Folks this banter is unnecessary... If you need help, just ask. C'mon.

Sultan has put a lot of his time and hard work into this. And it's free, so if you're unhappy and don't want to ask for help or help troubleshoot, there are plenty of other ROMs to try.

Did anyone enable/tested ART on this ROM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] _Jax_:
Yeah, Don't feed the troll.

Just finished setting up the latest update and it seems even snappier. Everything is fantastic as always. Thanks!! :highfive:

No need, the internet has everything I require:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raj3366:
I did try it, while it showed faster app startup, the device ran out of space (may be because I have lot of apps), so had to revert back to dalvik.

I did not see any issues because of switching between dalvik & ART, so you may want to try and see how it works for you. remember to backup - so you have the option to revert back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] SoCalHTCFuze:
I'm hoping all your changes are checked in, I had to build it locally using your manifest to get a installable zip. The Dev-Host link was insanely slow both the times I completed were corrupt.

Given the above, so far its looking good, 10News app didn't lockup with Hardware Overlay on and using the latest PA Micro on a fresh install and this rom is very solid. I'm afraid I'm all out of obscure bugs :good: Nice work!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] shinzz:
Thank you. I did test it on mine but got nothing but system.UI crashes and etc. It was completely broke once I switched ART & had to revert back to dalvik through ADB.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raj3366:
I did see similar issues (system.UI crashes) in another ROM where I tried ART. But didn't see such issues on this ROM. (maybe because I had less apps on this ROM compared to the other) I still got an error, in this ROM, like there was no space left to receive new SMSs and it gave me an option to clean up - that's how close the device went on the available space. If you really want to see the difference, one option is to try ART after installing the new ROM + gapps, before restoring all your apps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sultanxda:
Yeaahhhh... Goo.im is still doing maintenance, so I applied for developer access on AndroidFileHost. AFH is pretty fast for me, so we'll see how that goes.

I can still think of some very obscure bugs that need fixing :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xonelith:
I concur. This thing is great [MENTION=4800121]Sultanxda[/MENTION]! I've had no issues at all. Very smooth and responsive even with all the apps I've installed:)

Dirty flashed to the latest; seems just as solid. Loaded 0620 after spending most of a year on a 10.2 nightly (one that didn't drive me crazy over bluetooth restarts). Really happy with this ROM+Kernel, and very much appreciate the effort you've put into what is actually a great daily driver.

Ha ha! You want bugs to fix?!

BLN (ha ha! yes, you know you want it!)

Sweep2Wake (sure, why not.)

and..

MHL. (it worked in 10 at one point; I think there is some proprietary samsung binaries?, probably require some hacks to version spoof a kernel module, and a pile of general madness.. Intriguing, no?!)

The thing is, that's all I can even think of that could be added. Great job man. If you need a tester, consider me available.

[I should add that I jest, in that I love the stability you have with a minimum of kernel changes; clearly it's a good idea as it's resulted in the best DD for me since uh.. 10.1?]
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kawyboy:
Probably a waste of my time, but what recovery did you use? Fresh clean install or dirty? Sultans kernel or cyanogen?

I have used every rom for this phone and this is by far the best and smoothest.

It also has the quickest responders for help.

Thanks again to sultan and all the people helping.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raj3366:
ROM is rock solid so far. thanks for the update (because of vbus wakelock, I was rebooting the device after every charge). Now that's also fixed, no complaints with this ROM.:good::highfive::cowboy:

I did see once toggling wifi quick settings brought up the lock screen, but that was when google was restoring the apps from playstore (during ROM setup). It didn't happen once the ROM is settled down.

ROM was already running smooth and was giving good battery life - but I also flashed the PurePerformances to the ROM, now this is super fast and even better battery life. :cool:

Also, I saw that the op in that thread is open to include his work into any ROM.

Bug - When playing music from an app (Play Music, Deezer, ect.) using headphones, when I go to my home screen, the music starts playing from the phone's speaker. As soon as I open the app drawer, pull down the notifications, or anything like that it starts playing over the headphones again. Any ideas as to the cause of the problem??? I had similar bugs when using ParanoidAndroid (RC's and the Final version).

The one that is named "Skyrocket", so v1.3.3... The AndroidFileHost download link in the OP only has 1 file: Sultan-kernel-Pure-v1.3.3-Skyrocket-Aroma.zip

After placung them on sd card i notice SKYROCKET .. I thought these were beta kernels but its already included on the rom..

---------- Post added at 05:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:07 AM ----------

@sultan .. When using mass storage . theres 2 problems.. Fisrt one i believe that happen when 4.3 came out.. Is that whenn you transfer files to sd card it copies the files but they dont show up.sometimes they appear on the phone but when you want to look at thw file theres nothing on sd card it does not show tranfered files but phone shows them on for example gallery.. Pic are there but in the sd card it dissapears..???

2nd .. Is that sometimes while transfering files using mass storage it turns off and i had to power off then on and it works.. For a while.. Nice rom by the way

Hello everyone, from yesterday afternoon, SystemUpdateService has been keeping the phone awake all the time. Searched around the forum, followed the advices like clearing data for Google play services, turning off the location services, but no success so far.

Battery drain is not high, but still drains more than normal for this ROM . It drained 30% in like 40 minutes.

Anyone is facing similar issue? Any help to resolve this issue is much appreciated.

PS: betterbatterystats showed me that wakelock. How do I capture the screenshot? Tried power+volume down didn't work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rrktt:
I have the same issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
It was mentioned in the Slim TRDS GApps thread here that the latest Google Play Services, 5.0.82, addresses the wake lock issues.

What version are you on?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raj3366:
Thanks dan, I have the 5.0.82 version installed. Cleared the data multiple times after the update (including reboot after cleaning the data). Still having that wakelock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] technoid1964:
I had a similar issue, cleared the data, uninstalled updates and reinstalled updates after a reboot, cleared it up...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raj3366:
Fixed "SystemUpdateService" wakelock

Thanks [MENTION=3257605]techni[/MENTION]od1964, but I don't see an option to uninstall the updates. System Settings -> App -> All -> Google play services, "uninstall updates" button is not enabled for me. I was trying too many options and I might have done something that disabled that button.

What finally worked for me was the suggestion in BetterBatterStats thread here. There is app in Google play store "Disable Service", install it, open it, go under System Apps Tab -> Google play services, check "SystemUpdateService", reboot. viola, the SystemUpdateService wakelock (might be there after first reboot, but disappeared after that) is no more there. But it would be unchecked automatically upon reboot. That's should be right as we don't want google to be checking for OTA updates.

PS: Please hit thanks if it helped you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] IndiNix:
I disabled the following to get rid of the SystemUpdateService wake lock:

SystemUpdateService$Receiver

SystemUpdateService$ActiveReceiver

SystemUpdateService$SecretCodeReceiver

Which has me back to deep sleeps.

One question - has there been ul/dl indicators for mobile data on this rom? I'm sure there was, but it's clear that kitkat's ui changes included removing it from the status bar.. but I'm sure I had it? Have I lost my mind?!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] gw22:
Just trying this out today - at first glance it looks awesome.

Having an issue with wifi - I can connect to network, and can ping devices internally on the network, can ping google dns servers, can ping google.com with terminal server, but cannot open any web page thru wifi - even an internal page from my router. If I turn off wifi I can get web pages no problem

Don't know if I missed something, or did something wrong
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] technoid1964:
You're the first person in 344 posts to have this issue. Did you do a clean install? Dirty install? Wipe cache/Davik? Try another router/AP?

If it's still happening, get a log, the tutorial to get a log is a couple pages back. And post the log here, it might help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] gw22:
Yes, just wanted to see if anyone else had seen it. Seems it's network related as I can access web on another AP

Thanks for the reply

Only issue I have had was gps signal getting lost on 5 freeway from San Diego to LA last night. First time this would happen. I would get gps to lock in then 10 min later it would fall off "gps signal lost". this is while leaving google maps (6.14.3) app on navigation mode during the car trip. have not had this much trouble before since being rooted with 4.3 android. was not loosing data. just gps. I use maps and gps 90% of the time in the car. It was interesting but I would click the icon in the "battery saving" gps icon in the settings pull down menu then back to full power (toggle on and off) and then gps would come back on. Not sure if that was related but there did seem to be some relation. I did this like 10 times. nothing else going on with the phone that could throw it off. since installing this rom I have no issues to speak of with gps. just last night. very odd.

I have cat log app but have not looked to see how to isolate logs for just a certain time frame or issue. I think now all the logs are gone form 7/5 ad they only go back to 7/6 I guess due to a reboot. oh well Ill see if I can replicate issue
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] technoid1964:
I've had this same problem, but it's the same with all KitKat ROMs that I've tried, not just this one.

So I am enjoying my skyrocket so much now I'm looking at android wear. Specifically G Watch and Moto 360.

Anyone for see any issues with these on our device with this ROM and kernel?

Forgot one thing I always miss from touch wiz. MHL output.

Anyway with your kernel to make mhl work with this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sultanxda:
MHL is currently disabled in my kernel because I don't have an MHL cable to test with. I can try adding back MHL if you're willing to test it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kawyboy:
I'll test. No problem. Will have to learn logs.

Sad day here. Dropped my skyrocket today. Barely broke glass but lcd, digitizer gone. I have 3mm of mixed color no function of screen. Of course when I was happiest ever with phone.

Thanks for all your work sultan.

2400 ah batteries just got and new gray case if I can't get screen cheap.

Have. Note 1 freshly refurbished. Hoping I can make this kernel and rom go on it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
They're about $120-130 USD refurbished on Swappa or eBay. Bonus with AT&T is I can simply swap the SIM card and run with another phone with no AT&T contact or plan changes.

Bought one for the wife (lost her other one) and a backup phone too that I use for testing my ROM builds.

Think I purchased from chubbiestech on eBay...

Sorry for OT. [emoji336] Just trying to help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] technoid1964:
You can pick one up for about $70 on Aliexpress... Used them before without a problem... For LCD/digitizer assembly.

Wakelock fixed with a PM from ciperflyer! Here's his method...

"I went to settings, privacy, privacy guard,clicked the 3 little squares on the top right and selected show built-in apps and then selected advanced.

scrolled down to google play services and selected denied for the following:

Location

Wake Up

Keep Awake

.Once done I rebooted and now no longer have the wakelock and enjoy several hours of deep sleep again. If this also works for you feel free to post it up for others."

Thanks a lot man, it worked!

Good luck on your endeavors sir!! warranty work is either painless or a giant disaster!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] SoCalHTCFuze:
Maybe you will get lucky and it will get replaced quickly... but probably not. I hope your HD is backed up! They have a way of losing things like that. I'm still running nightly builds here based on your manifest so if its simply CM updates and they dont break anything I can fill the void if needed.

Yeah, scratch that. Latest build breaks external SDCard application installation. I knew right away when my XDA and SetCPU apps were uninstalled. CM had some big updates in the last 2 days, seems something is not right at the moment.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sultanxda:
I might still be able to do some things, but only with the kernel. My old Core2 Duo laptop (that I can't find) can compile the kernel in about 20-30 minutes, and I can probably use ccache to reduce the kernel compilation time even more. The laptop that broke has an i7 CPU with 8GB of RAM (gotta love those Costco prices), and it could compile the kernel in 2-3 minutes :crying: Compiling CM11 on that i7 laptop with ccache enabled took an hour and a half, so ROM compilation and/or experimentation isn't feasible with my old laptop.

As for external SD card app installations... That's my fault. When I work on the kernel I don't push any of my local changes to GitHub until I determine that the new changes are good and ready to released publicly. Since my laptop is broken, I pushed all of the local kernel changes I was working on to GitHub so I wouldn't lose my work. To fix external SD card app installations, flash the v1.3.3 kernel from the OP (kernel standalone Aroma installer), or revert this kernel commit until I correct my GitHub repo: https://github.com/sultanxda/sultan...mmit/f880cb898820b4465b76524cc26f623087227a84

Oh no.

Be careful with Toshiba. My friend had sent one in for repair and he eventually got it back after 4+ months. It was one of Black Friday door buster deal at Best Buy and he was going to resell it after few months use but it turns out wasn't really worth ebay fees and kept it as back up and it broke on him. He eventually got almost what he paid for on Craigslist and he won't buy Toshiba anything unless it's Black Friday kind of deals.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sultanxda:
Yeah, not going to buy Toshiba again. I called tech support, filed a warranty claim, and the guy over the phone said I'd receive an email with instructions on sending in the laptop. 2 days later I received an email from Toshiba: "Support Satisfaction Survey Invitation from Toshiba" :mad: I still haven't received an email with mailing instructions...

I usually buy laptops indiscriminately because I can fix 90% of the issues I'll encounter by myself, but this time I was unlucky because the motherboard has to be replaced :mad:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vbrookie:
I used to repair and mod laptop too. I still have old Dell XPS M1530 with copper mod, upgraded cpu and replace it with cheap 120GB SSD. It's nothing like Asus i7 I have but my old laptop still kicking bargain laptop's butt.

So how can I turn off kernel features. Either I have the weirdest bug ever or something since I didn't think Pocket2Wake was a feature of this kernel. Every time the device is pocketed (or the proximity sensor is covered) for more than a few seconds then the screen will come on automatically when the sensor is uncovered. It is somewhat cool but this is an old phone, battery life is pretty poor I want to reduce the usage as much as possible.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sultanxda:
The kernel has no such feature. Also, I couldn't reproduce the issue. I've put the phone in my pocket several times and the screen has never come on by itself upon taking the phone out of my pocket.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DarkStarr:
..... Then I have no damn idea where the hell it is coming from. It is this ROM and kernel with Xposed but as far as I know none of the Xposed modules have this feature.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] SoCalHTCFuze:
I happen to be using the phone right before another lockup and the screen went crazy with clipping and pink distortion whenever touched... Then it went black and locked up. I snapped a screenshot but it looked fine so in guessing it was display related. Hope that's a clue.
