Tried your latest build. All I can say is SWEET! I'll let you know if I find any bugs.

Thanks! Please keep up the good work!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sealy64:
I clean flashed the new 6/23/2015 ROM and 6/21 slim zero gapps. After letting google restore apps and passwords, I found that I had to reboot and flash the audio_update-2 to keep from losing phone audio after using Hangouts dialer. Other than that, so far, so good.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
YOU again! [emoji14] lol Just kidding.

I keep meaning to get into this deeper but haven't had the time to. I need to speak with [MENTION=2107489]bryan2894[/MENTION] about this patch and all...

At lest we have a work around. [emoji6]
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
New 5.1 build is UP!

I made a new build for the Hercules folks, so I ran another for the Skyrocket. Not a ton of changes, but the "official" Volume Wake fix is included.

Make a nandroid backup in case you have any issues!

ROM: candy5-release.v2.5.6-20150624-UNOFFICIAL-skyrocket.zip

(MD5: c5c64f42bb4e5c7a73d40c38afff9411)

If you use Hangouts Dialer and find you lose audio after using it, you can try flashing this audio patch. (Credit goes to [MENTION=2107489]bryan2894[/MENTION].)

Clean install ,loaded fine. No gappa install during first bug,data dropped after 10 min and wouldn't come back,tried toggling data and WiFi and ended up rebooting. So gar it it easy to repeat while surfing 5 mins. It drops and comes back a min later now. So hears ya a pastebin Hope this helps.

Oh,love the new app window. : )

Also,if it matters, stock browser crashing should be in logcat. Just used Firefox to post this. No crash.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Thanks. There were no changes to the RIL, so without a log, can you check your APN settings?

Mine were set to a different one after one flash...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steveromingagain:
Yes on APN all good.when it's on LTE its fast but suddenly drops out still showing full bars. Did the paatebin link not show it. I'll get another if that link is bad.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Thanks, didn't see a Pastebin log though. I suspect this is coming from upstream...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steveromingagain:
Log is in title of first post too you,copy and and paste.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
OK, I found it above your quoted text. Why no link and only text?

I'm actually at work right now, and Pastebin is blocked... figures.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Finally able to pull your log from home now. Nothing data-related in there that I can see... did you filter it or stop it early?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steveromingagain:
Didn't filter but did stop logcat extreme just after it happened. Will clean install and get another one for you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Test Build

(removed)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steveromingagain:
Fresh install, boots but won't install sim card. Trys installing sim card every 10 secs but then stops showing a pic of sim card at top with line threw it. If you need log of this ,I'll reload after work tomorrow and get one. Hope this helps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Removed the test build. Created new issues.

My OnePlus running SlimLP had the disconnect issue yesterday. I believe now that this is either a carrier issue or upstream in our sources. Time will tell.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Official OTA support is HERE!

I am happy to report that we will have Official OTA support going forward!

This means that you will need to visit the CandyRoms BasketBuild Skyrocket folder for future builds. I'll update the OP and downloads post (Post #2) accordingly.

Builds I think are normally run at 8PM CST on Saturday nights.

This thread will still be used for discussion and test builds of course. For any issues, clean flash and provide a logcat please. :)

Enjoy some CANDY!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steveromingagain:
Please check file link you just posted, does nothing when clicked. Only up a level works. This is while trying download with phone on Opera mini and stock browser.

Thanks [MENTION=4435460]NoSpamDan[/MENTION]

P.S. works on laptop.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
You have to scroll the file name to the left to see the download and MD5 links. Works fine on PC screen though, lol.

Even on my OnePlus I have to do this.

Cell data disconnect

This is good news.

When flashing ROMs via TWRP, I always have had trouble getting WiFi passwords restored. My google account seems to back up and restore apps and home screens, but WiFi passwords always get lost and I have to re-enter all of them manually. I have my account set to backup and restore passwords; it just doesn't work. Does anyone/everyone have this same problem? Will OTA updates change this?

The last version of the ROM I installed was 20150623. While travelling over the past couple of days, I experienced some cell data drops. I had not noticed the data drops in the prior version of the ROM... but I also had not been travelling and therefore had not been on cell data much. In which version of the ROM was the cell drop noticed? Is it still there? Did versions prior to 20150623 drop cell data? Does the 20150628 OTA still have the data drop?

TWRP 2.8.7.0 with F2FS!

Anyone feeling adventurous? Credit goes to [MENTION=5795145]javelinanddart[/MENTION] , who has compiled new TWRP recoveries that support f2fs...

You can find .img, .tar, and .zip formats in my AFH Skyrocket TWRP folder. I've created a new folder named with the version number.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:
w/official non modded 2.8.7.0 i cant select sdcard to install zips from, states no os installed when rebooting, any1 else confirm.

tried the 2.8.7.0 tar file, same thing. needed to use odin to flash back to 2.8.6.0.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
I'll take a look and check with [MENTION=5795145]javelinanddart[/MENTION] on this... thinking that the mount points may be off...

For the time being I'll make my sources private until we get this sorted out. Thanks for the heads-up, [MENTION=4057370]vincom[/MENTION]!

Hmm.... Hercules worked fine....

---------- Post added at 04:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:59 PM ----------

I just rebuilt and tested, Hercules worked fine, and so did Skyrocket. Flashed them both on my hercules to test.

Unfortunetely I don't have the original builds to confirm, but it's working fine now, I'll give [MENTION=4435460]NoSpamDan[/MENTION] a chance to upload the new ones

Just a side note, the recovery flashable zip says samsung galaxy s blaze 4g, it's not. It's for skyrocket, I repurposed my old installer because they use the same mount points
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:
i used official 2.8.7.0 a few times, zip and tar, its borked, i posted that info in the twrp thread for someone else to confirm but as yet no one has.

ill try the modded one when its available.

Phone app causing reboot

I used the OTA to install 20150628 over my existing 20150623. Process completed OK but phone hard boots (black screen, the Samsung) whenever I try to dial using the regular phone app. Happened twice.

I'm still curious about my previous questions, quoted above, which may have gotten lost in the new posts about TWRP.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] javelinanddart:
oh you haven't tried my F2FS one?

---------- Post added at 06:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:51 PM ----------

Try wiping system, cache and dalvik and installing manually

Always a good rule of thumb if something goes wrong ;)

Wiping everything is good too, but that's not always possible :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] javelinanddart:
Can you try now? :)

It's been tested good.

If you wouldn't mind testing F2FS with a clean flash and changing data and cache to F2FS
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:
im a newb to f2fs, does it work on any rom/build or just loli as im on kk,
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] javelinanddart:
It works for sure on this ROM, I don't know about others because it looks like no one else has really implemented this stuff
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
TWRP 2.8.7.0 with F2FS should be good now!

OK, the TWRP 2.8.7.0 files in my AFH account are public again. It seems that only the Skyrocket was affected. I have re-uploaded new files for the Skyrocket which have a twrp.fstab file in them. This was missing in the first version.

Here's the deal:

If you want to try F2FS, you need to format /data and /cache to F2FS using this recovery, and your ROM has to support it. Period. There are specific commits required for this.

/data and /cache are the only partitions you want to format to F2FS

This Candy5 ROM has the necessary commits.

My Slim builds do not (yet lol).

You can use this recovery to flash Slim or any other ROM as long as your /data and /cache partitions are formatted to EXT4, not F2FS.

If you mess up and flash a non-F2FS ROM with the /data and /cache partitions formatted as F2FS, you will bootloop. I was able to recover simply by rebooting to recovery, re-formatting /data and /cache to EXT4, and re-flashing my ROM again. Easy peasy.

Flash at your own risk as with any recovery there is always a risk of (soft) bricking your device!

That said, I did notice that SD/ExternalSD selection works, and the vibration is working too. Added bonus: In the reboot options, there is now a Download mode. Maybe it was there before and I never noticed it, idk. There's also a Resize button, the function of which is unclear to me at this time.

So get your Odin/Stock ROMs ready, have an older recovery version handy, and give this a whirl. I'm using it and only had an issue trying to flash a ROM without F2FS device support using F2FS formatting on /data and /cache.

TWRP 2.8.7.0 with F2FS support for the Samsung Galaxy SII Skyrocket

Enjoy!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sealy64:
Crashing

I downloaded the 20150628 version of the ROM via the CandyOTA. My first flash of that booted, but then I experienced crashes, so I ended up starting over with a manual flash. Using TWRP 2.8.6, I wiped data, system, cache, and dalvik. Then I flashed the ROM zip from the CandyOTA folder, followed immediately by slim zero gapps 20150629. When booting up for the frist time, I connected to a wifi network and also entered my gmail account info, but I selected the option to set up as a new device, rather than restoring anything from google. Boot seemed to finish normally.

I opened the stock dialer and entered a number manually. When I pressed Call to make the connection, the screen froze for 10 seconds or so and then went black. I think it was still running, with black screen, because pressing the Power button did not get it to reboot. I had to pull the battery (or press Power more than ten seconds). I rebooted and tried dialing four time. The first and fourth times, the call completed normally. The second and third, it did not.

Thoughts?

I am curious. Are others running the 20150628? Is stock Dialer working for you? Which exact version of gapps are you using? Which version of TWRP? (I have used TWRP 2.8.6 successfully for quite a few flashes prior to this one.)

Added: I reverted to my old, working version and then flashed the 20150628 ROM and 20150629 slim zero gapps over it. Dialer crashes just as it does with clean flash of 20150628. Logcat is here: http://pastebin.com/f43aqE5c .
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Hmmm, what radio are you using? And what version of TWRP did you say you were using to flash.?

I have not tested that GApps version, only up to the 6/20 one... Will look at the log when I can, PasteBin is blocked here at my work. :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sealy64:
More info on crashing Dialer

I use TWRP 2.8.6.0. Baseband I727RUXUMA7. See attached screen shot for more info. I currently have the 20150621 installed and Dialer works flawlessly. Flashing over this with 20150628 or clean flash of that same 20150628 crashes Dialer consistently
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Cuzz1369:
Don't flash gapps on a dirty flash, especially if it's a different gapps package than you had previously. There is a backup script in place and flashing "new" gapps makes things screwy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sealy64:
Thanks for the advice. I will remember it for the future. In this case, however, it does not affect the problem I am having. Even with a clean flash of the ROM plus gapps, stock Dialer crashes.

By the way, I tried receiving a call and it worked fine (only tried it once, unfortunately), but trying to place a call crashes (black screen).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Cuzz1369:
Have you tried clear app data of the dialer?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sealy64:
This was a clean install, including a full wipe of system, data, cache, and dalvik prior to the flash. That should clean everything, right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Cuzz1369:
Well whenever there is a problem with one specific app the best and first thing to do would be to clear data and reboot. Most likely won't help but could help rule some things out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sealy64:
I made a nandroid of my working 20150621 Candy. I then installed 20150628 over it. I tried the cache wipe and thought it worked but then Dialer crashed phone (black screen; battery pull) again. I experimented it with it for quite a while, including several TWRP wipes of cache. It seemed to work for a while (dialed several calls properly). After I put phone down for a while and then picked it back up, however, it crashed when Dialing. I tried setting scheduler to noop but this didn't seem to make a difference. I also tried a clean installation of Candy 20150628, with 20150621 slim zero gapps. Same results.

Sadly I have had to revert to my nandroid from the 20150621 version, as this phone is my daily driver.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sealy64:
Who else is running the 20150628 version of the ROM? Are you having problems such as mine (stock Dialer crashes) or other problems? Did you use TWRP 2.8.6? What version of gapps (I've tried slim zero gapps 20150621 and 20150629)? Did you install OTA or some other method? Did you flash over a previous version or clean? Thanks in advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jshamlet:
I did a dirty flash over the last build, and I'm now experiencing hard locks during deep sleep. I have switched the scheduler to noop, so hopefully that will stop.

Not sure what happened, as the last build rarely crashed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Good on you for making a nandroid!!!

ME! Yes my dialer is not messed up at all, but I have a problem with the sleep of death.

Simple. When we went OTA, our qcom-common repo got pulled from a different place, effectively breaking power off charging and a bunch of stuff that [MENTION=4779996]gimmeitorilltell[/MENTION] and I worked through months ago.

For now, the 6/24 build I uploaded is linked in Post #2 again. I will post a new build here when it's done that should be night and day better. Sorry for any inconvenience, folks... stay tuned and I'll post it when it's ready.

[MENTION=6148317]Sealy64[/MENTION] [MENTION=5801481]Steveromingagain[/MENTION] check your PMs... :)

Is the 6/24 build I linked in Post #2 working well?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sealy64:
I can't remember whether I tried 6/24; I think I skipped from 6/21 to 6/28 OTA. Isn't 6/24 the version where [MENTION=5801481]Steveromingagain[/MENTION] reported cell data drop and failure to recognize SIM card?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Got me wondering now. OTA should be done overnight here. I just orginized the CandyRoms AFH Skyrocket folder, so if you want to look at Candy5 builds you can find them here:

CandyRoms Candy5 AFH Skyrocket build folder

NoSpamDan Candy5 AFH Skyrocket build folder

(I upload my builds to CandyRoms AFH too :) )

The OTAs are/will be hosted in CandyRoms' BasketBuild Skyrocket folder
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sealy64:
Would builds at "CandyRoms Candy5 AFH..." and at "NoSpamDan Candy5 AFH..." be bitwise identical to one another? Do these two links mirror one another or is something different between the two?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
I upload builds to both places, but not usually the same build to both.

My NoSpamDan AFH account is where I stick builds that may be untested, and sometimes I will comment on them as far as what was removed or added or the purpose of the build.

The Candy AFH location was really for "official" builds before the BasketBuild OTA folders were created.

Hope that helps!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sealy64:
I flashed the 20150705 from Basket Build over a restored nandroid from 201506xx. Like the OTAs, it caused a couple of black-screen lockups/reboots within 20 minutes or so. I've re-restored the nandroid and am using it for now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sealy64:
I flashed the 20150705 from Basket Build again, this time with Philz. Still get frequent lockups/reboots. The 20150621 is the last one that does not have this problem for me. (Still not sure I ever tried the 20150624.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Don't bother with the OTA builds that are on BasketBuild. They should have been removed the other day. It looks like the recent one was removed but the original 6/28 one is there. I'll check on that.

IIRC, 6/21 had the Volume wake I think, and 6/23 had those changes pushed to Git and committed for the build. 6/24 I think was a courtesy build because I was building a Hercules release and figured why not... :)

PhilZ is outdated, although it may still work. It was retired before Lollipop builds were available for the Skyrocket. If it works, great, but if not, it is not supported, so it's up to the individual. I always had a flashable TWRP on-hand when I ran PhilZ myself... ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sealy64:
Am I correct that Philz was CWM with some custom stuff and extensions wrapped around it?

Philz Touch 6.48.4 noted Clockwork Mod v6.0.5.0. Elsewhere I the latest version of CWM I can find is 6.0.4.3. Is there any CWM-based recovery that is new enough to support Lollipop, or is TWRP the only up-to-date recovery option now? Are there alternative recoveries other than TWRP or CWM-based?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
PhilZ was a lot more than that... But now it's outdated.

TWRP is up to date, but some teams are building CWM along with the ROM.

I never played with it much myself actually.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sealy64:
I have been running 20150621 Candy ROM mostly for a couple of weeks. I have had GPS dropout problems while using Google Navigation. Logcat from most recent episode is attached. The signal stayed lost for minutes. A couple of minutes into the loss, someone called. Phone rang/vibrated but there was no visual indication of call. Navigation screen was stuck. Phone rebooted itself (did not have to rebuild apps) a minute later.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
New builds are forthcoming. I've had no time and finally got some big issues sorted. Hopefully this is one of them...

I wish it was as easy as syncing and building, but it has been far from that. I've had to iteratively build and test, and it gets old real quick LOL.

Thanks for your patience.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Just checking in here, folks. I know it's been a while. I've been working on some issues with data drops, LTE not staying on for Straight Talk, network "hunting", but haven't enjoyed much success. We're not getting back into the OTA cycle until this is fixed up. :)

New Build is UP!

OK, folks... I know it's been a while, and I also just discovered that my latest builds went to hyperspace when we lost our Slim buildserver...

It's been a struggle with mobile data drop outs and SODs, but hopefully you'll enjoy running this build. I'll put it into Post #2 as well. Sorry for any inconvenience with the loss of the downloads.

This build should have all the latest Candy features, mobile data working and no RRs/SODs:

ROM: candy5-release.v3.2-20150805-UNOFFICIAL-skyrocket.zip

MD5: 7ca61c5aa35c00ea7f1c3755a4d1e30f

Recommended GApps: Slim_zero_gapps.BETA.5.1.build.0.x-20150729.zip

Please no bug reports without logcat logs, or you may be ignored. I've worked too hard on this... ;)

If you need to report a radio or mobile data issue, use this to capture the radio log: adb logcat -b radio

I hope you do enjoy this!

(PS: Get TWRP 2.8.7.0 with F2FS support in Post #2 as well...)
