (since that was a super easy cherry-pick)

I've labled this build Experimental because I haven't tested the new feature yet and because I allowed you to OC up to 1836 MHz. Let me know if your device can handle 1836 MHz. (Don't worry the worst I've ever seen happen is an RR)

Here is the link http://d-h.st/230

PS I just built a ReVolt ROM for Skyrocket. I thought I'd give it a go since I might become a Revolt Device maintainer for Hercules and SR (My application is still pending) Here's that link if you want to try it out. This is my DD ROM and I love it! http://goo.im/devs/Cl3Kener/Skyrocket/ReVolt-LINARO-CL3Kener-20130929-Skyrocket.zip
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:
thnks for coming to our forums, its very much appreciated,

I added this thread to the 1stop sticky plus the link to the dl page for the revolt rom, im guessing its based on jb4.3. do you plan on starting a thread for revolt or are you waiting for confirmation on becoming the official maintainer
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Cl3Kener:
I will probably start a thread shortly. I thought I'd throw it out there really fast in hopes that someone will download it and tell me either 1) it's working great or 2) it's not working. I assume it is working because I used all Skyrocket Trees, but I will wait for some sort of confirmation that it is booted and running before I start an unofficial thread. Once they get back to me (it's been a few days since I received the offer from them and they still haven't PMed me back) I will just transition the thread to an official thread. :)

BTW, I noticed you've been building a few ROMs. Feel free to use this or any other of my kernel branches in your builds. Be sure to remove system/bin/mpdecision and system/bin/thermald though it you do. ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] OnlySilver:
Oh guess that person is me downloading it atm give me a bit to play around with it and in 30min to 1h I'll report back or ASAP if it doesn't even boot or I get fc's or anything crazy like that :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] onealvideo:
Running great on top of CM 10.2 Official build.

1782 OC... Governor options... Awesome!

Thanks for a kernel option!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] OnlySilver:
Wow first thing I had noticed was the boot animation, it scared me xD. Hoping it boots!.......And it booted!...and just made my cell phone bill go up because I was careless and didn't notice for like 3 minutes xD.

First thing I noticed is that when you turn off data the 3g/4g/H or whatever you got icon stays there. So far it runs pretty smooth I get some lag every so often which I don't get with roms like Slim and illusion 4.2.2 which are the two roms I like to switch between, but it could be just settling in as while I'm typing this I've been running it for 10min. I can use all the basic apps that are included in the rom perfectly fine and so far it runs stable.

20 minutes in data icon finally left :) guess it was just temporary so scratch what I said at first. I'm going to install gapps and some games and apps I regularly use and test how it runs and in twenty minutes I'll update this again. (Can't get enough of that boot animation)

It may just be me but this rom is running fast and smooth I might use it for the rest of the night and tomorrow. Runs around as smooth as slim (slim runs a little faster and smoother though) which is a major plus in my books as slim is one of the best roms for my phone. Can't report on battery life as I haven't been playing with it for that long. But I will happily later if requested.

25 minutes in got my gapps installed and all of my apps that i regularly use and so far it still runs like a champ nice and smooth a little lag here and there but that was when I was installing everything. I'm going to play some games quickly and use snapchat, baconreader etc all the good stuff then report back. So far I've only really noticed any lag when I hit the home button but that may just be the launcher I'll test out nova and apex and check to make sure.

45 minutes in, riptide, subway surfers etc all run fine and I haven't gotten any fc's or lag spikes and yup it was just the launcher giving me the lag when returning to it apex and nova don't show any lag whatsoever. Rom runs perfectly fine and is ready to be used. I'll probably spend the rest of the night and tomorrow on it just to make sure.But from what I got you are good to go! (focal doesn't work but I didn't count it as it was buggy to begin with)

Sorry for my terrible feedback I usually spend my time lurking not testing out builds and reporting back >.>

Edit: Just got an fc on SnapCaptureRoot after reboot but that was the only fc but that was most likely due to me using a dpi changing app other than pa hybrid
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bps119:
Worked for me as well. ROM seems snappy and smooth. I got no force closes, and the ROM seemed to handle everything I threw at it. I did find it funny that the custom kernel wasn't included, but that is an easy remedy. The build did still read as a Hercules build, but all worked as expected, so I assume it was just an oversight when editing because all other areas said skyrocket.

Good work, I'll let you know more of my thoughts once you get a thread for it so as not to clutter this one with ROM talk. Also, I'll need some more time to form a real opinion and find any bugs. Great first impression though.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Thunder22:
[MENTION=5105835]Cl3Kener[/MENTION]. CD ROM emulation with the included commits is running perfect. Thank you again kind sir.

540-1728MHZ is running awesome as usual. Max speed, 1.8 for me reboots at 1% on antutu, for stability, other kernels it also reboots past 1.78 also nothing unusual. But it is also is at stock voltages.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Cl3Kener:
Revolt's launcher is pretty bad. I would recommend NOVA since that is what I run. :) I think you're right about the FC. I've had people run this ROM on Hercules for days without ever seeing an fc. One guy is really picky and he couldn't say a single bad thing about ReVolt.....

Well I just posted a new thread so you can wander over there now. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2463937 I realized after I uploaded it that I had forgotten about how I changed the build config to always say Hercules no matter which device I built.... I fixed it now for the official thread though so that shouldn't be an issue.

I also am going to use the Skyrocket UBER kernel in my next build now that I have a separate branch with 1782 MHz Max. https://github.com/Cl3Kener/HERC-KERNELS/commits/skyrocket

Well Gentlemen, It looks like 1782 MHz is the cap. No more RRs!

For everyone else, I just imported this thread into DevDB. I'm going to see if I can rebuild an official release with 1782 MHz as a max with CD emulation and everything. I'll make sure to upload it to Dev Host and DevDB.

Cheers!

This. Uber 1.1....

The only thing missing from the CM9 nine days is HDMI out through MHL, but that is not working on any ROM that I am aware of besides stock...

I am curious what others are running for the OC/UV settings and what your battery life is with these new Governors for those of us that have only had stock CM Governors... I read the OP and understand that differs from user to user but am curious with this new kernel and it's support.

Awesome kernel work!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] x2o:
Well I recently let it run for a battery test to see what I could get, and my results are in the screenshot below. 2d 12h, not heavily used though.

This was with default voltages, 192/1728 , badass/BFQ governors.

Just under 3 hours of screen time. I usually stick to 192/1512 but figured I'd try something a bit different. So far the effect on battery hasn't been to bad with the extra bump of speed.

Is anybody going to make Linux 3.4 or newer based kernel for our Skyrockets?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Cl3Kener:
Hey Everyone!

I've updated to what is the last kernel update for 3.0.y. We are now at version 3.0.99. I didn't stop at just a simple update though. I decided to add in a few features to hopefully increase your batterylife and performance. One feature I added is called CPU power and it shuts off one process when you screen is on and load it low to save on battery for those of you that read the news on your phones and things like that. It also kicks the second core on when you start playing subways surfers so it should hopefullly give you all the best of both worlds. (Battery and Performance). I've also added a few more tweaks that seemed to have work for me well this past week on my Hercules. I didn't want to post this a a release until I hear some feedback so here is the link and let me know what you think! :D

As far as upgrading to Linux 3.4 I don't know if Team Chopsticks will take the time to do that or not. You probably should ask them. I've started experimenting myself but it's not a simple as you'd think to upgrade to 3.4.y. Merging all of the things you need to merge to get our drivers for this phone (which may or may not actually work in 3.4.y because our drivers were meant for 3.0.y) is no simple feat so don't expect it to happen anytime soon.

Cheers!

Out of all the games that I've tried, Subway Surf is the only game that won't launch. I did notice that it does take a second before games do launch, but as the second core activates, that make sense, but Subway Surf, just shows a black screen. It's only been a short sample, but everything else is working good.

Edit: I just found out the reason why Subway Surf is not working is because I have the External space is low error message when the game is installing. I even went back to the stock kernel for Cm10.2 and same thing. So I'll have to format my data. Sorry and thanks for the kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rpr69:
Running this version, so far so good. Are the CPU power features baked in, as in non-configurable? Just curious.

I have two issues that have existed in at least 1.0 and 1.1

a) after installing, I reboot from recovery, it boots up, the lock screen comes up, it times out like usual, then the phone reboots. It comes up again, and this time it's fine. This happens every time I flash a nightly ROM and this kernel. Not a huge deal, just wondering if anyone else is seeing this

b) fast charge doesn't work for me. It doesn't matter what (or how) I set the force_fast_charge flag, it only charges at 480-500mAh. This happens regardless which charger and cable I use. All the chargers are rated for at least 1Ah
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
I have experienced the same new install time out and reboot issue here too.

I am able to under-volt using Android Tuner Pro and selecting Core 1...

This kernel works great, aside from very slight occasional hesitation. Using InteractiveX governor and Deadline scheduler.

Thanks for this!

Fast charge is working fine hear. Plugged into my USB 3.0 port right now getting 965mA. As far as fast charge goes you shouldn't be using a charger at all. It's meant for USB to comp. Why your only getting 500mA why plugged into a wall charger is another matter. What are you using to measure the charge?

I clean flashed a copy of CM10.2 with this kernel and I was able to get boot 2 times which included the TWRP 2.6.3.0 black screen bug, but this morning when I booted up my phone, the CM logo kept spinning, so I had to revert to the stock kernel.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Cl3Kener:
Hey Everyone!

I removed CPU Power and made a release. The kernel is less power conserving now but I think most of you care about performance (hence why you are flashing a custom kernel). Besides, the battery shouldn't be any worse than normal stock without CPU Power. If you do care about battery and are a constant news reader with lots of screen time use the kernel I posted in my last post and you should get more screen time with less of a toll on your battery.

As far as the reboot issue, the problem that you are experiencing comes from you not letting the ROM settle. Go back and check the install instructions. When you install the kernel (especially with a dirty flash) you must let the phone boot without touching it. If you try to unlock it in the first couple of seconds after install you will probably get an RR. This kernel needs a few minutes to finish loading things before you can unlock it. Once you let it settle it will be solid, just be aware that it is just very vunerable during the initial boot. Most people feel weird about letting the phone sit on the Google Apps Welcome Screen but it is worth it!

I've never had any issues with USB fast charge. I implemented it correctly I promise. :)

Enjoy the Final 3.0.99 Kernel!

Great work Cl3Kener!

Flashed the 3.0.99 release with CPU Power last night, working great!

I've yet to have a problem with black screens or random restarts on this kernel, be sure to let it settle as cl3kener mentioned above.

Can't comment on USB Fast Charge as I've never needed to use it.

Looks like I've found my new kernel for 4.3 :good::good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Andrw0830:
Thanks for the hard work Regarding the boot loop on the cm logo, I did the first boot wait for it to settle but not on the setup screen as I thought it meant leave it when it is at the launcher screen. When i left it on that screen for awhile, i booted into recovery and did a fix permissions and when it rebooted, i had the TWRP black screen bug then it booted. The only time i had a problem was when i shut it down and it wouldnt boot a 3rd time.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Andrw0830:
Ok thanks. That was the weirdest thing though as the second reboot did go right to the lockscreen and I didn't adjust any system files, I just charged my phone the other night and booted up the next morning and that happen. Have you noticed that the boot logo at least with CM 10.2 takes longer to display and load the OS than the stock?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rpr69:
I can say with 100% confidence that I am not touching the phone, at all, when it reboots. I've watched it boot through the animation, the lock screen comes up, it times out, the screen goes off, and it reboots after a couple of seconds and goes through the whole thing again. usually this only happens once, but occasionally I've seen it do it twice.

Anyway, it works, which is the main thing. I'll flash the new kernel now and see what it does. I will also try and nail down what is going on with the charging, it's very weird. Thanks for the work, I *do* appreciate it!

edit: I had tons of problems trying to install the new 1.2 version for some reason, although it is probably unrelated to the kernel, for various reasons. Anyway, once I got it cleaned up and working, I tested the charger and now fast charge works the way I expect, so I don't think it was the kernel. I still have the reboot after install issue, happens every time.

New 3.0.100 Kernel

Hey Everyone!

Well I was shocked to see a 3.0.100 kernel released yesterday! Anyhow, I upgraded and added a new CPU Governor called HYPER which is a performance governor. I think this will be my new video gaming governor because it is very aggressive and keeps the phone in the upper frequencies while the screen is on. Give it a tryand see what you think! Links are on the OP.

I'm sorry that some of you are still getting RRs on boot. It might be that 1782 MHz is still too high for some of you. Maybe try holding your phone by the fan during the initial boot to see if that fixes the issue (I'm actually being serious, it might just be due to overheating during the initial boot that is usually the hottest your phone will get unless you are benchmarking).

Enjoy the new kernel!

Cheers!
