[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Thunder22:
Very awesome. Thank you so much for supporting our device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steveromingagain:
Appreciate new ROM,running well for 15 hrs now.

Had to uninstall and reinstall adaway to make it work,said not enough space.

Keep up the great work. Thanks

P.S. when you activate either email or gmail you get an mail exchange error,reinstall doesn't fix.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cerj:
Booted up my ole S2 and decided to check for new roms and bam. Thank you
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raptorddd:
I gave this a try.. Pretty goodand fast, even thiugh its at 1455 mghz seemoretty fast and smooth i koved it. But thebug i foundad its oosted, sometimes it stucks at boot.. Sometimes it wont boot, and it reboots itself, i then can see a optimizing but whenitboots i loose all settings..? I had ti uninstall sorry no catlog.. But very nice ad networksees to work..it goes onamd off butit locks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steveromingagain:
I found that all the 5.1 ROMs stay connected better if you delete all APN's except the one your using .
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raptorddd:
Theres nothing in there, onky when it locks then yrah.. I heard restoring default apns, same nothing haopens.. I also deleted the telephone.db file in data/data / telephony. It didnt connect just no signal so i got back to 5.02
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steveromingagain:
Connect WiFi 1st, when bars light up for phone signal,go into APN list fast and delete unused apn's. Hope this helps.

Same as you on reboot problem, resets all setting and sometimes reinstalls gapps all over again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raptorddd:
Ill try but will they stick aftet reboots without the need for wifi.?

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steveromingagain:
It did for me on This ROM,Candyvand Slim
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] franzpimp87:
Is anyone feeling that installations of apps are taking too longer or it's just me?

I do clean install this ROM and 5.1 PA GApps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dsfletch:
I love this rom but I'm having problems with it not letting me stay on the network

---------- Post added at 08:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:01 PM ----------

I have installed twice tonight. First round apps installed quicky. Second round it did seem to take more than normal time
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raptorddd:
Why not asking for skyricket build in g+ page.. Hes always there. I did but he said to use t989 boot.img.. To me seemed faster but you need to enable fsync or any data will be lost.. I think its been fixed on t989 build.. And data netwok too ; think.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dsfletch:
Ok so I switched out the build prop, update script and the apns conf.

It still took a bit to get all the apps optimized but the network came right up. Testing it now but so far it seems quite an improvement over what we had.

It's running much smoother. I'm quite impressed with the improvement
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steveromingagain:
You did better than me,lol. After doing all the switching and update files i got status 7 on install,I'll wait for update and try it again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raptorddd:
I think he said next week am not sure of new build.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dsfletch:
Worked great till I rebooted......Stuck in bootloop. so much for that
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] chris4824:
nope.. new rom and gapps will be up sometime today or tomorrow at the latest
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dsfletch:
Actually it's working very nicely after a second install. I'm unloading it to my Android file host account if anyone wants a copy let me know.

I developed a couple s4 roms and created some apps so I have an account

I won't be here long though because I'm getting a nexus 6
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steveromingagain:
Found yours on file host, got same status 7 error as one I tried to swap.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dsfletch:
That's weird wonder why it would work for me and not for you. I guess at times devices can be like snow flakes

Did you switch back to the stock TWRP_2.8.6.0_skyrocket and wipe your internal storage? I believe I was getting a status 7 on sultans TWRP recovery

This rom is not virtually partitioned
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steveromingagain:
Was going to redownload but don't see it on file host anymore. Can you repost it. I was on PA ROM with WiFi acting funny when I downloaded it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dsfletch:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=31905
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steveromingagain:
I'm on t989 new partition,no virtual. Used twrp standard and philz both,that's why I thought I may have gotten bad download,all other ROMs I'm testing load fine,pa,candy,slim, validus previous. By the way how is WiFi in validus's new build,dropping in and out on all the new lollipops I've tied.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dsfletch:
i'm not having any problem with wifi

HmmI didn't know about this new partition. I've had this phone only for backup. Link me to the thread please

Actually I found the thred. How about hooking me up with the file you modified please?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raptorddd:
Only problem i found was no network connection as all past lp builds .. And rr and loosing saved settings.. Which i think its already addressed om the upcoming build..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steveromingagain:
I used the premodified zip on t989 development site, 6 line down,its made from skyrocket pit file.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dsfletch:
You had network problem. The network on this came up for me before I reached the wifi screen on setup. And never went down once.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steveromingagain:
Second download worked perfect.

Data lte and WiFi working.

Do you know a quick fix for screen rotate ,its backwards,if you turn off rotate its correct but loose landscape viewing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raptorddd:
Is there any file uploaded wher i could use the less system ? Ive only ise like less then 700 mb
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steveromingagain:
I used dsfletch's copy( 221mb) in his message on last page.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dsfletch:
That is a pain and no I don't. Do you have anything to boost the volume on the skyrocket?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steveromingagain:
Haven't seen any patches for volume ,but I watch download music videos with mxplayer and it let's you change decoder to s/w and that doubles my volume .
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steveromingagain:
[MENTION=993377]chris4824[/MENTION] Is there a different kernel need for skyrocket from t989. Read where kernel can effect the landscape and portrait issue I'm having?

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raptorddd:
I think viper for android does..

---------- Post added at 06:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:50 AM ----------

This is dsfletch's Validus link.

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=19255

Vincom has link in 1st sticky to new reparation by t989 site.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raptorddd:
But whats the differwnce, am a bit confused.. Isnt chris suppose to upload a new build?? Whats the difference in his build?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steveromingagain:
Took new build from t989 and converted it too skyrocket.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raptorddd:
If i tey to flash ths . will i need new sk kernel?how is this working?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steveromingagain:
All works good but had to turn off orientation in pull down,don't know if its a kernel problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raptorddd:
Ok thing is i need a pc to perform the parition.. The one i have wont flash gets stuck at aet up connection too old. Lol..thanks

I dont know if this will help or if its related. I remember someone saying something similar.. Try develiper options

Force RTL layout..

See if iy helps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] chris4824:
you cannot use Hercules kernel for skyrocket.. Screen orientation is messed up.. About the only difference between the two devices.. I have an updated skyrocket rom in the G+ section.. Go check it out.. And also for quicker replys, post in the G+ community.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steveromingagain:
Thanks for Skyrocket update,running smooth,no more orientation problems.

Thanks again!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steveromingagain:
phone won't hang up

Tested phone and red hangup button would disappear like it was hanging up,and stuck there. It will not finish call til person on other end hangs up. [MENTION=993377]chris4824[/MENTION]
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] chris4824:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raptorddd:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steveromingagain:
Make sure you have Chris's new one off file host and not dsfletch. I got it from Chris4824 G+ site.

P.S. I don't know if it matters but I installed with philz recovery and used banks gapps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raptorddd:
I used from t.989 thread thered android filehost for smyrocket amd hercules

So all ext4 intermal.amd.sd.as.fat?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steveromingagain:
I used the premade reparation with twrp and formated all the same, I didn't select fat.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raptorddd:
Ok ill.try onemoretime as.its.almot 1am. Here.. I transfer.them.with twrp.and.twice I deleted.the rom lol. My mistake. thanks ill.hope.if.works.i.dont get hang up.issue
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sealy64:
Repartition link

Could I beg someone to post a specific link to the exact PIT file. I have seen many references to various threads, but with this being a PIT file (which scares me to try, but I do want the extra space), I really, really, really don't want to get the wrong file and make a mistake. (My understanding is that you do a complete backup of the internal sd card, including the stuff that doesn't get backed up when making a nandroid, and then flash the PIT file with Odin, right? After that, just flash any ROM?)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steveromingagain:
Vincon has it on his Sticy page. http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2-tmobile/development/mod-partition-internal-memory-t-989-t3051556 or try this link.

[MENTION=993377]chris4824[/MENTION]. Reinstalled again with philz without gapps ,same phone problem,

Install again with TWRP 2.8.6.0 without gappa and same thing,previous build did not do this.

Tried to get aLogcat and extreme logcat ti work but there pages are blank,installed supersu and logcat still wouldn't work,strange.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raptorddd:
OK am on validus now seems skyrocket needs all formatted to ext4 before I had internal SD and external as fat as they suggested. So after all formatted to ext4 it got installed this is for skyrocket users I guess.

[MENTION=993377]chris4824[/MENTION] as Steve mentioned can't hung up unless other person does or pull battery hehe.. And same I tried to get a logcat but it would not start monitoring the phone it installs but I only see a reloading icon that's it..

By the way this ROM its so cool.. Its all dark no need for themes
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steveromingagain:
[MENTION=993377]chris4824[/MENTION]. If it helps, the build dsflecth converted from t989 with orientation problem has perfect working phone and logcat program works. Hope this helps.

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] chris4824:
logging is disabled again in this build for performance. You can enable it with terminal.. As for the phone I must have gotten some test commits mixed up. Sorry bout that.. Will get a new build up asap for you guys.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steveromingagain:
Will you post new build here or on G+ [MENTION=993377]chris4824[/MENTION]
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] chris4824:
it will always be on G+ first when I build and I'll update it here as soon as I can
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] chris4824:
Hang up bug has been fixed for Hercules and skyrocket.. Will have it up when AFH comes back online..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] franzpimp87:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raptorddd:
I found a bug.. Cant import contacts feom sim card. Already posted on g+

Amd this rom must be cwm flash if twrp ots used it wont work.. Can you ipdate this info @ chris
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steveromingagain:
I didn't try twrp and my contacts always update from Google account when I sign in to Google play.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raptorddd:
Twrp vs cwm i meant everytime i ise twrp it dont install and file gets corruoted.. I used cwm and it installed fine..

I dont have thwm save on googles. I save them on sim card..

This is not twrp or cwm realtwd its the rom. The option to copy the contacts feom sim is missing... But i went to playstore and downloaded sim contacts from needom studio and it allowed me to read my sim card and copy the contacts to phone..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] chris4824:
flashed just fine for me using TWRP.. I'm still using Chets TWRP
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raptorddd:
Well it must be skyrockets twrp.. It will flash but wont boot then if i re try again file its corrupted and have to redownload again . am using phone as i dont have a pc.. Lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steveromingagain:
Maybe different gapps would help, first gapps I tried would not finish network setup, second gapps package worked perfect. Not sure if that would effect sim card contacts issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] chris4824:
its not the rom.. Its lollipop.. Look here http://webcazine.com/13389/android-5-0-lollipop-how-to-adddeletetransfer-sim-card-contacts/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steveromingagain:
You will need to add sim manager too your own gapps,lol [MENTION=993377]chris4824[/MENTION]
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raptorddd:
I dont think so. I think its rom related. Why you ask?? Cause everytime ive flash i do clean flash fresh all wiped and i never experience this its working on past build its been there in all roms not on this one particular build.. I think since the not hanging up issue, ot got fixed but something got corrupted .. Simce noth are related. Like i said everytime , thats the first thing i do .. Pull contacts as i have my neighbors wifi key in there lol.. So i dont dirty flash.. Must be related to the vant hang up isuue that got fixed.

Steve i ise tbo gapps.. Never had problems with it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steveromingagain:
Just curious, tried mine and sim iimport and export works.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] chris4824:
[MENTION=5308112]raptorddd[/MENTION] can you confirm that the hang up bug is gone.. I tested before hand and it was fine but I have another user saying its still there..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steveromingagain:
I've been testing it for phone problem since install,play music then test,play mxplayer video then test,Google Play and then test and no problems for several hrs. Will keep testing but in past it took 7 or 8 hrs before it happen and had to have WiFi on at same time. I put a pastebin on PArom site yesterday for that problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raptorddd:
Definitively its been fixed ive sent attached a screen record to prove
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raptorddd:
I have seen nothing other than the contact copy to phone missimg but theres easy fix..

One observation [MENTION=219148]Chris[/MENTION] is..

Status bar when pull down i love that pic od the pine trees and a walkimg wolf.. But right under battery icon the color and the battery amd weather seems hard to see.. Should be dark. And i would love color customazation on signal bar wifi ect.. Toouch to ask. Bit am loving ot. Thanks for thw hard work.. Beign there here and so mamy places , answwring to questions amd problems kudos for you..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raptorddd:
Indeed heje wtf.. ??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steveromingagain:
My add sim contacts is under ( contacts app) not phone dialer. Might give that a try.

Hope this helps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raptorddd:
It is but i remembered ive tried there there was no such thing. Lol.. Now it does.. I always get them in dialer. Either i check and ot wasnt there or.. The new changes from cm12 removed. . lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] franzpimp87:

2850 theres one from vincom but i rember they said to use 2860 for 5.1
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] franzpimp87:
I'm using same 2.8.6.0 version. It could be found on One Stop Thread by vincom. And yes, they say latest recovery is recommended, so 2.8.6.0 is; I have no clue why you're having issues with it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raptorddd:
Me neither.. I justflashbut wont booy.and reflashing agaib results in rom fike corrupted.. O dont knoe.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steveromingagain:

Gapps 5.1.15

Still running perfect,no bugs at all. No reboots or FC's.

I use twrp to transfer files and I think while doing it was corrupted. Right now I used twrp transfer using mass storage.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] butthurtlocker:
did a complete wie, downloaded gapps and rom, it booted after 7 m inutes to nothing. just blank home screen, very glitchy, finally got into settings and see all the gapps and system apps in apps section but cannot access anything. keeps saying set up wizard is not responding. Any idea what i did wrong?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] franzpimp87:
Maybe you need to download ROM and GApps files again, and flash them again following Install Instructions at the OP.

Hope you just had a corrupted zip. Give it a try, ROM works very well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sealy64:
Installation

Some ROM installation instructions say to boot and let settle after flashing ROM but before flashing gapps, and then return to recovery to flash gapps as a next step. Does that give different results than flashing gapps immediately after flashing the ROM, without rebooting and letting settle in between? (I'm asking for all ROMS, not just this one.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raptorddd:
Rom first boot up its building alot of stuff so they say to let it settle for 10 min then flash gapps
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] franzpimp87:
Yes, may be different... for example, I was using tkruzze pa gapps which states that if you want to have google camera, it must be flashed in clean install; so, if I flash ROM, reboot, let it settle, and then reboot recovery and flash gapps, google camera doesn't install and leave stock camera.

When I installed this ROM and GApps, I did this:

Wipe system, data, cache, dalvik

flash ROM

flash GApps

Reboot.

Let phone set about 3 minutes after boot.

follow google settings wizard.

and let google restore my data before make any change or install another app.
