Hey there [MENTION=4359258]topprospect[/MENTION],

I haven't used the official CM nightlies in quite awhile but I thought I'd just offer up my 2 cents.

First and foremost, thank you very very much for the continued support on this slowly aging device. I think we've all gotten more life out of it than we were expecting lol.

Now, like I said I haven't used these nightlies in awhile so I'm not sure how stable current items are. For me personally, it's always been the bluetooth issue. Sultan's kernel has squashed that and it's always been stable thus far. BT on cm kernel, may be better (or fixed even) but I don't really know. If others report constant drops still, perhaps it'd be worthwhile to check out Sult's fixes?

Only because you said feature wise is why I'm going to throw in this next one :P. PA's dynamic system bars have gone open source. Would these ever be adopted to cm? Xposed's tinted status bar seems to cause quite a few system ui crashes.

I don't even know if USB fast charge is part of the current kernel or not but thats always nice ;).

That's basically it. These are all my personal opinions (aside from bluetooth).

Oh! Lastly, and I know this a big "no-no" lol but I'll take the heat for everyone when I ask if you foresee cm, even on our skyrocket, getting bumped to Lollipop?

That's it. Again, thanks so much for keeping this device alive :highfive:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tommyjt24:
I have used some of the more recent nights and blue tooth seems better.

I could really only see marking a milestone if we actually stopped taking changes and just fix what is broken.

Which at this point I'm not sure what that would be or if there is enough user base to find the bugs. The lag in the interactive governor seems to be the one I notice people talk about the most. And I suppose if there is a way to reduce RAM usage in the system that would help a old device with little RAM.

I just got my motto x today so I'll be another soon to be gone. I may use my Sr to learn some of the os development of android. Shouldn't be to hard considering my background just not sure exactly what needs to be done.

I've built from source but was to afraid to flash it for fear of bricking my phone! Now I can brick away.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] topprospect:
Bt dropouts. Gotcha. His kernel is pretty different from the stock CM kernel (if I remember correctly). If you guys know of specific BT fixes that he made, we can get them integrated into the CM kernel.

USB fast charge is not going to happen. You risk frying the USB host by pulling more current that it was designed to provide.

I don't know about adopting PA's dynamic system bars. I'd like to stick to device-specific features and problems in this discussion though.

It is not out of the question. I'm not sure yet what L changes are incompatible with our older kernel and driver blobs. But right now, we can't do much bring up. We need the CM higher ups to get the first Nexus device working. Once that is done, all the other maintainers can start hacking away on their own device bring up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xonelith:
Thanks for supporting the skyrocket. Needed to add that since I think many of the ROM's we use are based off of your work on CM.

Something that I recall was a problem was the camera. I don't remember exactly the issue, but I think that was something else that Sultan had corrected in his version (sorry, I never used the CM nightly directly).

I can run some tests tonight to help out.

In addition to the dynamic system bars something else that would be great is BLN. I currently flash the WildKernel with every ROM I use since it has that capability (plus a few of the fixes Sultan put in). PA is the only ROM that has BLN enabled.

Thanks again!! And here's hoping we can have L:)

I am using the CM 11 nightly build from 01192015. I cannot get the miracast function to work. Is there a known issue with Miracast for i727 CM11? It is working for my i437.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tsew2674:
The only 4.4.4 ROM that I've found for the i727 that has miracast working is sultans unofficial cm11. If it's important to you, try that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ocd_amp:
If you guys use Sultan's I727 skyrocket CM11 version, I have fixed its framework which was causing our Skyrocket's battery to drain and die fast. That solves one problem with CM. Many more to go.

And where is that fix?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ocd_amp:
Few posts back. I contacted Sultan and let him know I fixed it for this ROM and he should post that right up front on the main thread but he has not responded. It is really upto him to link it into his first page. The link is here:

Small visual glitch, network i/o indicators are slightly off to the right.

Edit: Another report: duplicates under daydreams

Edit 2: camcorder does not record
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rpr69:
Camcorder issue is known, I think it's even in the OP (my apologies, it's on the known issues list on TC website)...

For anyone who cares, there is an update to Better Battery Stats that works with 4.4, check the beta thread. The dev has posted like 4 updates in the last few days to fix 4.4. issues. I haven't found too much that doesn't work. I know Xposed doesn't, but it should be updated soon, other than that, everything I use regularly seems to work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Andrw0830:
A couple of issues which I know will be fixed is:

1. The tiles on the quick settings panel, take you to the settings to turn on and off instead of turning off when tapped.

2. When a text comes through, there is no quick replay on the notification bar.

Other than those two issues and the more common ones posted, this rom is rock solid! Great battery life and smooth .:D Thanks guys.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] car vs driver:
1. That's a WIP and not a critical system problem, it is part of the CM features that have not been fully merged.

2. That's been merged and fixed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] skyrocketeer:
On the tc website it just says it is out if focus.

Another bug: editing photos in gallery is okay, but when exporting or saving the 'processing image' notification still persists, and if you open the gallery again, gallery force closes

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Andrw0830:
Has anybody gotten huge "mediaserver" battery drain after listening to music? It seems to happen every so often and I don't think its phone and rom related as I know someone who also has it and they are on stock with a s3. I just reformat my SD card and put the music back on but I am still getting it. I understand it will drain as I am listening to music but it keeps my phone awake after its done which is causing the battery drain.

Edit: It later fixed itself without having to reboot, so I think I just need to watch the drainage or reboot once I'm done listening to music.

Hardware Keys Bug

Installed, Ran for a whole day. Only bug that found was the hardware buttons (Menu, Home, Back, Search), stopped working while in the Dialer. Happened a couple of times. Booted, the same. Reverted to CM10.1

Tested Camera, Bluetooth, GPS, and a bunch of apps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] scgt1:
Wow I was about to install this sucker until I went through the problems list (this is after downloading everything to do the upgrade)

"Contacts on SIM card are not accessible"

This is where I store my contacts because I've lost them with phones crashing before. Sim cards pull out of a phone and install into a new phone keeping everything intact. That's a crazy one to be on the never to be fixed list.

I assume that goes with all CM Rom's :( now I have to find a different rom to use. :(

Yep all the way back to CM9. Maybe I'll have to change my ways but if they are currently on my sim card and the phone has been fully wiped twice to install a new rom how the heck do I get them to the phone if they are on the sim and CM11 or any other for that mater can't access the contacts on the sim?

Furthermore if they were on the phone wouldn't a full wipe have cleared off the contacts? So where the heck would one store their contacts anyway during the install of a CM Rom?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mrfeuss:
Look at the top of the thread where it says "Alpha." This is not a daily driver, yet. There are still plenty of ROMs available, just not 4.4.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] scgt1:
No offense but re read my post as I stated and I'm sure you already know as being a regular that this is a problem that has been around since CM has been around. So the ALPHA doesn't mean anything as it is clearly stated in the probably to never be fixed section of the release notes as of 10.2:

Known Issues That Will (probably) Never Be Fixed

(AT&T only) "Use only 2G networks" option in Settings does not work

(AT&T only) Changing "Preferred network mode" in Settings does not work

Contacts on SIM card are not accessible

Changing call forwarding from this ROM is broken
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tapeworm_george:
Why not store them in your google account? As a nifty benefit you would then be able to edit your contacts from google.com/contacts and they would automatically be added whenever you sign on to your google account with a new phone/rom even if you switch to a different carrier. I would suspect that one reason that it isn't a development priority is that very few people store their contacts to a sim card.

Of course if you need to pull your contacts from your sim card I would suggest flashing a stock rom, importing your contacts, then exporting them your sd card.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] scgt1:
That would be fine and all if linking my phone contacts and google contacts would keep all of them separate. It doesn't. syncing contacts will force all the email contacts to also be added to my phone. Therefore making a cluster of sorts to my address book on the phone. Unless I'm just missing something on how to keep that from happening.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] techmik67:
Here's what I do. Once all your contacts are in google you go to the contact list from phone or pc. Add all the ones you want on your phone to the group "starred in android". Now on the phone, open your contacts, click menu for settings, click contacts to display, and uncheck everything except "starred in android".
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hitekredneck:
Does anyone have any idea why BBS will not install on my SR while on this ROM? I have gone to the BBS development thread and downloaded 3 of the latest versions that are supposedly 4.4 compatible, but each one gives a "There was a problem parsing this package" error every time I try to install it. Any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rpr69:
I'm glad I'm not the only one! I managed to get it to work by downloading on my laptop, uploading to Drive, then downloading from there. You could probably do the same with dev-host or Box or DropBox, but that's what worked for me. Downloading direct from XDA via a browser did not work for me, regardless of browser.

OK so my initial report, these issues are my own and do not reflect anyone else. If I'm wrong or need corrected please tag me in the discussion thread.

A larger app memedroid caused reboot, I know this was an issue with another cm version early on for this phone too. Will test again.

I cannot edit or delete apn's but I can create one.

Other than that everything I do and use is smooth so far.

I have same issue, and I clean flashed. WiFi was just sudenly lost at home were it should be always connected. When trying to turn it of and back on to fix the issue it gets stuck. Reboots don't seem to fix it and cleaning cashes didnt either. Still searching for a fix.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] car vs driver:
You guys need to help by providing logs for stuff like this. You can use an app from the playstore called CatLog, then push the saved file to dropbox or google docs and post the link to the thread.

Just make sure you capture a log as the problem happens and that should give us some useful information to debug.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pcidiot:
Sorry!! Will do if it happens again. I have reflashed and it hasn't happened again so far.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dutchthomas:
Sometimes after I reboot, I'm missing some apps. The first few times I thought I was crazy, but the last two times I paid more attention. It was XDA and aldiko.

I generally let Google reinstall my apps and selectively restore data via TB. XDA and aldiko were two that I restored data for, but the other ~7 have been fine so far.

Anyone else?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Kiltnar:
I saw that happen to me today. XDA-app usually stores all the data on the SDcard. Which could be why it's disappearing. Check in settings --> apps and slide over to SDcard after restoring those apps and see if any/all of them are using the SDcard for storage. You can select it to go to the phone storage instead of SDcard from there. I'd wipe the data/cache out for XDA (logging doesn't take long) and see if it survives a reboot after that.

EDIT: I should have used the search button, thanks [MENTION=2516906]berniesteven[/MENTION].

I'm still on JB but I was wondering if Tap-to-Pay with Google Wallet will work on the Skyrocket with 4.4? From what I've read, 4.4 opens up NFC payment to any phone with KitKat and NFC capability. Has anyone tried this with one of the Alpha builds?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] car vs driver:
The purpose of the new HCE framework is to eliminate the need for a secure element on the SIM card. Which, as we all know, has made NFC 'tap to pay' a carrier and device specific affair. With HCE on 4.4, it is device agnostic because it is a framework in the OS that is not tied to a physical piece of hardware.

So, with that being said, the answer right now is no. But - that's only because Wallet has not been updated to use HCE (as far as I can tell) to provision a credit card to the wallet. As soon as the wallet app is updated to use HCE, it won't matter what device you have, you'll be able to provision a card and use NFC payments - because that's really the whole point ... remove the device and carrier restrictions from the process.

Now, what I can tell you about HCE itself ... it isn't perfect, but it's a good start and will hopefully open up the playing field for NFC payments and drive broader market adoption, especially with the new guidelines in the US around Chip & Pin / Chip & Signature cards coming. Things are going to get very interesting, very soon.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] TheCybertronian:
My cards already attached to my wallet account lol. Stoked
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] car vs driver:
I take it back, I was able to provision my credit cards to the app. I'll run to our test lab in a bit and see if I can actually use it for an NFC payment.

Edit: No tap to pay. Just basic provisioning for the other money transfer services. So my assumption earlier was correct about them not using HCE yet in the Wallet app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Ki77erB:
Awesome! Yeah, I thought Wallet had been updated to use HCE since people were making NFC payments on Nexus 5's.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] car vs driver:
That's has to be because there is a secure element on the SIM card they are using.
