[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] zqthomas:
For the past month, I flashed Slim 5.0. 5.1: Slim, Pac, Candy, Validus, Sultan's. The above are in ascending order in terms of the ROM size.

Slim 5.0

1. Stock browser don't refresh. I am driving to work with google maps opened in stock browser, the live traffic doesn't get updated

2. Notification lights always on, I will talk about this later

3. The weather channel 4X1 widget takes up only 3X1, I think this is due to the native 210 dpi

Slim 5.1

1. Notification lights

2. Stock browser FC

3. Phone signal intermittent

Pac

1. Phone signal intermittent

2. Notification lights

3. Browser is good, didn't check whether live traffic updated or not

4. Seems smoother than Slim. I think this is due to the ROM size, some files needed are stripped in Slim, so even though the ROM size is smaller, performance takes a hit. Candy seems smoother than Slim as well. I could be totally wrong though.

Candy

1. Notification lights

2. browser is good

Validus

1. First reboot right after flash takes too long, at one time I thought I may brick the phone

2. Settings FC

Sultan's

At this point, I mainly focus on the notification light. I did a search online and finally realized this notification light is Google’s latest 'innovation'. Unlike Nexus, the notification light is only a little dot, skyrocket has four huge button that are illuminated, it's very bothering. Previously I can have 5 hours usage with screen on, while doing web browsing, hangouts, WeChat, WhatsApp, etc. (Navigon, which uses GPS wouldn't last 5 hours). Now, even though I turned NFC, auto sync, data, location off, the battery doesn't last as long before, 3 some hours at most, which I think the lights has some contribution to it. So, back to 4.4

I did what Sultan said to use original TWRP to format everything, but since the internal SD's bloated with past rudiments, I didn't copy back to internal SD, and found I can't write anything to it. So I did one user suggested: flash the stock 4.0, and realized the file system for the internal SD should be VFAT, instead of EXT4. But TWRP doesn't have the capability to format internal SD as VFAT, so using Phil’s touch recovery, format, then flash Liquid Smooth, voila. I compared Bean, Unicorn and Sultan’s when choosing Liquid Smooth.

As I said before, my sincere thanks to all the developers for their hard work to keep this aging phone revitalized. At one Chinese forum, I proudly vote skyrocket has the longest longevity, compared to the norm HTC HD2.

To post # 668 if you use TWRP and have your phone connected to your computer, advanced->mount (or ADB mount, it's definitely under advanced) will let your computer recognize the internal SD as a drive, then you will be able to move/copy what you need. Don't have TWRP in my phone to check the above, hope this helps.

It works well with my Samsung Galaxy S (i9000) with cm-11-20141112-SNAPSHOT-M12-galaxysmtd and it works well with the Samsung Galaxy Core (stock software).

It does NOT work with the Skyrocket April 18, 2015 build nor the Feb. 12, 2015 build which I'm using at the moment.

I'm using my Galaxy S for recording purposes for now.

Basic question: are you using this ROM? Does the problem you describe happen only with this ROM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raptorddd:
I use it daily.. And it happens but not often.. Youll just notice a notification in screen if you didnt hear it ring then reboot and yoyll be ok.. Idk aboit other roms..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] twisted.transistor:
I haven't tried other Lollipop ROMs.

I don't have any notification. My friend is calling me and I don't recive the call.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] celldweller97:
I only do that when i install another rom or when im installing an old version of the same rom.

I tried installing the new version on top of Mar 18 version. Installation went well but when I booted it up gapps would not work. I tried several 5.1 versions to no avail. So I had to do a clean install (which was a pain), but everything is working well now.

Thanks for all your work, Sultan

Guys, which GAPPS do you use?

I tried SLIM gapps, but now my phone is lagging as hell. I am sure it's cause of them because after flashing ROM w/o gapps it was very smooth.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raptorddd:
Iam using team black out gapps.. No lag...

I think dirty unicorn g+ has link..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Alex0319:
How is this rom running? In candy 5 Im having lag, mostly when somebody calls me, and phone cant deep sleep, is draining my battery out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] LimeliME:
It's pretty good for a daily driver, even though it's not stable yet. :)

There is not much lag as you mentioned in this rom, and for battery... I guess it's ok. (This is from SGH-T989, but it should be similar :p)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raptorddd:
Its running good.. No lag only when you get a call it takea like 2-3 seconds.. Deep sleep ok wake up ok.. No more memory leak.. Network works ok.. .. It runs smoother than before.. And i under clock it.. So stock should be ok. And battery its ok..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] celldweller97:
This rom and pa seem tp be the most stable lollipop roms at the moment anything else is ridden with bugs or simply lag alot.

Update

Hey All Just wanted to put it out there that I just got done installing the latest 5.1.1. (Haven't done the kernel update, as there seems to be Issues), and everything went smooth as silk, My only issue is I had no Sdcard, so I had to ADB PUSH the NEW Files after TWRP Format to EXT4... And The SIM chip reader on this phone is dead so I have no calling ability, But So Far So Good, Will Update if I run into any Issues...

Is anyone else having trouble with mobile data on the 5/15 build? I personally have had quite a bit more trouble with this one than I did with 4/18 build. If no one else is I'll try reflashing, but I figured I'd ask first.

I grabbed a k_msg, but it's a pain to try to attach on my phone, I'll try to remember to upload it later.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] LimeliME:
LOL nice one Sultan :D

Yes, it's not Rom's fault. The S2 is old and it will be slow, it maybe slower on the stock.

SultanXDA had did his best to make a Rom that is faster than the Stock and maybe better :good: You can either tweak it so it can be faster (if you are not at the max setting but at the cost of battery life and temperature) or just go get a NEW phone and abandon the old S2 ;)

Go to Settings -> Developer Options (Incase you dont see it , Settings ->About and then tap on Android Build (5.1.1) five times and then go back)

Inside developer options, you would see an option - "Root Access" set to disabled at first. Click that and select Apps only.

[MENTION=4800121]Sultanxda[/MENTION] i want to ask you a question

Many people have partition using pit file and they confirmed it works... I have and it does.

Would it be ok it you could make normal rom.. No virtual partition..??

What are the sizes on your virtual partition for each.?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sultanxda:
Actual repartition via PIT file is not as beneficial as the virtual repartition, because you would have to sacrifice space from one partition and give it to the other (with virtual repartition, /sdcard and /data are seamlessly stored on the same 11GB partition), so I will not make a normal ROM.

Thats cool.. Thanks.

Need help : Stuck at blue logo

I flashed this ROM in my S2 Skyrocket, but got stuck at Cynagenmode logO. NEED HELP

I Wiped Data/Cache/Dalvik Cache and installed custom ROM using TWRP.

TWRP used : 2.8.5.0 for Skyrocket.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] LimeliME:
First, try giving it a few 10 minutes for it to boot if you just flashed the Rom.

If it stays on the CM logo for too log, did you followed the virtual repartition? It's a necessary step in order to install this Rom. If you did do the repartition, then make sure you have flashed the Rom with SULTAN's TWRP.

If you had followed the following steps, then continue reading.

(try the following solution from top to bottom, if one don't work then go to the next one.)

1. Try wipe dalvik and cache. Then flash the Rom again. Reboot and see if it's fixed

2. Doing a factory reset. Wipe dalvik and cache again. Then flash the Rom again. Reboot to see if problem fixed

3. UNDO the repartition, and do the repartition again. The flash the Rom and reboot to see if the problem is fixed.

(you won't get under 3 if you didn't mess up anything)

4. [final possible solution] Odin your phone back to the stock Skyrocket <-- I won't get into too much details, just follow the guide. And start from scratch there. (rooting it, get TWRP, repartition again, flash the Rom again. Very annoying)

Hopefully you had your phone working again by now. Feel free to reply if you have anymore questions or concern ;):good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Raikos696:
Try what LimeliME say, but you're making something wrong.

Be sure that you made everything that Sultanxda says to do the virtual repartition http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=56564704&postcount=3

must disable the MTP in mount/disable MTP to prevent any error, then format the internal SD, follow all steps and be patient, enjoy.

I find Battery is draining fast on 3G ???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] LimeliME:
It usually drains faster on LTE instead of 3G.

but if you wanted more battery life then follow this guide and see if the battery still drains fast :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raptorddd:
Do you browse with 3g?

If only for messaging use 2g it last longer

O get about 3 hour using 3g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] alphasingularity:
just installed

Hi,

I'm new to XDA and this is my first post.

So I have followed the instructions for the May 15th release and flashed the phone, the process went well. (I came from the last official android update)

Let me say it's a great ROM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And while I'm not complaining, here are a few issues I found...

1) I'm on FIDO and the network is being shown as Rogers (not a big deal)

2)I don't seem to have LTE. It's showing 3G and when I use the browser it ramps up to H+.

I've tried all available APNs and checked to make sure that they are configured correctly.

I have tested the speed and it seems that I'm getting on average of about 5 up and 1.5 down with about a 40 ping.

....and yes I have it set to LTE

3)Battery drain seems to be ok, maybe a little faster than before (not complaining)

If anyone has any idea with LTE please post.

Thanks!

do u have an lte sim card, which fido apn's are u using or tried.

on stock did u get lte, if so write down the apn and carrier info.

from the same location u tried 12.1 rom do a speed test w/stock rom
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] alphasingularity:
I think you just gave me the answer! Thanks!

I have been using my old sim card that I have had for years. On my old moto XT860 I was getting H+ and when I switched to the i727r I was showing 4G. I assumed this was LTE because of some thread I read a long time ago... Actually, I'm 100% sure the sim is not LTE as the card started on a Motorola slider (Z6W if I remember correctly).

Is there a way to get LTE to work on a non-LTE card?

As for the speed, I did not test the old rom, but after using the LP one all day, browsing data transfer "feels" about the same. So again it probably was only H+ that I was using on the old official rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:
need lte sim to get lte, no way around it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] alphasingularity:
OK, well that fixes that problem! :good:

One more question, I was googling and there is this *#*#4636#*#* code that some people used to "unlock" lte. worth a try?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:
afaik thats if u had an lte capable phone and sim and carrier for whateverv reason locked it out.

cant hurt to try but usually only works on stock roms, but either way it wont blow up your phone by entering the code.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] alphasingularity:
Tried it and it let me into the menu. When selecting "LTE only" I disconnect from the carrier, waited for about 5min and no connection. It is a cool diagnostic tool though.

---------- Post added at 02:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:54 AM ----------

I have tried to load WOT (World of Tanks), the game loads and you can get through to the menu, but once you attempt to load a game it goes to "desk top" instead of into the game....

Not a big deal as it's just a game, but an observation (it worked fine on the old rom)

im on kk now but dont get lte where i live=poor signal
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raptorddd:
Then we must have lte sim card.. 3g doesnt last that much on battery i imagine lte.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steveromingagain:
On straighttalk ,I updated my sim to LTE last year and get LTE on every ROM I test. On my job I'm in several different areas and it stays lock to it 90% of time. Only see 3 g when in weak areas or making a call. Every ROM test always starts up at H+ for 3 to five mins then locks to LTE.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:
Confirming on kk it says LTE in status bar and in settings/about/status. U need correct APN settings for ur carrier. Lte sim card and set radio to lte and be in an lte coverage area

WOT bug

Just to update a previous bug I found for WoT. It seems that if I change the background picture on the phone and launch the game, at the point where it fails to continue into the game the background flashes (the one I changed to) then the screen goes black for a good amount of time and then when the OS comes back, the stock rom background picture has replaced the changed picture.

Also to add to the comments about battery life... My battery seems to be improving after a few cycles. This is versus my pre Lollipop experience. Today I'm at 10hrs running and 43% battery left. This is while surfing the web, checking apps, texting and stuff....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tsew2674:
ha...I had Mobile Networks turned off...I really don't know how it got like that and I kept long pressing the Network icon from the quick pulldown so I didn't notice it for a while, like I said, I'm an idiot. :p

I would guess your battery is fried. My battery easily lasts all day, granted I do any gaming or anything real resource intensive, but I check fb, xda, make calls and texts, etc.. If my daughter gets ahold of my phone some games do eat through the battery pretty fast, but if you're not using it heavily, how does it do?

I'm guessing that this is a graphics/adreno memory issue. I think he's tried quite a few things to fix similar issues and for the most part it works pretty good now, but there may be some outstanding problems. It seems like he released an update a while back that fixed a similar problem I was having (caused by the graphics driver running out of memory, I think) but it broke Netflix (possibly more?) and he ended up reverting it. One way to test that theory (other than providing a log), is trying to open the game first thing after rebooting and see if it makes any difference. (it may not but that occasionally worked for the game I had issues with).

Okay, now to my problem. I'm a network administrator at work, and recently realized that my skyrocket is requesting multiple DHCP requests to the point that it completely depletes my DHCP pool and causes any new machines to not get an IP address, thus not having network or internet access. I've read online and apparently this has happened in older versions of Android but has been fixed since 4.2. Not sure when this started, but I'm curious if it's happening to any one else. I just checked my home router and it doesn't seem to be doing it there, but it's certainly blowing up my DHCP servers at work...if there are any other Network people reading this thread, please take a look and chime in. Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raptorddd:
I once read and all peoole agreed that the battery charge were 3-4 hours.. less if you gaming.
