rom+kernal 4.4.4 [cyan mod11]

Went to these download links and its showed more than one link...so im not sure which of the three are the correct ones to use...could you please let me know the three I need to download.......im a noobe....dont want to brick my skyrocket i727 can you please help me!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raptorddd:
If you mean on the first post..

It says rom.. Thats the pnone rom image..

Then you have gapps wich are google apps like you tube.. Gmail.. Google servoces.. The playstore ect..

Then the kernel.. But kernel its included in rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Ragarianok:
Take a deep breath!

After you click on each link (ROM, gapps, kernel), you'll need to click on the first link on that next page for the most recent version.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Ragarianok:
Noticed that SystemUpdateService is causing a wakelock that prevents deep sleep. Looked into it with DisableService and noticed the SUS is disable in both Google Services Framework and Google Play Services. I enabled SUS under GPS and my phone now goes into deep sleep like a champ. HOWEVER, it doesn't stick after reboot.

Is there any fix for this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] holeindalip:
Boots and runs fine on stock cm11
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] _Jax_:
Deep sleeps perfectly! You are the man, sultan!

Will the ROM itself be updated too for any new cm updates? Just curious

Awesome update though. I can finally use this and its running fantastic!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sultanxda:
Yeah, but before that I want to iron out all the wrinkles in the kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] zun321:
Camera and Camcorder!

bro what causes the camcorder prob??...is it the rom or the kernel???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] _Jax_:
For what its worth, for the camcorder I took the Camera ICS app from dirty unicorns and it works great. No issues using it on this rom.

On another note, its not deep sleeping as well as I thought. Bluesleep and msm_serial_hs_dma are still keeping it up. Deep sleep still shows up, just not as present as it should be.

HOWEVER, with that said... I don't think BBS is entirely accurate or its so minimal that these wakelocks aren't even doing anything. I haven't lost battery any quicker than usual. In fact, I'd say I've lost less than usual since unplugging from my charger this morning.

I'm going to keep it and see how it goes because it really seems that these wakelocks aren't doing anything or I'm getting non-accurate stats from BBS.

Edit: I guess forget all that I just said. It seems that the tables have turned and its snoozing pretty good again lol. I don't f***ing get it :cyclops: haha. But whatever I'm not complaining. Solid as a rock! Thanks again!!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sultanxda:
New kernel, v1.0.3, has been attached to the bottom of this post for testing. Changes:

Ported HTC MDP gamma color enhancement feature

Added MDP gamma color enhancement calibration from HTC One M7

Improved screen colors (now colors are less saturated)

Backported MSM rotator from CAF kk_2.7

Let me know how the new display colors look for you. The colors look better on my device, but every phone is different, so I'd like your feedback.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] _Jax_:
Nice!!

I guess we should do a clean install to avoid any complications? W/e I'll clean install it anyways.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] burgeswe:
I love this kernel! I'm getting really bad screen artifacts with 1.0.3, worse than the one that came with the ROM. Restart still fixes it for a while

Great work!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sultanxda:
I haven't experienced any screen artifacts, so it's getting harder for me to test it. At this point I'm just going to start shooting blindly at it :p I don't understand why ion_iommu is causing a problem (we don't even use iommu), so maybe backporting newer Ion drivers will help. Only problem is that our proprietary camera HAL was built for the old Ion API :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] _Jax_:
I understand some of these words! :cyclops::laugh:

Everythings running smoothly here. Haven't experienced any artifacts yet. Don't overly expect to either as the last kernel gave me no issues either :good:.

Awesome stuff.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] JimmyD_92:
Running great on today's nightly. The color adjustments seem to have improved my display, which has always had a slight blue tint.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Andrw0830:
I can confirm this works on the SlimKat rom that [MENTION=3877985]prbassplayer[/MENTION] posted on his thread. I noticed though that on official CM and SlimKat that Google Camera crashes when selecting Video mode. I am pretty sure it is something related to the kernel as the stock kernel doesn't have the issue. I think the updated Camera wrapper that was posted on CM has something to do with it and just wanted to let you know. I know the kernel is meant for this rom, but maybe with the updated Camera Wrapper, it would help with your post about using the old "Ion APL." which you mention may be contributing with the random artifacts.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sultanxda:
wat

Camera wrapper only wraps the proprietary camera lib with minor changes to make camera fully functional. The old Ion API issue is coming from vendor.camera.msm8660.so; because Samsung built that library (the camera HAL) for the old Ion API, the camera doesn't work correctly with new Ion drivers (using the camera crashes the phone). In order to fix this, we would have to modify vendor.camera.msm8660.so. The required changes are too major to be done via hex editing, so I would have to either hack the new Ion drivers to work with our camera HAL, or create a new, open source HAL from scratch using CAF source (we don't have the source code for our current camera HAL).

Both of these options are extremely difficult, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to get the new Ion drivers fully functioning.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Andrw0830:
I was just saying I noticed it happened once the camera wrapper changes were implemented so that's why I thought that was the cause. Of course I am not saying to do all that, I was just quoting you in case it helps. The fact the stock camera works just fine on both CM 11 and SlimKat, I am not complaining. Thanks for the work, sorry you thought I was asking you to do all that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sultanxda:
No, I was just clarifying on the Ion thing, as you said you thought the camera wrapper could help the situation with the new Ion drivers (even though it cannot).

I haven't tested the merged upstream camera wrapper, so I don't know what change in it could have broken camcorder in the Google camera.

EDIT: Wait, my kernel and the official CM results in the Google camera crash? I'm a bit confused at the moment.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Andrw0830:
Just applying your kernel on the official CM rom results in the crash when switching to Video mode on Google Camera. On your rom however, I noticed it only crashes when accessing the settings in Google Camera. I know when they made the changes to the Camera Wrapper they had to make a small change to allow you to even access the settings in Google Camera without crashing so it may be having a similar effect here. Sorry for the confusion.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sultanxda:
New ROM with a new kernel uploaded. The screen glitches should be gone now :) Battery life should be improved as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xxboarderxx:
Where can I find the new kernel? Found the rom. Thanks!

Edit: never mind... Realized it is in the rom. Testing now
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sultanxda:
Uploaded a new build with the CM power HAL back in. Performance took a hit without the CM power HAL, so I added it back in the May 11 build. This should be good to go as a daily driver now :)

Am on the lolli pop build and it sometimes wont go to sleep either.. I think i have sus disabked but ill check it out.. On mine qhen i had the sim card inserted it would not deep sleep . removing will go to deep sleep.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Ragarianok:
I ended up going into Settings/Privacy/Privacy Guard/Advanced and set "Wake up" and "Keep Awake" to denied under Google Play Services, Google Play Store, and Google Services Framework. So far, so good.

I think the wakelock is caused by the recent Play Store update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raptorddd:
Ill give that a try.. As my sus. Was already disabled..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ocd_amp:
Can you guys please test this to see if this is indeed the issue with wakelock? The SUS is often a good thing, and I would rather not disable it. I have installed CPU Spy to see if it goes into deep sleep state or not. I will test it over night and report back. If anyone else has found any info about this, please post. Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raptorddd:
Mine kept awaked after disabling sus.

To make it too deep sleep . may not be the correct procedure but it works.. Is put in airplane mode. Then keep power button press to hard reset let it boot don't touch screen let it turn screen off for a minute turn on . turn off airplane and let it deep sleep ..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Lakland:
This ROM is excellent. I was on beanstalk, although it have a lot of options and controls, it was unstable, some lag and the bluetooth do not work properly. I flash unicorns, but the phone went into a bootloop. Then I installed this one. Rock solid, very good performance for almost 4 year phone. The only thing is the battery life. I just implemented the suggestions above today, lets see how it goes. But, when I configure in privacy to deny the wake and keep awake, the re is messages that pop up time to time that google services has stopped. Keep you posted and thanks to the developer in this one!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raptorddd:
If only we could find another battery that will last longer.. Same size i dont like those extwnded batteries
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Lakland:
yep! but no luck I have another one in my pocket just in case
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ocd_amp:
Here are my initial test results

Raptorddd: First of all, many thanks to you for being such a strong supporter of this phone, and as well as in this thread. I am sure the Dev is happy to see this keep going. And why not I might add, just because our phone is old does not mean it isn't one of the best even to this day.

Android System 16%

Cell Standby 11%

Phone Idle 7%

Android OS 5%

Other stuff like launcher, Ui, etc, all 2-3%

CPU SPY v 0.4.0 Stats:

1512Mhz - 3m:12s

CPU Spends time around 1Ghz range when it needs to do stuff.

1134 Mhz at 14m:11s -- this is the sweet spot

192Mhz at 16m:47s

Deep Sleep at 6h:22m:52s

So my phone is going into Deep Sleep no problem.

Privacy Guard is OFF. I do not use it.

Our Battery is the biggest problem. Samsung designed an under powered battery for a Power hungry phone. The phone needs high infrequence often to chew through Apps and if it had a more powerful battery, This phone would still be one of the fastest phones around.

I am assuming we are all on Sultan's latest 4.4.4 with the latest Kernel? Is there anything else I should check? Everything seems fine on my end except Battery life and There is only so much a developer can do to help, the fault is Samsung's! This is the most Stable ROM / Kernel I have ever used on this phone besides the Stock that it came with.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raptorddd:
Thanks ocd.. I think if we find bigger capacity battery we could even overclocked a bit.. So it would be faster.. But at 1.5gjz seems ok..

Plus, I have the 3800 mAh extended battery and case and it gives you double the screen time and use. If you were going to buy one, I'd go that route.

I am using the build from the 19th, and it's working pretty smooth.

I have found 3 problems.

1. When using the Google Voice App to making out going calls it hangs up after initiating a call and i sometimes just hear 1 ring before it hangs up.

2. When using google play music and I hit home to switch from the app, it will switch the music to the speaker instead of my headphones

3. When using bluetooth and switching some apps, it switches the phone to speaker.

I have all 3 and it works great!

Now THAT looks SOLID! That's quite a battery!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Ragarianok:
Turn off "OK Google" and it should stop switching to phone speaker. This is an issue with the ROM that was mentioned before.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Lakland:
I been using this for 3 weeks now..Solid ROCK ROM!!!, I tweak somethings with privacy to avoid Google Play services been awake the whole time, and is very good! Sometines the GPS shows turn on the battery screen , although I disable the GPS, but with a reboot, it clears. I will look into the battery previous posts are suggesting to see if I go that route too..

THanks SULTAN for this excellent ROM. I may take the plunge for the 5.0.2 for this phone too
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] StarKilLer-MOK:
That worked, and now google voice is working as well, OMG, Nirvana!!!

It looks the google voice wierdness was related to OK google, I can live without OK google, esp since they took the Dr. Who Easter egg out!

Okay... I have been away from this whole modding for far too long >.>

I have gotten my skyrocket which has a signal issue to have this rom.

Everything seemed fine but I believe it is suffering from the 4.4.4 Kit Kat "bug" of problems with SD.

I try to open any camera app and a message appears saying "Insert an SD card before using the camera".

I have done so and it doesn't change anything. I want to know a simple permanent fix if available.

***I also changed my Boot Animation but could not get the sound working from this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1330380

Simply download the flashable zip, but Do not flash it , Extract the bootanimation.zip and you guys should have the original Galaxy S2 boot animation. It is not exact same quality as Samsung proprietary one, but it is good enough and I am using it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ocd_amp:
More information for Everyone.

Important Edit: Please note that this package has been tested for this particular ROM ONLY. If you use it with any other ROM, you will likely cause a boot loop. If you use it with another CM11 ROM ie. CM 11 nightly, you may run into other misc. issues.

I have modded Sultan's CM11 Framework-res.apk into a flashable zip file.

Framework-Res_CM11SkyRocket_FlashableZip

Flash, Reboot, Reset Google Play Services (Clear Cache/Data > Reboot ) SystemUpdateService is now running by default.

Just In Case

Be sure to backup your original framework-res.apk or pull the original from the ROM, you won't need to but just in case. If you want to ReFlash the original, Just use 7Zip, Extract my Zip, Remove My Mod, Put the Original Back in, And Rezip it using Store Method, Flash.

Some games not working

Hi,

first i'd like to say thanks a lot to the dev, cuz its the first stable kk that i found for this device and i like it, its fluid and there is no lag, except for one thing, i have a few games (Clash of Clans and also Boom Beach) and it seems like there is a problem somewhere. These apps can launch, but they crash on the loading screen. and i dont have any "Clash of Clans stopped working, do you want to stop it?". The apps just shuts down. I also need to mention that these apps were moved on the sd card, and in the same conditions on Paranoid Android Rom, they were working perfectly. I tried moving the game directly on the phone storage, no success. After a reboot, the game works, everything loads perfectly. A few hours later, the game doesnt want to start. I've never had any of these problems with other nightly and unstable ROMs.

I am also wondering if its is normal that after a reboot, the apps on the sd card take sooo much time to appear in the launcher (using nova launcher beta). It looks like they dont want to load.

so yeah thx again for the ROM and i'd be happy if someone has a solution to those few bugs.

Hi guys, just here to inform you that I have been working on the Keyguard bug diligently -

##Bug## Wipe Dalvik/WipeCache > Reboot > Desktop/Launcher appears first for 100-200ms > Lockscreen appears.

I will use whatever free time I can get to try and fix this ages old issue. From what I know so far, CM devs knew about it, but in an effort to massively push CM11 fast, they abandoned this issue. This issue is not just in this ROM but in every single CM ROM from JellyBean to KitKat (all versions). However I am afraid that by the time this gets resolved, most people would have moved on> I believe this issue has been resolved with Lollipop. In any case, I am not going to jump ship, I'll do what I can.

Thanks Sultan for the Kernel update.
