[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Atari-San:
I would be personally happy to find a method to repartition the Skyrocket. When i was using the early CM12 build back 2 month ago, just installing pa-gpapp micro and other google app was making my device full without storage. I also need an extra 600+mb for a certain game i play, so i decide to wait on slimkat roms. I would really like a method to relocate internal storage to other system partition because i don't really use internal with a 32gb microsd card. It would be great something to easily relocate the storage like the HP Touchpad Toolbox which allow to choice which partition you want to remove space and which one to add space. I still think this might never happen or happen after Lollipop. Thank for your roms, i will take your when it will look more stable or have more review on the topic (and after an ingame event).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
The GApps usually go to /system/app or /system/priv-app. This ROM has the app2sd facility that can relocate some of your app data to sdcard0 (a.k.a. Internal SD Card). It works for me, does it work for you?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Atari-San:
Well, last time i used lollipop with the first CM12 build, after trying to transfert all my app, the sd card stopped to being mounted... It happened 3 time (3 reflash). If you say it has this, i might try it very soon, idk when my ingame event finish for love live school idol festival but when it will (less than 5 day), i will upgrade. Thank for your answer.

Do it has all the same feature than the SlimKat build or some will be implement later ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] gimmeitorilltell:
Apps2sd is about the best thing you're gonna get. Repartitioning the device is only gonna brick it at this point. Some adjustments can be made but for what you are looking for, Probably never happen? We have gotten the app2sd working better than it had in the past from what I can tell.

NICE new sig there! Lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
App2sd currently points to the Internal SD card, which you can't accidentally remove. Plus some folks don't have an external SD card.

If you wanna go all out, check out the Link2sd app from the Play Store. It requires you to manually re-partition your external SD card in your computer to have like a 12-16 GB primary partition and the rest a secondary one. Then you can "link" your apps to SD and certain app data will get symlinked to your External SD partition.

I did this on my Skyrocket with a 64GB external SD and it was awesome. I had around 300 apps installed, including some BIG racing games (3-4 GB each) and I still was showing 500 MB available on my /data partition. Never a "Storage space is getting low" message...

For me, it was well worth the few bucks for Link2sd. The dev's web site has all the info and FAQ docs you need to use it.

As far as features, it's Lollipop, not KitKat. Some features are new, some better, some still being added from the KitKat days. I find it better overall. ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raptorddd:
I was messing with link 2/sd.. Did i do it right???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Looks good to me! What do you think about it?

Setting it up is a bit technical, but I've seen you around the SR forums and I'm sure you're quite capable. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raptorddd:
Thanks.. Well english isnt my language ao theres times i get stuck lol.. I took screenshot of tutorial i found ising google.. It was pita.. For me. As the pc i have now its really a dinosaur.. I dont know the processor but i think 256 ram.. Amd 1.0 ghz.. Xp... I cant even flash using odin ot just hangs.. Tranferring all my music took me a whole day back and fort.. No card reader so i had to go to a cyber to use one with card reader... I was confused as i tought i need it 3 partitions. One for regular sd card while using mass storage and 2 more for the apps.. So i decided to do it.. Again i had to move all my stuff back to my pc.. Lol.. So i followed tutorial.. And i guess i did ok.. I like the fact that whike reboot sonetimes when i had some apps moved to sd card.. It will take for ever to load all apps.. I think its good.. I dont have lots of apps.. Bit i wanted to have it ready.. Ill give your rom a try one of this days.. ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] blake .l:
I really do like this ROM, my only problem is I never could send receive any picture messages? didn't show any sign of mobile data to be working either...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Can you share a logcat on Pastebin and link it here?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Atari-San:
Sorry again for bothering you, i plan to use Link2SD in f2fs for my second partition because it seem the best filesystem according to the HP Touchpad section (in which they plan to implement the support this week), i wanted to know if the Skyrocket also support f2fs filesystem, it seem it gave 2 time the speed in I/O according to some article, example : http://novafusion.pl/tutorials/how-to-use-f2fs-s3-mini/

If it do support it, i plan to reformat all my android partition of my skyrocket into f2fs. Thank you for your answer. I will upgrade to your roms tomorrow.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] blake .l:
I'll have to re-install the rom, if you can tell me how to do the logcat i'll be glad to post one? I've never made a logcat before. i'm using TWRP 2.8.4.0 skyrocket, will this one be OK?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steveromingagain:
logcat

http://pastebin.com/kGNefMzN Let me no if this uploaded correctly .
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
I think f2fs requires kernel support, and I'm not sure it's present now. That's an advanced feature that's waaaay down the road, man. :)

See the "How to logcat" link in my signature for how to do it.

Uhhh, no it didn't. Did you look at the Pastebin page after pasting the log contents in? It only has one line and it is "alogcat". lol

I don't know your level of experience, but you might take a look at the "How to logcat" link in my signature too.

This is what a logcat looks like. :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Atari-San:
I was going to look on your kernel source tree for checking it but seem your github link's down. Are you using sultanxda's kernel which he made for cm12 ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
No. Kernel source is linked in the OP. ;)

What were you doing or what was failing when you took this logcat? I need a detailed description please.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steveromingagain:
Logcat

Logcat for no internet data showing lte

No pic messaging but text working on WiFi or lte

Confirmed APN was correct on all lines for tfdata

Phone calls working Thanks. Hope this helps.

Will send more if needed.

P.S. First logcat wasn't working because phone showing

Not rooted after ROM install
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Thanks for the log and the details. Can you get another mobile data log with WiFi turned off please?

What is tfdata?

You are on AT&T, correct? With the ATT LTE pta APN selected?

And you must have found the SuperSU flashable in the OP. ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steveromingagain:
Yes. At&t with straight talk. Tfdata APN, APN lines all correct.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
And preferred network type selected to LTE?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steveromingagain:
Yes. Selected by default
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Still working on the data issue here. Getting closer... [emoji41]
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:

Thanks to those involved for the logs and testing.

New build in the OP with working MMS and Mobile Data.

Get it while it's HOT!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steveromingagain:
Build 20150214

1st install data worked w/o gapps Started freezing

2nd instal reboots at lock screen (loop) unless you unlock very quickly and no data or LTE icon

if you select correct apn , when it reboots randomly looses apn setting(nothing selected) and defaults to 3g

4th install the same ,added gapps,more freeze ups.

on 5 th install now with gapps installed at same time as rom . will post back later.

---------- Post added at 08:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:05 PM ----------

Update 5 th try with slim normal gapps 5.0 and all working ,tested data with wifi and LTE

but still getting random looping at lock screen ,same as before,you have to hurry and unlock to keep from looping and when it goes back to sleep starts looping again and looses phone signal again. Keep screen awake long enough and (5 mins) and LTE back . Hope this helps
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Did you do a clean flash (/system, /data, /dalvik)? If not, try wiping those before install.

Does your audio work?

You can also try to select Disable HW Overlays in the Developer Options.

To enable Developer options, go to Settings > About phone > Build number and click on it several times (I think 7) and it will tell you Dev options are unlocked. Go back to the Settings menu and select Developer options and look about 2/3 of the way down in the list for Disable HW Overlays.

If you can get a logcat of the rebooting it would be helpful (instead of guessing)... ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Normally, no news is good news, but in the case of the Skyrocket, it may well mean that there are a lot fewer owners than there used to be.

Aside from 1080p video recording and the one case of reboots, what else has anyone found?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steveromingagain:
All installs i have done are complete clean installs (no dirty installs)

Installed again to get logcat ,with Slim_normal_gapps.BETA.5.0.x.build.0.x-20150214-484

This time perfect boot with data working and no looping yet .

Audio works,data works ,video cam 720p works(1080p borked) phone calls work,text works w/pic data.

when setting up phone after gapps install it says your tablet is now ready for use

Data shows H+ instead of LTE and cannot get LTE to stick in setting just 3g(update )after 30 mins it auto switch too LTE and data still working :D I will play with this for awhile and let you know Thanks again for your work and time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steveromingagain:
Looping at lock screen

http://pastebin.com/15Vxsxhp

Starting looping again after reboot

Turned of overlay ,no change. Hope this logcat caught it for you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raptorddd:
I tried it today.. I had the same issue.. When it first boot.. I tried to turn screen off by pressing power button so i could let it settle after a few minutes.. But when ever i pressed power tu turn screen off it would reset to bootanimation no to samsung logo then bootanimation..

I also tried double tap to sleep same thing after a few minutes it settle it worked ok..

Since i could not find screen shot.. And advance recovery. And no way to change clock and wifi color i decidwd to go back to other room.. I didnt flashed gapps thats why i didnt use logcat.

What tweaks does slim has?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Sadly, no. That logcat is a 100 ms slice of the big picture. I need to know what happened for a much larger window of time. I have a suspicion as to what's happening, and it might be fixed in my next test build if I'm lucky... no eta yet.

Do you know how to logcat with adb from your PC? We might need a dmesg log if you can't catch enough of a logcat window. There's an app called Bootlog Uptime on the Play Store that can pull the kernel last_kmsg log for you to review and post to Pastebin.

Thanks for the feedback.

Yes, there is something soft-rebooting the device. I might have it cornered, but not sure yet. It's been a real PITA.

Screen shot is Power and Volume Down as always.

Advanced Recovery options are under Settings > Security > Device Administration > Advanced Reboot > Hide on secured lockscreen.

Clock color is under Settings > Interface > Status bar > Style > Clock and date.

Advanced battery icon settings (no color changes yet) should be merged in source now.

No WiFi color yet that I am aware of. We're still catching the big fish... lol

If I can get my latest test build to complete, I might have DPI changer, Quick Settings tile customization, Network meter, and did I mention RRO Theme support? :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
One other thing to try... See if

turning off NFC

has any effect on the soft reboots... Settings > ... More > NFC. Mine's not rebooting and I normally switch that off since I never use it.

?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steveromingagain:
disabling

Tried disabling NFC,printer spool,phone,MMS,storage,bluetooth,adaptive brightness ,H/W,wake on charge,usb debug.Still loopy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raptorddd:
i see lol.. Then its good. And itll pick up eventually to have all features and tweaks.. Cool.. Illgive it a try ..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
My test build seems better but it's not ready yet
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] epapsiou:
tried tha alpha. Clean.

Bootlooping after install. Cannot get in and so no logs unfortunately
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Did you verify the MD5? It is fcac1bdad6b3f1fae35fde4fe10c711e

Are you using the required recovery version?

What GApps did you flash?

No app restores at all, especially things like kernel tweakers, system tuners, service disablers, Greenify, etc...?

The more info, the better...

Can you try a full wipe flash again, without GApps or any apps restored, and see if the reboots still happen please? Do you know how to use adb on your computer to grab a logcat? A log of it happening would be helpful.

I'll hopefully post an updated build later today for testing. I had one soft reboot on the first Welcome screen but after going through the initial setup, NO reboots.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
New build

EDIT: Hold off on the latest build. It seems that audio is broken again...

OP updated with previous build link.

I'll look at it later tonight.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raptorddd:
I used cmw phikz touch latest..

Since i been using this .. And it says format system how you dod that on twrp. On wipe sectuon?? Select system??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cssr:
On the main screen of TWRP select wipe, then choose advanced and wipe dalvik, cache, system and data.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
I had been using PhilZ for a long time myself, but as [MENTION=4057370]vincom[/MENTION] pointed out, support for PhilZ ended in the summer of 2014. :(

TWRP is actively being supported, and [MENTION=5294789]cssr[/MENTION] is correct. :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
New build

New build is updated in the OP. I have not gotten a soft reboot on this, and audio seems to be working correctly. Here are the steps I followed to install:

Reboot to recovery. I'm using TWRP 2.8.5.0 for testing, available in the OP.

FULL WIPE: /system, /data, /cache and /dalvik

Flash the ROM

Flash GApps (used Slim Normal GApps v484)

Flash SuperSU (link in OP)

Reboot when finished

When the Welcome screen appears, complete the setup steps on first boot up. Don't try to turn off the screen until you see the touch key lights time out by themselves.

Note: You may not see all the ringtones, notification sounds, etc. until you reboot one more time.

Please test this build out; hopefully I've gotten rid of the soft reboots. If you get them, repeat the install steps above again. If you STILL get them, try the install steps one more time, but

with the SIM card removed

.

When reporting soft reboots or other issues, please provide as much detailed information as you can and a logcat. Enjoy!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raptorddd:
Ok thanks.. Cauae it cwm it actually says format.. I didnt know wipe was format...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Good point. TWRP formats by default. In the Settings menu there is an option to use "rm -rf" to wipe partitions instead, but I wouldn't use that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
New Build is UP!

Sorry for any confusion folks, but I had to restructure the first few posts. There are 2 different edit buttons on a DevDB OP, and I kept breaking it using the "normal" one.

Changelog is still in Post #2.

Downloads and Install instructions are in Post #3.

This should make it easier to update until the weeklies get going. ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
RRO Layers

I put a link to one theme (Synergy_v4) along with some screen shots of what RRO looks like in Post #4.

Note you need the Bitsyko RRO Themes app, which you can get by signing up for beta testing, and a theme or two or 3...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
New Build

I forgot to mention a couple of posts back that a new build is up in Post #3. See how this works for you.

I have had NO soft reboots in 15 hours of running it when following the Installation Instructions I posted to the letter... ;) Enjoy!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steveromingagain:
soft reboot loop

Still looping for me,installed with gapps and without , If you keep it alive at lock screen you can use ROM,runs great,but if you let it go to sleep or power button takes it too soft reboot.

No logcat as it dumps back to new setup ,catalog gone,APN resets,.ect.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Got a lead and working on it, thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Okay, this is a temporary work-around for the soft-reboot issue:

Flash the ROM by itself first, then when it boots to the welcome screen, enable Wi-Fi. Then reboot and install gapps and SuperSU and reboot again and set it up.

I hope to have it fixed later this evening and will post the new build when it's tested and verified.

Cheers!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steveromingagain:
Also fc on slim launcher

This did not help in my case , so I tried playing around, I installed factory at&t rom, ran it a few mins,then installed build 20150219 with philz ,rebooted as you said,installed slim normal gapps and SuperSU ,been running a few hrs no problems with reboot yet but stock browser and cm browser have fc a couple of times.

Didn't have to apply APN this time,auto found correct one. Will keep you updated. .

Dirty flash

Is it OK to dirty flash this build since I fixed last build reboot issue or safer to start fresh?

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Yes, you should be OK dirty flashing in this case, but a nandroid backup wouldn't be a bad idea. That said, a clean flash is the first step to try before reporting any issues.

I normally clean flash new builds, but that is to eliminate any possible issues from left-over data. :)

Are you placing and receiving phone calls OK on these builds? My Skyrocket normally has no SIM card in it, so if I need to test anything SIM related, I have to use the one in my OnePlus and find my SIM adapter. When I last tested phone call functionality, it was working fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steveromingagain:
Clean install working fine, phone calls working,text working, 2 fc browser but let system settle and no more fc so far.Found LTE service on its on for straight talk. Sometimes when I reboot it looses LTE,select airplane mode for 15 sec and back off and LTE comes back. Getting better every build.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] SighIsAnonymous:
Clean flashed, seems perfect! Was on CM12. Phone calls always work, data, literally flawless except one thing but a reboot fixes it. At random times my whole phone just lags, And it makes sending a text seem like rocket science. Any way I could fix this? I know a reboot fixes but then soon it is back again
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Can you get a logcat capturing this lag?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Atari-San:
What i think that killed this device's community was all the cellphone mode being broken like silent call and 3g/lte being bugged for 3 month with all you guys trying to fix it without success at first. Now it's fixed, people have returned to kitkat because they fear all the early instability (in part my case) or they did finish their 3 year contract and decide to get a new phone and they returned their phone to their carrier. The other small percentage of the old community are using daily lollipop but a big part of them don't use the Skyrocket has their daily driver. Looking at the hercules device and i see it's much more active, don't know if it's because the device sold much more but the skyrocket always got much more choose on roms. Well, this device did not hit the bottleneck yet and should run some more new android if their's still a community in the future.

Looking for this roms becoming an official Slimrom build again and being able to run 5.1.X soon. Cheer. :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] SighIsAnonymous:

A new build is up in Post #3. See Post #2 for the main changes.

Slim weeklies have begun, but last week's release still has the soft reboot bug. Slim's next weekly release should have the soft reboot bug fixed, I hope...

The one I'm sharing here does not have the bug, and I've added a bunch of features that aren't in the weeklies either. Enjoy!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
If you experience lagginess, please try to get a logcat of it.

Also, you can try going to Settings > Developer options > Disable HW Overlays and turn that on. I have a feeling that will help, although it won't persist following a reboot, and you may lose things like pinch-to-zoom on the camera. It's being looked into, but logs will help. ;)
