I had to go back to EMBRYO TW rom, not nearly as speedy as Dirty Unicorns, but I had to go back to it before I took off for work, I can not be missing messages. It wasn't the notification sound it was I was not getting the text message AT ALL, nothing, when the phone was in deep sleep. However with no wakelocks disabled I would get horrible battery life.

I will have to come back to this ROM when I return in 3 weeks and hope to god I can get it. I miss it already it was super speeeed ! Basically a whole new device, and I miss my volume wake !

I dunno if anyone can suggest what can be done with that and to save battery life. I did get great battery life when I disabled basically all wakelocks more or less, but then ended up missing messages completely. I'd love feedback

Thanks !

P.S. I still do have a nandroid on my EXT-SD so I could always flash back, and may but I have to tackle this problem :(

Some messaging apps like Handcent disable other sms apps. I want getting sms notifications in hangouts until I figured that out. You may want to uninstall or clear data for any other messaging app. I'm guessing you didn't change any APNs so...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] alanjames01:
Can't wait for DU 4.4!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unibombz:
No I didn't bother freezing stock SMS, I use GoSMS, It has to do with the wakelocks I think and not the app. However I can't get a good set of wakelocks disabled to improve my battery life, however, when I had wakelocks disabled, I got great battery life, but missed messages. I wish I could find a happy medium with this rom/kernal. It is an outstanding ROM so dam fast, I wish from stock install battery life was great.

Could anyone maybe suggest a list of wakelocks to disable to improve battery life. I saw the ones in the OP however didn't improve much, is there something I am missing? Right now back on TW till i have time to go back to this ROM, I am going to do another fresh install of everything, apps included.

OFFICIAL - Dirty Unicorns - SkyRocket

I guess it's confirmed everybody. We are OFFICIAL!

All the hard work has paid off. This will mean on device OTA updates and everything.

**made huge strides today. Got so much done converting this AOSP source to our way of doing things as well as helping other devices close in type to ours get compiled as well.

Hm OK perhaps I am not giving it enough time to settle down, maybe I am judging my battery too quick off the hop. When I get back home in December I will do a fresh install of the most current build (perhaps kitkat) hehe, and I will sit with it for a week with not touching wakelock blocker and I will post back on how it goes.... man I miss it, this TW rom is booo-erns, so laggy... good rom for a TW rom, but this ROM was a eye opener, the speed I miss!!

Thanks guys, keep me posted with any recommendations , looking forward to december!!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] theesotericone:
I do. It means wanto is busy working on 4.4. It also means the last release is running great for everyone using it. It is nice just to catch up and say hi though. So hi everyone.:cool:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unibombz:
I hope I can get the last release working well. Any Canadian users using this ROM with the I727R ? when I used it last from stock, fresh install, it seemed to eat the battery, and REALLY eat it on LTE. I know above it was suggested to let the phone sit for days or a week to let it settle, but I will be coming back to it next I am home

I am using this on a I727r. But not on lte.

So far so good been running out for a week.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] blackangel21:
I've been running this ROM on I727R without issues. I use it on the Bell network and everything is great.

Made the jump from Beanstalk, which served me well.

Only issue for me has been BLN not working on DU.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Been running this for almost 2 weeks now. The only issue I've had is with the DPI Groups in Hybrid settings.

When I select a group, the "button" doesn't show as depressed, and there's a long wait for the next screen. Sometimes it FC's, sometimes not. I can't reproduce the FC consistently, but the buttons never highlight when selected.

Minor thing, compared to the overall plethora of options in this ROM...

Thanks for this!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] robinsonj:
Working well for me on virgin with my i727R.

Tried both the standard Rogers modem and the one from Bell i757 and have gone back to the Rogers one as more stable.

I'm having a small issue that bt quits on me when the display goes off... I quit on land line and use an xlink to have my cell work through all my house phones so it needs to stay connected. My current workaround is to plug the phone in to make it stay awake. There are soo many options that I will continue to hunt to see if there's a "wakeup on bt" option somewhere or something.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] WARRENFRALEIGH:
Try Auto Bluetooth. My bluetooth disconnected from my hands free after each call, but after setting this to persistent connection. It doesn't disconnect. It may be worth a try for your usage.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unibombz:
Thank you everyone for the feedback with the ROM, I plan to get back on it, I was suffering hard with battery life and that is a concern to me, but if so many of you are having outstanding results in REGARDS TO BATTERY LIFE, then I must not be giving it much time, if you can, and of course you don't have to can you post some battery screenshots of your day just so i can judge or get an average of where is reasonable when I get back on DU. Thanks again to everyone ! home in 10 days so ill be flashing it back on :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] robinsonj:
My battery life on it has been poor, but I've decdided that I can keep it anyway... My workaround? I connect USB in the car for streaming audio, I plug it to power at home and put it next to my XLink BT gateway, and I just connect the USB on my computer at work... This habit of always supplying power will probably kill my battery completely in fairly short order?

I can leave it unplugged to almost dead and post a screenshot if that'll help.

I do have a question though... I don't seem to get an option (like stock and stock based ROMs) to just connect USB as a drive? I have to use debug mode in the car and tell the GROM unit it's a camera (?) for the streaming on Aalinq, but I have searched the extensive menus and even with USB debugging off none of my computers see it as a USB drive... no notification on the phone of USB connection either (except in debug), it just starts charging. Am I missing something?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Smittiegee19:
Nope. That has been a problem plaguing this device and some others for quite some time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kabell4:
Has anyone tried a different kernel with this awesome ROM yet?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pubcat:
I'm sure other kernels will work but in my experience, kernels are usually tied in close with the rom that they are made for. And if you've any problems down the line you really can't come to an official thread for any substantial help because any problems you may run into could be because of a/an kernel that you are running.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unibombz:
Hm OK so battery life is poor, so what you get like 6 hours 8 hours, I'd be happy with 12 - 14 hours. but I know when on LTE my battery will drain approx 5% withing 3- 6 minutes. The ROM I am on now while I am away on work, doesn't have that issue, prob get 12- 18hours of life depending on usage. This is phone calls, txt, minor web browsing, email. I don't play games, stream content or even listen to music.

Perhaps the new version / kernel will tackle this issue. It has to be something kernel related, I have background apps 'greenified' too to help assist with background running apps still cant tackle it. Wakelocks if I disable almost all of them I can get approx 28 hours off this ROM however I start to miss text messages completly
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kabell4:
All of as sudden I'm getting "android.process.acore has stopped" ?

Not getting text messages either. Haven't changed Wakelocks.

Edit: Fixing permissions took care of it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] _Jax_:
Did a quick google search and people say it's something to do with your contacts.

Try: Settings --> apps --> All --> Contacts Storage --> clear data and Force stop

If that doesn't work try uninstalling the contacts apk and re-installing.

Again, this was a quick google search. This could all be 100% wrong..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] robinsonj:
Well I left it unplugged until I got below 35% and tried to get you a screenshot of the Battery Stat page but it told me I can't save a screenshot "Storage may be in use" but here's what it's telling me.

4h 37m 15s on battery and I'm all the way down to 30%

My ROM, Model, Kernel, and Modem are all the same as your sig but I'm on Virgin.

I am not blocking any wakelocks.

I'm way outside LTE coverage, so my radio is set to GSM/WCDMA preferred, and I'm at the office with WiFi and BT off. While sitting at my desk I seem to wander from between 2 bars of 3G and 1 bar of H+

Received one fairly short (less than 10 minutes) call, read the news a bit, looked briefly at FB, and that's about it.

Screen 39% (auto brightness and I'm in an office)

Cell standby 20%

Voice calls 6%

Canada Newspapers 5%

CBC News 5%

Android System 5%

Chrome 4%

Android OS 4%

Google Play Store 4%

Phone idle 3%

So... Terrible battery life. I was getting most of a day from most TW based 4.12 ROMS but I will keep this as a daily driver for a while in the hopes that this gets better since I'm usually near a power source and the functionality is WAY better... (caveat... I do have USB, BT, and WiFi reconnect issues but the BT and WiFi have never played well together on any JB modem I've used on this phone yet... modems were much better back on ICS)

This weekend will be a real test because I'll be in Ottawa for a couple of days and therefore have LTE signal and be away from power a lot more often.

Hope this is some help to someone.

Jamie
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] _Jax_:
Hmm, all I can offer is my experience as I am in that area and have LTE. So far, 5h 28m 12s - 85%. Screen 49% and the rest of ours is pretty on par.

Edit: this is with no wakelocks blocked but I do have a lot of apps greenified with experimental features enabled. Also took advantage of some baked in settings such as when the screen turns off disable location settings and drop the signal to 2g.

Have you installed better battery stats? Something is eating up your battery obviously. Just gotta find it:)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] theesotericone:
Yep. Get BBS and figure it out. So far only a handful of users are reporting bad battery life. Everyone else is getting remarkable(for this phone) battery life. So the people who aren't getting that great of use times need to find out what that cause is and BBS is the best way to do that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unibombz:
Yes I have looked thru BBS but I can't find what wakelocks relate to what is in the list. And when I started to disable stuff battery life did improve, but I went too far and started missing text messages completely ... Hm, I am going to try to tackle it again. The user that reported 85% on LTE.... what do you have as a guide to keep good battery life, as soon as I can figure this out I want to post it on the board here for all users to try. there has to be some wakelocks we can all disable to improve this issue .

4h at 35% is horrible , TW roms, slow and sluggish, I have gotten up to 14- 18 hours so I dunno.... thanks for all the posts still going to research
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Tsk_Tsk_Tsk:
Dude just Google it. There are plenty of resources on how to improve battery life its silly. Super clean flash might help too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lazer77:
Had this the other day too. As a result, couldn't even make a phone call I needed to make. Didn't have time to think, think I ended up reflashing gapps and that fixed it. Altho the above solution i'm thinking could have worked too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unibombz:
yes I have looked, and yes I have done more then one clean flash, ill have to figure it out, just never have had something eat it , and i am not the only one having this issue... but of course I am researching it, doesn't hurt to ask the community

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] SoCalHTCFuze:
This ROM is truly gold! Actually feels like an upgrade over all the other 4.3 Roms. I can't believe how snappy fast it is, even with all the creative animations on. Great work on this, clearly the top of the line for our phone!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Thunder22:
Love the ROM. Was wondering though is possible to turn of the scrolling list animations. I may be blind.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wantowan2:
Try settings/romcontrol/led lights? To turn them off, you could set it to off.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mlkjuggalo:
Same here I think its how this ROMs set up. As soon as I went to play store it let me log in to Google account
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] x61tab:
Do you experience a long rebooting process? At times, it won't even boot. Had to remove the battery and power it back on.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] EQ811977:
I have had something similiar but not a boot loop. Applied Cobalt blue theme and the phone rebooted. The theme was automaticaly set back to system default. I'll try to get a log when I get some time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wantowan2:
Not sure if I quite understood you here. Are you saying that you had a long first boot and now you have trouble rebooting? ....and you had to remove the battery?

If this is the case then you have the wrong recovery. (possibly you didn't do a clean wipe...)

I posted the correct recovery to use with a 4.3 roms with the rom and gapps download links.

Hope this helps, good luck.... =-)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pedro6669:
Sorry to ask again but is there a way to turn off the touch key lights? ROM control/LED settings didn't do it. Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] theesotericone:
I've been running Moretz for a long time and decided to give Uber a shot. Seeing as how you spent all that time tweaking Moretx I'm starting to second guess my decision. lol I'll do a clean install and leave the stock kernel in there. Then time to start playing a bit with app ops and see if I can squeeze even a little more out of this battery. The thing for me is listening to music for at least 8 hours. It'll drop to 192 with the screen off but it won't sleep during that time obviously. I'm digging this ROM so far to say the least. Also no issues that I have come across yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] LPMatt:
1) what recovery are you on?

2) are you able to reboot into recovery?

3) do you have a nandroid backup?

4) re-download the ROM and reflash it (with all the appropriate steps)

5) on first reboot, walk away and let it sit for a while. The initial boot on this ROM is quite long usually. Don't do anything for several minutes after the setup screen shows.

I use the TWRP recovery.

I don't know what is nandroid backup.

I can go into recovery mode but Couldn't install the rom.

I was waiting about 20 minutes but it didn't turn on
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mlkjuggalo:
Nandroid backup is just backing up your phone in recovery CWM or TWRP. What version of TWRP are you running? I'm on TWRP 2.6.3.0 and have no issues flashing or rebooting this ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] GunsN:
I am using 2.6.3.0 too, I don't need any information, I just wanted to install ne rom :(

what should I do now?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mlkjuggalo:
What I would do is Start from a clean phone.

1st back up everything you want to keep like pics and videos to pc.

2nd download rom and gapps again just in case you got a bad download.

3rd make sure you have the correct radio/modem for JB Roms if not download it and put Rom , Gapps , and Radio/Modem in same folder to put on sd.

4th I would reboot or boot to TWRP and wipe start in advanced and wipe Dalvik cache ,Cache,Data,System,Internal sd,Android Secure,& Micro sd.

5th Factory reset

6th While still in TWRP mount usb and put the folder with Rom, Gapps,and Radio/Modem on sd

7th Flash Radio/modem 1st if you don't have the correct one if you do have the correct one then just Flash Rom and Gapps.

Reboot and let sit as it takes a little time for rom to boot after it boots give it 10 or so min before setting up

Hope this gets you running also don't put and videos back on sd if you had any as some videos cause issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] GunsN:
what radio/modem mean?

How should I see if I have correct radio/modem and how can I put it in rom?

sorry for so many questions :crying:

You should be using the ucmc1 radio for skyrocket. Download it and flash in recovery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mlkjuggalo:
If you have a ROM installed that will boot then go to settings/about phone and look at the baseband for I727 use UCMC1 or if using I727R use Rogers UXUMA7 you can find both in the 1 stop thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1785999 and can be flashed in recovery.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] LPMatt:
Did you do the wipes?

The directions given a few posts ago should work. If you still have an issue, use Odin (google it) to return to stock. There are downloads and a tutorial in Vincom's one stop thread. Once you're back to basics, use Odin to flash the .rar version of TWRP. Then, boot to recovery and backup your working ROM! Then, go to Wipe, Advanced, and check off dalvik cache, data, system, and cache. Wipe. Then go back to the main menu and install the .zip of the latest DU ROM. I've not had problems flashing gapps before rebooting again, but if you're having problems, you could always reboot, let it settle, then go back into recovery and flash gapps.

what is the problem I don't know. any ideas? even when I try to install Rom and Gapps :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] WARRENFRALEIGH:
You may have a bad sd card. I've had error flashing zip and changing to a 2gb sd card solved the problem. Another trick was to unzip the zip file with 7zip, and rezip it again, and use the new zipfile. I don't know why it worked, but it did. Good Luck!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mlkjuggalo:
I'm not sure what your issue is now the only other thing I can think of would be to try Flashing CWM reboot recovery after recovery reboots then do all the wipes and try to flash radio rom gapps .
