[MENTION=4800121]Sultanxda[/MENTION] , quite by coincidence today, I noticed the last time I updated the manifest for the nightly builds was on 9/30. On 9/22 you Merged hercules and skyrocket manifests into single celox manifest which would have been the one I picked up. All the builds after 9/29 were having GPS and perhaps also this video recording issue (not sure when that started) which just happens to coincide with the manifest. Thoughts?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sultanxda:
Coincidence. The video recording bug is probably a kernel issue, and the Hercules & Skyrocket are very very similar devices. So similar that a Hercules ROM & kernel could be safely flashed on the Skyrocket and it would boot (everything would work correctly except for the gyroscope). They use the same GPS HAL (located in the msm8660-common tree), so it couldn't have broken GPS.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Me[kk]A:
Had to comment on the quality of this build. This is the ONLY Kitkat ROM that has given me and astounding increase in battery life. Everything else I've flashed has had me looking to plug in by mid day. At present with regular use I am still at 70% life. INCREDIBLE. Also, everything else is smooth, works flawlessly. Thank you for your work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sultanxda:
Updated the changelog with changes that have been taking place over the past few weeks. Also, there is a kernel-only update available (v1.4.6) with some improvements to the CPU Input Boost driver (this boosts the CPU for a short period of time whenever you touch the screen, making the phone feel much smoother).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raptorddd:
So new kernel must be always at

1134 to 1512 ghz

I could not lower to 192..

I have v 1.4,3 now..

Also nightlie feom the 20th

When was the camera improved resolution added??

phone call problems!

I have gone through a few different roms and it seems like every one of them I'm having call issues. like sometimes when I'm calling the phone does not ring thru the earpiece and then when they answer they cannot hear me. Then also when I receive a phone call the people cannot hear me and I also cannot hear them. Can you give me some advice on what might be happening? Thank you

Video camera is still broken on the 11/25 nightly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sultanxda:
Please elaborate. Camcorder is working fine for me...

EDIT: Looked at your logs again... If you can't record any videos at all then make a nandroid and perform a clean install (wipe /data).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dsfr:
Uninstall the update to Hangouts. Then reboot. This fixed the same issue for me.

[MENTION=4529793]SULTAN.[/MENTION].. Again. New 1.4.6 kernel is it suppose to alwaus run at high frequencies as i could not lower to 192. If so..build a have has 1.4.3 i see no link update to kernel 1.4.4 or 1.4.5 . or the one am using 1.4.3 ...i want to update to latest kernel where i can lower frequencies... I believed if i update rom new kernel will be on the rom.?? Pla

Please help

If 1.4.4 and 1.4.5 arw the same as 1.4.6 then can yu upload ..1.4.3. Please so this way i can update rom with same kernel
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sultanxda:
It does not always run at high frequencies... don't touch your phone at all for 1.5 seconds and the minfreq will go back down to 192MHz on its own. The minfreq is already set to 192MHz, so you do not need to change it. This is a feature of CPU Input Boost; every time you touch the screen or press a button on your phone, the minfreq will change to 1134MHz on its own for 1.5 seconds. If you do not touch your phone for more than 1.5 seconds then the minfreq will go back down to 192MHz on its own.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raptorddd:
[MENTION=237269]sultan[/MENTION] Thanks i get it now and will give it a try.. UPDATE. Can yoi please upload 1.4.3 i always like to use mine at 1026mghz i cant run it with 1.4.6 at 1026 please upload one of the newest where i can se it to 1026 please.. Thank you

Goodevening sir/maam,just want to ask if mobile data is Ok in this rom? I meant if i flash this rom can i use my mobile data? Thanks and Godbless to all. .
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Allknighter:
I think this might have worked only time will tell, thank you!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raptorddd:
Yes it will 2g.3g. Or 4g same as lte

All works in rhe rom only thing i know it wont work is. When you save a contact you cant save it to your sim card.. You can still save it to your phone but if you do a flash new contacrs that you added will erase. This hapoens in all rons.. I believe everything else works
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 1BadWolf:
On any ROM you can use the option to export your contacts to storage from the contacts/people app. It creates a file named 00001.vcf on the SD card which you can later import to the new ROM.

I usually save my contacts to my Gmail address (an option within the people app) now I can sign in to any android device or Gmail on my PC and I will have all my contacts, ready to go.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 1BadWolf:
Yeah, I just prefer to keep as much of my personal information off Google's servers as possible. It's much more secure on my SD card than it is floating around on a virtual cloud somewhere. But to each their own. I don't judge. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] southboy205:
This ROM is great, it runs very smooth and has a great battery life. I haven't ran into any problems other than having a problem getting my phones internal and external storage connected to my PC since I flashed this ROM, I'm still fairly new to all of this so I'm not totally sure what the problem is. Am I supposed to use the terminal emulator to move files back and forth? It's showing that it's connected to my PC as just "Android" now via "ACER Composite ADB Interface" from Google, and it used to automatically bring up an E: and F: for the internal storage. Thanks in advance
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] titanic_fanatic:
Try going to Settings -> Storage then press your menu key and choose USB Computer Connection and make sure MTP is selected. This should get your sdcards to mount ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] southboy205:
That fixed it, thanks so much man! :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] titanic_fanatic:
[MENTION=4800121]Sultanxda[/MENTION], I added persist.sys.usb.config=mtp,adb to have MTP selected by default to avoid this confusion with the sdcards not mounting ;)

Ethan deleted that when he reorganized all of our device trees -_-

The calling issues occur after using VoIP or Snapchat, and they should affect all KitKat ROMs here. That MSM8660 RIL thing was part of an upstream CM patch so I have it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] stunt111:
Thanks for this great ROM. I always had a low volume problem with my T989 even on the stock flash. I used the Volume+ app to "fix" the problem. It doesn't seem to work on anything newer than ice cream sandwich. Do you know of any app/fix that could get me some more gain ? Thanks in advance.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] notiboy07:

Thanks a lot Aaron! This rom is very stable.

Another question though (i hope you wont get tired), how do you enable or use the sweep to wake feature? when i tried the new kernel, 1.4.6 i think, it says that it has sweep to wake capability. However, i cant seem to make it work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] titanic_fanatic:
I don't think sultanxda has the advanced device settings in his rom, so you will need to use a file manager and browse to /sys/android_touch and there you will find a file called sweep2wake. Open that file and change it from 0 to 1. That will enable s2w. To use it, you must press each of the 4 buttons from left to right (not actually by sweeping).

Sweeping does work, but it's extremely touchy and you will most likely not be able to get it to work by sweeping so just pressing each button does the trick ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Thunder22:
[MENTION=440905]notiboy07[/MENTION]. I use the app called Tame by another member on xda to enable/disable sweep2wake. It can also toggle the display undervolt which is nice.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] notiboy07:
Thanks [MENTION=4859152]titanic_fanatic[/MENTION]!

It works! although you really have to press all the 4 buttons to make it work consistently.

Thank you [MENTION=2091011]Thunder22[/MENTION]! Will give it a try.

Thank you masters for your suggestions!

Just wanted to say welcome back Sultanxda!

We need all the help we can get to capture the beast that is cm12 - very glad to have you back on board! [emoji6]

[MENTION=4800121]Sultanxda[/MENTION] - I flashed the newest kernel to an older ROM build of yours and now I'm getting random reboots. It seems like the cpu is overheating and rebooting the phone as a failsafe.

- Was it ok to flash the new kernel with an older ROM? (cm-11-20140930-UNOFFICIAL-skyrocket)

EDIT: I reflashed the older kernel (1.3.4) and the rr's are completely gone.

I'd still like to know if the issue was caused by the older ROM build with the new kernel, or just the kernel itself?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] chunter2:
With the official CM builds for the skyrocket I could add a local.prop file to the data partition and the settings in it would get picked up by the system on boot. I can't seem to get it to work with this rom. I'm trying to add "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" to the local.prop file but it doesn't seem to pick it up. If I add it to the build.prop file in the system partition it works fine. The problem with this is when I flash a new version of the rom it overwrites the build.prop file. Am I missing something with the local.prop file?

Thanks

20141205 - Camera Bug?

[MENTION=4800121]Sultanxda[/MENTION]

This is *not* a complaint, just an observation... it seems that with the build from 20141205 the camera is doing something odd with the picture orientation. If I hold the phone in landscape mode and take a picture then when I got to review it it's rotated 90 degrees. AFAICT this did not happen in 20141201 or earlier builds.

Thanks for your hard work on this!

camera big

I noticed same problem. and video cam still broken. It seems that any sound recorder or google plus app (last few versions) will break the video camera on latest rom nightly. once broken I have to reflash rom and start all over. I wish someone would look at my cat log I just posted another below. I cant figure it out. But I have to have a video cam. I wonder if doing a more thorough wipe will help?

Bluetooth 4.0 LE on S II Skyrocket

Sorry if this is a dumb question... I have an S2 Skyrocket SGH-i727, currently with stock 4.1.2 JB, which supports Bluetooth 3.0, not 4.0. If I install this custom firmware will my phone support BT 4.0 LE, for use with gadgets that require it, like Motorola's Keylink and HTC's Fetch (BT LE tags for keeping track of keyrings and similar things)?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sultanxda:
About 3 days ago I finally found some time to hunt down this majestic beast. As it was running, I grabbed it by the horns and wrestled it to the ground, subduing it temporarily. While it was down, I took out my trusty hunting knife and began cutting off its luxurious fur. I managed to get fairly valuable furs like GPS, audio, camera, camcorder, sdcard, and even video playback. However, as I started cutting away at the modem, the creature began to move and ran away before I could get some mobile data and phone calls. For now I am satisfied with my loot and will retreat with my winnings before hunting it down again to get a hold of its prized mobile data and phone calls.

You're a Frickin straight up rockstar sultan for all your work on skyrocket/hercules. Everybody goes by most features and 40+ different governors but no you want stability first and only.

Thank you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cylverbak:
I'd also like to echo my thanks. Loving my SkyRocket again.

I do have a question. On the last build (cm-11-20141208-UNOFFICIAL-skyrocket.zip) I notice a full-screen announcement to the left of my Home screen with a big cheery "Get some extensions?". Is there some way to remove that thing? I'm quite happy with the way I've got the phone set up and have no desire to install anything else at this point.

I tried rolling back to 20141205 but the screen is still there. I haven't done a clean install for quite a while. I really, really hope I don't have to wipe and start over :)

Which I guess leads to, what build did that "Extensions" screen first show up?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rogersa2k:
Okay, I see what's happening now. I always keep display rotation turned off. However, the default camera app - as well as Google Camera - override this and know when my phone is in landscape mode. It is that way for every rom on every device I have. However, that isn't the case with builds from 2014/12/05 and newer.

Did you try to add back the widget?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jshamlet:
A couple of questions:

First, I'm still on an older nightly that had working GPS. I'm fairly certain it wasn't the kernel that broke, but something the CM side. Is it possible to continue updating just the kernel while keeping the rest of the userland intact?

Second, AT&T released a small update that updates the radio/firmware. Has anyone tested it with this kernel? I'm inclined to let sleeping dogs be, but I'm curious to know if anyone has tried it.

Thanks!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jshamlet:
Check this thread. My phone hasn't run an AT&T image in a long time, so I can't get the OTA directly. It may be available through the support website, though.

I ask him too for 1.4.3 i think where i could lower to 1026 ghz.. I didnt like the new one where it stays mostly at 1133 cant remember.. Never got a reply so i went back to another rom.. I was trying to back up from 11-20-2014 just the kernwl but wifi would not work.. Good luck
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoXion1:
Yeah, well the problem I faced with the new one (with the cpu input boost driver) is my phone kept randomly rebooting due to cpu overheating. All I need is the latest kernel prior to the inclusion of that feature - 1.3.4 doesn't seem to handle RAM very well or isn't as stable.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raptorddd:
Yes that cpu input boost driver woumd not allow me to lower to 1026 mhz.. So what you want is the same kernel i was trying to back up wich is 1.4.3 after that he updated to 1.4.5-1.4.6 i think in .. 1.4.5 he forgot tu turn input boos drivers to work.. So we either need 1.4.3 or the next from that check the changelog.. 1.4.3 its the one you want not .1.3.4 and so do i... My battery dont last long.. No wakelocks it last more than other roms but i have to lower it to 1026 as it drains less..

The cpu input boost frequency can be changed in this sysfs file:

---------- Post added at 07:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:58 AM ----------

Great ill give it a try..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] titanic_fanatic:
A boot.img needs to be packaged into a flashable zip and that zip needs to flash it to /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 which is the boot partition.

You could modify an existing Rom zip and remove all the Rom parts and leave the boot.img part in the updater script and replace it's boot.img with this one. If on Windows, make sure you use 7zip as it will maintain the zip integrity required for android flashable zips ;)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] titanic_fanatic:
Hey, here is what you do. Create a file called 93setinputboost without extension in this directory:

/etc/init.d

Then open it with a file editor, es note editor is perfect if you have es file explorer installed. Inside that file, copy and paste the following codes:

Make sure that there is one blank line at the end of the file, and save the file. Then set the permissions on the file you created to match the permissions of the other file(s) in that directory.

Now on boot, the value should be automatically changed.

The input boost does not have a max/min value. It's only 1 value. It jumps to that value for 1.5 seconds every time you touch the screen.

A similar script can be used to set the s2w as well although, I have a better method if sultanxda wants to implement it into his Rom.

[MENTION=4800121]Sultanxda[/MENTION], if your interested, check out my msm8660-common device tree for the advanced settings app that they removed in cm10.2. I have added settings to control the cpu input boost and s2w/s2s. You might find it useful to include with your Rom. I also added a sysfs to enable/disable cpu input boost and a corresponding setting in the advanced settings.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoXion1:
I downloaded the zip file you included here named 1.4.3, but the Aroma Installer states that's it's 1.4.6 and even has a changelog to 1.4.6. Am I missing something?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Thunder22:
[MENTION=4736980]NoXion1[/MENTION]. Zip is from an newer date but has 1.4.3 kernel and modules inside. I like being able to see his changes for each kernel. If you flash it, it will be 1.4.3 in the about phone settings. Been doing this for quite some time for myself.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoXion1:
Thanks very much for clearing that up. I saw the file size is different from 1.4.6 so thought it was something like that. Off to flash this puppy! Thanks again. [emoji1]

EDIT & UPDATE: OK so after flashing kernel 1.4.3 (and prev. 1.4.6) my phone still encountered the lockups and random reboots. Keep in mind this is while using the 9-30-2014 ROM release. I finally managed to get 1.3.8 back on my phone and it runs as smooth as butter (and rightly so considering this ver. of the kernel was the one released w/ the ver. of Sultan's ROM I'm using).

Alright then, lesson learned: it's not always a good idea to flash a newer kernel version while using an older ROM build. [emoji51]
