Guys use the pull command on Gerrit :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Andrw0830:
What I do is remove all the folders in my local directory, but the .repo. Next I use repo sync -j5 and then when it's done apply 8979 and 8487 by using get pull. That worked for me. Use the link posted below the patchset on each commit. You have to be in frameworks/base for it to apply.

I tested and can confirm it works and my build has GPS.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] roger_n:
Using "git pull" worked instead of "git cherry-pick" now let see if the GPS works?

You shouldn't have to go through that mess to get it to work pulling it worked for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Andrw0830:
Yep this what I did first. For some reason before, I was getting a local directory error so I just cleaned it up and had no problem since How's it going with you get it locked yet?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] roger_n:
Whoopi GPS finally locked I built with #8487 and #8979 nothing else.

EDIT: I failed to mention it took several minutes to get a lock.

Hey [MENTION=3877985]prbassplayer[/MENTION], it looks like you've now merged most of the GPS related location fixes in Gerrit. :good:

Can I ask what remains to get the Skyrocket back into Slim's weekly cycle, or even if this is planned?

I could continue posting occasional builds here if desired...

Yes, I did some clean-up of old builds, sorry.

Try this newer one. It has the merged commits directly from Slim source now. Note it may very well be 5.9-based, but I built it right before [MENTION=3877985]prbassplayer[/MENTION] updated the common.mk file for the weeklies:

I'm looking into how we can get SlimKat for the Skyrocket back into Slim's weekly cycle. We'll see what pans out... ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mmalka:
I've been using an old version of the Slim ROM (4.3), for the lack of a fully functional more recent one. Based on the feedback provided, it seems that this build has most issues resolved, such as Bluetooth, Camera and GPS. As I use my phone for work, this is very important to me.

That said, can someone tell me what to do to properly install and configure the ROM? Of course, I will do a clean flash, but I read posts above about some changes to files and parameters that were not clear to me if they were made in this build or if I needed to incorporate them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xonelith:
Great news. :good:

Everything is working great for me. Found my new DD!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
The most important thing if coming from a 4.3 JellyBean ROM (e.g. SlimBean) is to flash a 4.4 compatible recovery. PhilZ Touch is a very feature-packed recovery and you can find links to it for the Skyrocket here.

Make sure you have a nandroid backup just in case, and also you have the ROM and Gapps packages you need saved to the phone.

You can download the last ROM version I posted earlier today:

Slim-skyrocket-4.4.3.build.5.8-UNOFFICIAL-20140615-2222.zip

And download the latest Slim's Gapps package.

Once you flash the new recovery, use the power options menu to "Reboot Recovery" so you're actually running it. Then select the option to "Wipe Data/Factory Reset" then choose "Clean to Install a New ROM". This should wipe and set your phone's partitions up for KitKat.

Now flash the ROM then the Gapps package, and when it's done, reboot.

Once in the ROM, you can set up your Wi-Fi access and Google account, then I would suggest going to the Settings > Advanced Options > Superuser menu and in the setting for Superuser, select "Apps and ADB", even though it may already be selected. This will "wake up" the Superuser app for root access support.

Personal preference, but I always go into Settings > Security > Lockscreen > Secure Reboot Menu and enable the reboot to recovery option for when not on the lock screen. I like to enable this because I flash a lot and it beats holding Volume Down and Power when powering on.

Tweak to your liking and enjoy!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xonelith:
Something I just noticed is my computer doesn't recognize the device now (after updating to June 15th). I'm pretty sure it was working using the June 13th version.

Anyone else having issues with this? I've enable both USB debugging and MTP and checked on different computers.

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
There was a partition manager commit that was merged on the 15th and would likely be in my latest build. Maybe this affected USB/MTP for the SR...

Josue, think commit 8635 could be part of it?

EDIT: [MENTION=5347452]xonelith[/MENTION], can you get a logcat of plugging it in to USB?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wvhellbilly333:
I myself personally haven't had a problem with this, last night while setting up the 6-15 build I plugged into my PC to make the edits to my SystemUI, Dialer, and MMS to resemble the iOS 7 like I always do and when I plugged in, it recognized my SR right away...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xonelith:
Here's the log. Hopefully I did it right:) I'm a bit lost on reading it.

Must be something on my end then. I always clean flash. I've tried different cables, rebooting the computer, rebooting the phone. Time for another clean flash I guess?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mmalka:
Thank you for the clear and comprehensive instructions. Anxious to do it today, and will post here the results. Also, thank you for the great work in keeping our Skyrockets alive!

Good luck, and I hope you enjoy it!

---------- Post added at 12:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:43 PM ----------

Maybe I missed it but I don't see any external USB connection events in that log. :confused: Almost all audio-related.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] prbassplayer:
Sadly I'd say it's just Samsungs driver being derp like usual. You know I've owned a captivate a d2att, mako and Honami. I've worked with i9100, i727, i777 and I9300, and I've never seen such crap drivers like Samsungs. I've never had issues with my mako or Z1 on Linux or Windows like I've had with Samsung devices.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xonelith:
I didn't notice it either, but I'm really not familiar with the output. Should it say something about USB? Not sure why it's full of Audio stuff either. I started the log, plugged in the phone, heard the beep and it identifies that it's charging. I stopped the log at that point and saved.

I rebooted my phone last night multiple times and rebooted today on my work computer, and nothing. NOW it works after a second reboot....

Sorry for wasting everyone's time! I guess it is a driver thing just never had (or noticed) this before.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] _Jax_:

I don't know how difficult it is but any chance of cm theme manager coming to slim?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] shaggyskunk:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mmalka:
You guys are going to kill me for asking, but I am having a dumb day... I cannot find where to change the DPI, like in the previous SLIM ROMs. Where is it? (sorry!)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] shaggyskunk:
If dpi on the fly isn't in an AOSP Rom - Go to System - build.prop - (long press on build.prop) open in text editor - Scroll down to the lcd dpi value - Change it to what you want - Press Menu - Save & Exit - Reboot - Done ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mmalka:
That worked fine. Thank you!

I've been running the ROM for one day. Most of the functions are working fine so far, except for:

1- I tried to use the hack I always use after configuring the corporate e-mail, to bypass the requirement to lock the screen (found here). The tool keeps waiting for USB debugging mode, even thought I had it on and root access to Apps and ADB. I toggle both options off and on, to no avail.

2- On the home screen I added a widget (Beautiful Widgets) that I use on every ROM. The widget's bottom edge is being cut off, as if not fitting on the grid. Not sure how to fix (using Google Now launcher and DPI 240). This is probably a configuration issue as with the Nova launcher I was able to resize and fix. Not sure how to do it with the Google Now launcher...

Any help would be highly appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Andrw0830:
Try to change to DPI 215 using the method posted above. I find that DPI is perfect for both not cutting off widgets and allowing you to easily read the status bar icons. When you want to resize widgets, just press and hold on the widgets on the home screen and it should allow you to resize.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
I don't use Exchange myself, but maybe some others do. The patch you linked seems to be a replacement apk for Exchange. I would suggest asking for help there, and if there's something missing in Slim that's needed, we can look into it.

For the sake of discussion, what are your company's specific requirements for the use of Exchange on a mobile (Android) device? Has anyone successfully tried it?

I don't know what the corporate requirements are for Exchange, but I always thought that there needed to be work-arounds to allow it to work without lock screen security, which could be a violation of your company's policy, nevermind the security risk they face allowing a rooted device on the network. ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Look like we've gotten bumped again, now to 4.4.4-r1.

Here's a new build from last night, which FYI is one of the first ones compiled on my resurrected dual-boot laptop in a non-VM environment. It's currently untested, and feedback is welcome:

Slim-skyrocket-4.4.4.build.5.95-UNOFFICIAL-20140619-2249.zip

It doesn't look like the GApps changed (yet):

Slim GApps
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mmalka:
I will ask there. Never had this problem with previous ROMs, that is why I posted here first. The company requirement is to have lock screen and this patch circumvents it. I only lock my screen when working out of home. When at home, I like the flexibility of leaving it unlocked.

How do I do that? Using the original kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] redlinegt:
You install app called trickster mod or Rom toolbox. That allows you to tinker with cpu/kernel
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Beware, guys, there be lock-ups and reboot dragons...

I have cautioned in post 2 about changing governors until a known bug is worked out. The phone should default back to the Interactive governor upon reboot.

If you do this and have issues, please use the bug reporting tool in SlimCenter/BugReport, then go to forum.SlimRoms.net, start a new thread, and attach the Slim report zip file from your SD card.

You can also post the contents of proc/last_kmsg to pastebin.com and link it here.

The app Bootlog Uptime from the Play Store has settings you can configure to copy that file automatically upon crash. last_kmsg needs to be pulled quickly when the crash happens...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Just FYI, I didn't mean to alarm anyone. The ROM is stable, unless you switch governors. I'm looking into why and other kernel possibilities...
