Thanks, yes the UCMC1 radio or newer is needed for this. It is one of the last versions available for the Skyrocket. My Slim threads have this but I didn't see that mentioned here, so I have updated the OP.

Cheers!

Does this ROM has Apollo music player installed?

Everything is working on my Skyrocket SGH-I727R but when I want to install gapps from my recovery it says it successful but I can't find google play when I installed the zip. Do I need to use a different GAPPS file?

Candy 5 v2.5.3 onto skyrocket I727 as well as I727R)

tried to update from v2.5.1 .Got Google play bug .

Then did a full wipe and installed on both units with slim Gapps .No more chance .same error .When back to prvious version from restore .

Should we be able to update from the previous 5.1.1 buid v2.5.1 ?

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Make sure you are using an up-to-date version of GApps. Recommended is Slim's Zero GApps (~60MB), a link to which you can find in the OP.

Minor Question

How would you update the 2.53 version to this one?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
When you flash the ROM, either the GApps package you flash needs Google Now (might be Google Search, not sure), or you need to install it from the Play Store separately. Voice input on the AOSP/Google keyboards may be missing as well until you do.

I partitioned my Skyrocket to have a 6GB Data partition so the tiny GApps is fine and I can install pretty much all I want for apps. It's quite nice. :)

Wipe Dalvik and Cache in recovery

Make a nandroid backup

Flash the ROM

Flash either Slim Zero GApps or a very small base GApps package

Reboot

Have fun!

Flashing Potential Issue

I am currently Flashing the ROM using TWRP and everything seems good it's just that its stock on "Patching system unconditionally" It's been on that step for about ten minutes. I did the Cache and Dalvick Cache wipes. So I Don't know what I did wrong.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Then it sounds like there were core changes which may require a full wipe (/data or a factory reset).

I normally clean flash to test, so unless I've made a change that I know requires a full wipe, or coming from another version (5.0 vs. 5.1, etc.) I would suggest to try dirty first and see. If you get stuck, as you have, then I'd go clean.

Sorry for any inconvenience...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Twisterboy669:
When I down graded bak to 2.5.3 It flashed perfectly. So do I just wait for the next update or is their a solution because none of the methods you mentioned to me are working. I backed up my data and did a full factory reset.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Have you wiped /system in the process?

Have you formatted your device with ODIN using a PIT file, or have you used any virtual partitioning?

Post your recovery log. You can export it from TWRP.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Twisterboy669:

Bummer. Haven't had any such issue here.

If you can hold Power and the Volume +/- keys at the right time and get to recovery, try wiping cache and dalvik, and/or re-flashing the ROM.

Clean flashed, correct?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Your problem is that your GApps package won't fit into the System partition. This is because GApps have generally increased in size.

For Candy5, please use the Slim Zero GApps for 5.1 found on [MENTION=4911350]RobbieL811[/MENTION]'s site.

skyrocket candy5-release.v2.7-20150628

I dirty flashed the update and not long after my phone started overheating and attempting reboots and getting stuck at the samsung splash screen with random lines on the screen. this might be a coincidence... flashing back to your previous release to see if this is a problem with the phone or the update. just thought I should mention it in case others have similar problem.

But I have to say that I've been using your ROM for about a month now and doing updates as they are released and it's really good...fast and stable! Thanks!!

Update: flashed back to 20150624 ROM seems to be fine. going to flash the update on my other skyrocket and see if the problem is repeatable

Update: I've tried two different skyrocket phones. They work well with 6/24 but not 06/28 or anything newer 07/05. They reboot in a bad way and overheat. The screen gets hot and I get lines and pixels around the Samsung logo at reboot ... Need to pop out the battery every time. Flash back to 06/24 and all is good. I just want the updates! Not that anything is really wrong with 6/24 it's really excellent. Just drops my signal periodically. (I have the newer radio) thanks to nospamdan hope you get the new bugs worked out!

I don't know if I'm the only one who can't install updates? I've tried various ones and they crash the phone(s) hard requiring battery pull? I've been stuck at 0624 ... Is that the last good one? Er am I doing something wrong?

I see the changelogs have lots of fixes

Ughhh

Have been running into really annoying issues lately. Firstly, on really frequent occasions the rom freezes and then the phone reboots and never comes back on, then I have to remove the battery and wipe cache. Then repeat after about 7 minutes. Also, the rom just does not run well on my s2 anymore. At first when I installed the rom it ran perfectly, but then stuff life a said in the former started to happen. Is their anyway I can fix this?

Howdy

Ukrainian user here. Black Galaxy S6, assembled in Vietnam. The screen is affected by this issue in both: upper and lower right corners (lower right more).

Since this is a somewhat common issue now, I would suggest it is a manufacturing flaw and thus, nothing to be concerned over. It's not like Samsung will hand you over a replacement device because of it (it doesn't affect functionality a slight bit). Plus there's lots of people having much more significant issues with their devices.

What do you think.

Its the screen pushed down more on the corner than it need to be, or the frame isnt good?

Also check every other corner on the front and back as well, i have seen few phones with this flaw on the back ...
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 2747343:
its not a "issue" its a design feature, the top and bottom of the metal bezels are raised up to protect the screen from drops, placing it upside down etc, you will notice that it rises up smoothly from the center of the bezel on the side to the top/bottom, its the same for the back
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cipjanin:
Not really, this is only on the right bottom egde...

And that corner of the screen seems to be little under the frame in the corner...

for some milimetar, if u are seeing it form the side its very noticable when comparing the two sides..
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aameghoo:
I'm pretty sure that's the design of the phone, especially since it's on pretty much every phone. Looking at it closely it seems to create an ever so slight gap between the glass of the phone and any flat surface you might set it on. Plus the top and the bottom of the phone's frame is thicker than the sides

32g g920f yes

I have it too. 3 days in my hands brand new. Made in Korea. I have also seen some demos that were worst, i mean all the sides front and back totally outlined from the frame.

Mine is exactly at the same side as the pics (over the mic) and only there. but its so small. I don't think that's the design, more like a faulty build i believe. But since i need to try very much to see it and it doesn't affect its functionality, its ok.

Maybe some day i will ask Samsung about it.

I hate phone cases normally but I find the edge really uncomfortable in the hand and far too slippery! Ended up getting a Spigen hybrid crystal and it's actually quite nice. It doesn't make the phone look too tacky and it's slightly rubberised - saved me from dropping it a few times already!
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Globalrebel:
I just use the full body cover. I was using a case, but once you cover up the front and back and sides, the grip of this thing is more then enough. I hate cases and I like the feel of the phone without it. So, that's just how I roll. I'm glad I put the protector on though, cause I've already seen scratches on the protector and a few dings/dents. Woudl rather replace the film for $10, then replace the damn phone.

I always use the phones fully naked, and they all get scratches. My S6 Edge already have some scratches on the back, i just don't mind. I rather have some little scratches than have to use a screen protector, i hate the feeling of it.

About my life style, i do a lot of sports and stuff and the phone goes to bags, pockets, gets water sprays, a little rain, dirt , dust .. for my iphone i do use sometimes a Lifeprof case for extreme sports, for android phones they usually go naked because i change the device a lot so i don't buy cases for them. I never cracked a screen thought .
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasK:
I'm using it naked as well. Important to make sure you always have a dedicated pocket for it.

I'm an indoor engineer, so the phone doesn't have the risk of dropping (unless I have butter fingers, but i don't). In my lab if it's not in my pocket, I put it on a non-slip mat.

I also have a Spigen slim armor which I use when I'm out cycling, misc sports or with the kids. 4 weeks now. Flawless :)
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DustinBooyah:
Mines naked. I figure I'd just be careful instead of compromising and not experiencing the phone as intended.

I'm looking into cases anyway though because I'm getting scratches on the bottom of the back. It hasn't even been a month so I could only imagine what it'll be in two years.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Graffiti Exploit:
Thank you all for your inputs. I decided to go with the Nilkin TPU case. It adds grip but looks like nothing is actually there. It is easy to remove when I like to use the phone naked.

Sometimes I even put the plastic wrap from the box when I put it in a bag just to be sure. Lol.

I got the S6 edge after shattering my totally naked Note 4. I was a bit crushed, especially since I got that 8 months ago after doing the same with the naked Note 3. So I vowed I would use protection this time. I bought the skinomi screen protector and the Spigen Ultra Hybrid for my S6E. I absolutely hated the skinomi. It made the screen feel and look disgusting. I'd rather break my screen and not have a phone than use that nasty thing. The Spigen case is ok, but it takes away from the beauty of the phone's curves. Also it seems to mainly protect the back of the phone, which is quite cheap ($30+ original oem). So I took that off too. I just need to be more careful *fingers crossed*.
