Important announcement!

This is an official Slim announcement:

"We are currently experiencing technical difficulties with our infrastructure, due to which we cannot verify anything from our sites since the date of 22 February 2015. Please do not flash any builds downloaded until further notice."

My builds posted here should be fine

, so there's no cause for alarm. I will change the GApps download link to [MENTION=4911350]RobbieL811[/MENTION]'s builds on his server too. Hopefully this will be resolved soon.

Peace

dalvik or art

Will lollipop have choice for dalvik or art or is lollipop defaulted too art.? Just Curious,didn't see setting for it in developer options.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raptorddd:
Default in lollipop is art.

New Build

A new build is in the OP, with added global menu customization, Quick Settings updates, SlimCenter, and more.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Updated build...

The last build was missing the soft reboot fix, but I've updated post 3 with the new build.

Slim-skyrocket-5.0.2.alpha.1.0-UNOFFICIAL-20150226-1520.zip

There's also a patch for the lagginess. Please try it out and see how it works. ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steveromingagain:
Install

Hard time with install,20150226 build,gapps normal 226, each time different bugs with force closes or unfortunately closes. Reboot and starting to reinstall gapps and got stuck on android upgrading and starting apps. Had to power button reset. Finally decided to switch from twrp too philz and all went smooth. Only small problems is gapps finishes with ( your tablet is now setup and bookmarks page flashes like DPI off. No lag so far. Will run for the day and post back any bugs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Thanks. Full wipe/clean flash? If you get stuck, try clean flashing only the ROM, since a dirty flash could be responsible here.

My latest test build with gapps was a clean flash and I had zero issues. ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steveromingagain:
All flashes are clean, didn't think dirty flashes would help you with testing , I'll continue to use philz recovery, guess my phone prefer's it. Lol. Still no lag after use . Still get sluggish browser pages,where you have to push page instead of slide page,if that makes since.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Were you using the new TWRP 2.8.5.0? Could you try 2.8.4.0 or even 2.8.3.0 please instead of PhilZ? It shouldn't matter either way, but the latest versions are not always necessarily the best ones.

I'm using TWRP 2.8.5.0 for testing. You DID wipe /system manually, correct? There are backup scripts that will save and restore your hosts file, display DPI and gapps.

So you don't have any issues installing without gapps?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steveromingagain:
All latest installs where done with 2.8.5.0 and gapps at same time and gapps after reboot. I will try the other twrp's and see there results. Never ran long without gapps to see if they where the problem. Still playing with this install and no problems. Post back later.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steveromingagain:
TWRP 2.8.4.0

Installed with TWRP 2.8.4.0 without gapps .perfect install.

No boot loops\no fc\no lag.

Data good over wifi and LTE{Staight talk apn on att}

Camera video still borked on 1080 but good on 720

Loaded normal gapps after an hour of run time ,

All apps worked fine,no fc's

Text and pic text work over wifi and LTE

Guess my skyrocket likes twrp 2.8.4.0 and Philz 6.48.4 the best LOL
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Thanks for the info. I'm glad it's working out for you! :)

I wonder if TWRP 2.8.5.0 is ready for prime time on the SR or not. I haven't had any issues, but you have my attention with your 2.8.4.0 success.

As far as the lag issues, I think there are still occasional small browser lags, but overall mine seems much better on this latest build with some commits from CM...

Anyone else?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
New Build

New build is up in Post #3 with some reboot fixes.

How is the lag on the latest build for others besides [MENTION=5801481]Steveromingagain[/MENTION]?

Phone died!!

What do I do now, the phone died and now it wont show the fact that it is charging and it wont turn back on. What can I do?! Please help. So I guess basically powered off phone wont charge?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
OK, sorry, this has been reported recently. I fixed it this morning in my Candy 5 build, so I should have a fixed SlimLP build later which may include BLN support.

This may sound a little crazy, but it may be worth a shot in your case if you don't have a spare battery or external charger:

Take your battery out, wrap it in a paper towel, place it in a Ziploc bag and squeeze all the air out. Put it in the freezer for ~10 minutes.

Then take the battery out of the paper towel, let it sit on the counter for a couple of minutes, then put the battery in the device, hold power until the phone vibrates once, then hold the power and both volume buttons together until you see the Samsung logo, and then let go. Immediately plug the charger cable into the phone.

With any luck, the device should boot into recovery and it will definitely charge in recovery mode if you can get there!

I hope this works!

Another option is find an external battery charger or a spare battery.

This is an alpha build, so there are bound to be bugs. My next build should have this fixed. Again, sorry this has happened to you.

FOLKS: Until the next build is posted and verified, please don't let your device's battery drain completely!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Allknighter:
wow

Some how that worked. lol. I like this rom but I cant get some of the apps because they say they are not compatible with this version, like facebook messenger for example. I dont know what you have to do to fix that but try something lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Great! [emoji106] You're welcome...?

What DPI are you running? Some apps, including the Play Store, can be picky at handling certain DPI settings. Try changing it. You might also ttry installing the apps from the Play Store web site to push to your phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
I have a new build that should be available soon. I need to test it first.

Stay tuned...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
NEW BUILD

A new build is up in Post #3 that has the following updates:

Power-off charging is fixed, along with animated images and even % display during power-off charge. So if your phone dies, you can charge it back up without issue!

BLN (Button Light Notificaiton) support, and it can be disabled if you want in the Settings menu! (Sorry no per-app control right now.) Thanks to [MENTION=4779996]gimmeitorilltell[/MENTION]!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Any feedback on the latest version?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steveromingagain:
Downloading now, can you take a look at your gapps page , showing mini as 781 mb and normal as 178 mb on second link.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Yeah, lol, that's messed up.

I'd use the first link for now. Good eye.

EDIT: Just downloaded the mini package from the second link and it is 78.33MB, so it must be a typo.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steveromingagain:
Build 20150305

Gapps slim mini 20150306 beta

Philz recovery

Installed rom without gapps .no issues ,let settle for 20 mins.

Installed gapps,no bugs at all,running very smooth.

Phone calls working,data over wifi and LTE working.

Text and pic text working.

Charging correctly on wall or usb,mass storage working with pc connection.

Had 1 browser fc and change text size larger in settings and no more fc;s for an hour of surfing.

Opera runs better on this rom,.extra smooth, if it matters to someone.

No system lag after 3 hours. GREAT

Thanks and way to go!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Thanks. I found Opera to be quick as well.

The flashlight tile wasn't working on my Candy build but it looks like it was fixed upstream. I am testing SlimLP here on my Skyrocket to see if the flashlight gives any issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
New Build

Here's a new test build: DELETED

Feedback on features and performance is appreciated. I'm looking mostly for MTP settings (Settings > Storage > USB computer connection), BLN function and controls (on/off and timing), camera, system performance/lag, and whatever else is observed. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
New Build

FYI, folks, I normally

DELETE PMs and Gmails asking for ROM help

.

Please do not message me; instead, ask for help in the thread here, or start your own Q&A thread in the General section. Chances are, your questions can be answered by others, and this will benefit others both now and in the future. (Hint: read the first few posts).

That being said, to enable ROOT, you first need to flash SuperSU, then you have to to into Settings > About phone and tap on the Build number field 7 times. This unlocks Developer Options. After unlocking Dev Options, go into that menu and open the Root Access entry. Select Apps or Apps and ADB and exit the menu. From that point on, apps requesting Root Access should prompt you (as long as you flashed SuperSU already).

Also, as a reminder, the FULL GApps packages may not install properly on these legacy devices due to lower /system storage space. Make sure you are flashingLOLLIPOP GAPPS, not KitKat ones! Flash the Normal or Mini/Micro GApps packages, and get any missing apps on the Play Store.

The earlier build I posted does seem like like most of the lag is gone, however, there are issues with the Torch and some Audio. I've built a new version, which I'll post in Post #3 and link here which should have at least the audio fixed, hopefully the Torch too (but I'm more concerned with the audio right now).

Here it is:

Slim-skyrocket-5.0.2.alpha.1.0-UNOFFICIAL-20150312-1448.zip

MD5: 2131cca37fb25c74d05653dce053318c

Follow the install instructions in Post #3.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steveromingagain:
Build 20150312

Install went well,let settle for 15 mins,installed gapps and SuperSU using philz .

No lag,camera works on front and rear,still flashlight lockup ,cm flashlight from play store works as long as you don't try onboard flashlight again(reboot to fix). Video can still borked

on 1080 p Bad video lag on mxplayer and no sound on Google music player. Here's a logcat for you. Audio in calls work. Text and MMS over WiFi and LTE working..I'll run awhile and post anymore bugs I find.

Also google search recognized (OK google) but not voice for search words.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Now THAT is useful bug reporting, thanks! :good:

I have to ask, this was the second of my 2 builds yesterday (my last posted build), correct? I'm still working on some issues, so hopefully I will have a ROM to test a bit later and see if it's worth sharing.

Thanks for the testing efforts so far. Your help is very much appreciated!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steveromingagain:
Update for 2nd version

Flashlight still not working,sometimes WiFi says error Not responding at this time but connects.

Flashlight icon then disappeared from quick setting.

PS Google search working correctly on this build and play music and MX video player problem fix.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steveromingagain:
update

I have 2 reboots.. One while waking phone ,had as notification for WiFi connecting available and when I swiped, it rebooted and stuck at black screen with vibration every 2 seconds. Power button for 20 seconds rebooted it back to system, 3 hrs later while surfing internet it just rebooted,no loop this time,couldn't catch logcat,to random. Hope this helps .
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Thanks. Did you clean flash the newer ROM?

Which gapps did you use?

EDIT I had one reboot a build ago, but had dirty flashed it. On the last version I posted, as well as on the latest one, I have had no reboots.

So I'm hoping you dirty flashed...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steveromingagain:
It was a clean flash with pa-micro gapps ,ROM 1st waited 15 mins,then gapps and supersu.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
If I can ever get this latest build to compile, it's gonna be awesome! Should be some huge improvements and features...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sanusaeed:
I need some help here. I'm using the earlier version (5th March ). I clean flashed the rom, gapps and superSU. Rom is perfect and I love it. The only problem I'm having is lag issues. My phone lags a lot and its just impossible to use. I have to restart the phone to use it again. It just hangs and gets immensely slow. Please help.

Thank you!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
This is one of the things that should be addressed in the upcoming build... It's been driving me NUTS.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] KERKEDAGAIN:
Though I'm not (currently) using this ROM, the lag issue seems to happen on all LP roms I've tried. Yesterday I noticed that for some unknown reason the system seems to shut down one of the cores and it reads "offline". I THINK I resolved it by using TricksterMod and doing a frequency lock, since it's seemed to be smooth sailing since then; but I can't say for sure. Hopefully this helps and if anyone else can confirm their CPU state when the lag happens may help further..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Atari-San:
So, should i get Slim LP instead of Candy5 or Candy5 don't have the lag issue ? I have buy the Pro version of Link2SD, made a backup for before google reinstall everything from cloud and doing some copy of file, planned to finally give it a try tomorrow with my old 32gb sdcard for testing. I plan to get one of those 64gb evo microsdxc card from samsung at 48mb/sec class 10 at $43 on amazon (seem like a great deal), the equivalent from Sandisk's also the same price. Do you think you will be able to compile your roms or it's something broke upstream which could take a couple of day because of 5.1.X merge ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
I am building 5.0.2 still. The 5.1 merges are still in progress, but 5.1 basically brings some simple little tweaks, not really worth worrying about right now. My build errors have been from some of the cool features I'm trying to incorporate. There are too many to spell out at this point, since Slim had Gerrit issues a few weeks ago. And boy has it been a long 3 weeks!

Finally Slim Gerrit is back up, but things are being checked out and we're updating like crazy. If all goes well I should have a good build to share in the next 6-8 hours. I have to test some things before I post it. ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Atari-San:
Cool thank you, i will F5 this topic tomorrow at noon and test it and report logcat. Also, i saw on some old tutorial about Link2SD that making the new partition on the microsd has a limit of 1/4 of the total microsd size, do the limitation still exist nowadays ? Also, do you think F2FS formating for the partition work or it's not implementated in the kernel ? On the HP Touchpad, seem they got some great speed improvement for the read/write I/O by formating the internal partition as F2FS, so i would also like to try it on the microsd for my Skyrocket. Seem nobody talked about it except i asked SultanXDA and he said he don't think he would implement it on his kernel and it's not supported atm, so i guess it will not work on your too. Thank for answering.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Thanks, [MENTION=4351374]shaggyskunk[/MENTION]! The learning experience alone with bringing this circa November 2011 device to LP 5.0.2 (and soon 5.1.X I hope) has been an amazing journey, considering a year ago I was basically a flashaholic who was trying to help out by fixing the GPS on the Skyrocket for SlimKat so we could get it into the weeklies...

I have to share the credit with [MENTION=4779996]gimmeitorilltell[/MENTION]. He and I have worked through several issues and updates together, and continue to collaborate on code common to the Skyrocket, Hercules and the Quincy. Also, I'm throwing a shout-out to [MENTION=4911350]RobbieL811[/MENTION], who has been so kind as to share build server resources, hosting, and has kept his Git sources updated regularly while Slim sorts out our infrastructure issues. Hit their thanks buttons if you see them around...

People like these guys make doing this fun. ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sanusaeed:
I've been experiencing a problem. My front camera seems to stop working now when I'm using skype. This started to happen three days ago. Before that it was working well. Works fine for a minute or two and then just stops working. Have to restart the phone to make it work. And the same happens again. I thought it might be the software issue so I updated to the 7th March update. Same happened again. And yesterday I updated to this latest 22nd march version and same is happening. Please help!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
So Skype was working but stopped? What do you mean by not working?

What changed 3 days ago? Maybe you installed something that broke it?

Something that could be related is the Torch tile. It doesn't work, and breaks the camera until a reboot if you use it.

Reboot and get me a logcat of Skype failing please.

I don't use Skype, but I have a clean flash installed on my SR. I'll try to install Skype and see if I can duplicate it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sanu.saeed:
Skype works fine, only my video doesn't work. It gets stucked and the call ends. When I call again everything works fine, my video doesn't open. I end Skype and try using camera. The back camera works fine but when I switch to front camera, it fails to open and gives me an error that camera has stopped working. This has been happening on all the three updates I've used.

I installed all necessary apps right after I flashed the ROM. Everything worked well but suddenly I started experiencing this issue. I didn't install anything else in that period.

Alright I'll prepare the logcat for this.

Thankyou so much.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
I tried installing Skype but didn't get far as I have no contacts and don't use it. I'm curious to see your logcat, especially if you say the back camera works properly... :confused:
