Aospa 6.0 - 06-30-16

AOSPA is back now with v6.0 Marshmallow. Current features are listed here: https://plus.google.com/+ParanoidAndroidCorner.

The ROM doesn't come with root, so you'll have to flash SuperSU manually. For GApps, OpenGapps are recommended (either Full GApps or Pico). You'll also need to virtually partitioned to flash this ROM. Instructions are in the second post.

Download: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=74826

SuperSU: https://download.chainfire.eu/964/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.74-2-20160519174328.zip

GApps: http://opengapps.org

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] zappa41:
Only problem I have so far is that I can't get root. When I flash the SuperSU given above it says no boot.IMG available.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bryan2894:
SuperSU fix

OK to get root working flash the patch below, then flash the SuperSU package again. It should work after that.

Aospa 6.0 - 07-06-16

New update is up. This fixes opening the Recents view by long pressing the Home button. This release also adds the Button menu in Settings, where you can customize the actions for the hardware keys or enable the NavBar.

You should be able to download the update via the ParanoidHub app in Settings > About Phone.

Wiped internal storage, wiped system, cache and data.

Flashed pa_celox-6.0.1-20160706.zip and open gapps arm 6.0 pico (also tried full) with TWRP.

After boot, I kept getting setup wizard has stopped. I managed to fix this by setting the permission.

Can somebody please help me?

Managed to get it working. Had to reinstall stock rom for some reason.

Had CM11.

Installed stock rom

Installed twrp 2.8.7 (3.0.0 did not show me the internal storage option in repair and change. And 3.0.2 kept saying invalid option selected.)

Followed the partition steps mentioned in post #2.

Flashed rom. Immediately flashed gapps pico. (NO REBOOT BETWEEN)

Wipe dalvik/cache

Reboot

Is this an official build, may I ask? It restarts randomly, and hotspot does not work when I use Skyrocket on Tmobile.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bryan2894:
Pa 6.0.3 - 08-12-16

Ok, new update is finally up. This build should fix RIL issues, emergency calling, and Wi-Fi tethering/hotspot. There are also fixes in place that should help with app crashing. Let me know if this still happens, as I haven't come across this issue.

Builds can be downloaded via Androidfilehost or via OTA.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bryan2894:

I have tried both of Bryan's paranoid and cm13 Roms for skyrocket. I use my skyrocket for my daily driver, so which rom is better for speed/reliability/stability/battery? I see that both of the roms are often updated, so I would be fine with both of the Roms, but which would be suggested for a daily driver?

Hi.

My phone wont read my Sim card after i flashed this. unfortunately i forgot to do a backup. is there any way i can fix this ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] achillius:
Rom testing

[MENTION=2107489]bryan2894[/MENTION], the ROM worked just fine for me, thank you very much man! :)

And i wanna ask you about something , every time ppl call me, they tell me that they're hearing their own voices echo as they speak to me.

I thought i has something to do with ROMs, but after flashing your latest ROM, the problem still there.

So, any ideas .. ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bryan2894:
No issues here. Does the SIM card work in another phone?

Does this issue occur in other ROMs?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jansenw95:

This rom runs like a dream so far after 24 hours. One problem, though; my auto-rotate doesn't work. None of my apps will go into landscape. It worked fine with some PA lollipop rom that I had before. Suggestions?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tawrus80:
Not sure how, but it sorted itself out. Definitely feeling the age of this old phone, though. Have to clear recent apps pretty regularly to keep it usable.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] zappa41:
I constantly clear my recent apps. Greenify apps and make sure deep sleep is working in CPU spy. IMO if you do all that, this phone is a beast. I've been using this phone ass my DD for about 5 1/2 years now. My wife keeps telling me that I need to upgrade to a new phone. No way! I love this phone,i will never get a newer phone made nowadays
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] nawlage:
I flashed this aospa 6.0.1 with pico gapps and had no issues. I then flashed the patch and SuperSU for root. Since then I've had terrible troubles with data and service.

My apns are correct.

About Phone shows my correct baseband (ucmc1 when I first flashed, now uxuma7 since I've been trying to get service back).

My imei is correct in About Phone and via dialer code.

Sim Status shows my phone number.

The phone occasional will connect to edge and even more rarely move from edge to 3g to LTE, then back to 3g then lose all service again.

Searching for network operators yields att, tmobile, verizon. If I select att, it says "registering on att..." forever before finally saying it can't register. If I select "choose automatically" it says "registered on network", and shows signal bars but still no data and calls/texts still don't work.

I've tried cm13 and candy six and a different radio (uxuma7) and haven't been able to get service back. I'm thinking of trying to go back to slimLp, which is what I had before the jump to aospa 6.0.1, to see if that f brings back my service. Any suggestions other than that?

*EDIT: sorry.. I meant aospa 6.0.3 not 6.0.1*

Surely just because "cm is dead' doesn't mean that their roms or roms based off of them no longer work and cause devices to no longer pick up a signal..

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bryan2894:
Camera is still broken. I'm trying to figure that out. For storage, until the next build is released you can edit /system/build.prop and set "ro.sys.sdcardfs" to false. That should fix storage.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cdnron:
In addition to the camera and extended reboot not working, my battery life has tanked with Nougat PA. I wanted to test it with a clean install so I clean wiped and installed PA 7.1.3, using Pico OpenGapps. Overnight the battery dropped 51%! I didn't install anything else or open any other program. I'm back on Lineage and the battery seems fine.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mmalka:
I need help. I have an old S2 Skyrocket that I mostly use to listen to music. I was using a SLIM ROM but was running out of space for updates, so decided to try this one, for the extra space that virtualization would provide.

I followed the instructions posted by the OP and everything seemed fine, but when I started using the ROM I noticed that the file explorer (tried several different ones, like ES File Explorer) was not being able to access the main storage (the internal SD card): I was getting error messages such as "Loading Error! Access denied". However, if I go to Settings > Storage > Explore, I can see all the folders and files. It shows 4.07 Gb used of 14.68 Gb. I am not using a microSD card.

If I connect the phone to the PC via USB, I see "Internal Shared Storage" with all the folders and files.

I repeated the flashing/installation process several times, always going back to stock first, but ended up with the same results.

I can install apps from the Google Play, but if I want for example to copy an apk file from the PC to the phone and then execute it on the phone, I have no means to access and execute the apk file on the phone using an explorer app. Aptoide is also failing.

Other than that, everything seems to be working fine, the phone is much faster than it used to be. Any ideas of what is the issue and how to fix it?

Thank you
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Andrw0830:
Working great! One thing I've noticed is when recording in 1080p, the video saved says 720p. The file size reflects 1080p though. This happens in both AOSP Camera and Google Camera. Also the zoom still works when recording in 1080p which never happened before on this device. Besides that camera and rom works awesome!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bryan2894:
You can choose a different battery icon by going to Settings > Battery and clicking the icon in the top right.

Recording in 1080p causes issues, so to workaround it I had to lower the resolution down to 720p.

[MENTION=2107489]bryan2894[/MENTION], I have been running this rom for a couple days and I have noticed another issue that I thought I'll bring to your attention. When I play music after a few minutes, I will get a sudden stutter with the following info in a logcat:

AudioSink (W): Event underrun

AudioSink (D): Callback!!!

AudioPlayer (E): This indicates the event underrun case for LPA/Tunnel.

The good thing, is the other roms I've experience this on, it happened a lot sooner, making listening to music really heard to accomplish. This rom however, the issue only happens in minutes. It isn't a big deal since this rom is so smooth and stable, but I thought I should let you know.:)

Edit: I have looked through a couple sources and some people think it is to do with the kernel, but I am not too sure.

Here are a couple of posts that mentions the problem and a possible solution.

Two small things I faced:

1. If I go into Settings->More->Voice+, the settings app crashes.

2. If I select color theme as day dream from Settings, start the preview and stop it, a crash dialog pops up.

I had installed the modular mini version of gapps instead of the full one mentioned in the first page, don't know if it was because of that.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Andrw0830:
Do you get any stuttering audio if you play a few songs in a row without skipping? I am just wondering as when it happens, the logcat displays a LPA error. Also while I am not sure it effects the rom, but I get the following error: "audio_a2dp_hw - adev_set_prameters: Error: set param called even when stream out is null." This is without Bluetooth turned on and I experience it on Beta 5, but will try the new update when it's available to see if it solves the problem.

Edit: I just did a test with while listening to music with Google Play Music, to launch Catlog and once I did I heard stuttering and the same LPA error message happened as reported a week ago. Everything else is good.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dgoby:
Great ROM you've made here. I've come across just a few things.

1. It likes to lag when leaving an app (like a game) and you try to pull the nav bar down. Sometimes it will sit there and then go to the lock screen.

2. Picture messages either won't download or takes several hours to download.

3. I've had the BT only lock up twice while trying to connect to my car. Much better than most Kit Kats which is every time. So 99% accurate, well done.

Other than those, this rom is solid and very responsive. Keep up the great work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Andrw0830:
Like the cLock app and since ParanoidAndroid doesn't come with Apollo I grabbed that from CM as well. I know I can use Google Play Music it is just my preference.
