[MENTION=2107489]bryan2894[/MENTION]. Your work put smiles on our faces and thank you again.

I still get the network bars disappearing but i think it's reduced to two or three times a day and a few restarts too.

After i flashed the current ROM i noticed something concerning the battery %. My phone was dead and i decided to charge it, I plugged in the charger and the booted up but noticed the % has risen to 53% within 2 minutes of charge. I decided not to charge it and see what happens next but unfortunately it was dead again in about 10 minutes.

Try flashing the UCNJ1 radio. Haven't gotten a reboot since.

And for battery, yes, I get terrible battery life too. Don't know why, though. Try the dark material // regression+ theme.

Yep.

I installed CPUspy and so far the WiFi isn't killing my battery. It's been on my phone for about an hour. I will report back later on tonight with an update about the battery
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Easy_as_Pi_3.14:
Yes, WiFi doesn't seem to be the culprit. WiFi, if I remember correctly, didn't really hurt the Rocket. Is it the screen or the GPU? I noticed debug.sf.hw=1 in the build.prop, which, if I remember correctly, forces GPU acceleration.

Something just doesn't seem right.

But in Doze, (got it to work watching Xmas movies) I got a 1% drop in battery in ~5hrs. And Hill Climb Racing was in the foreground. And WiFi was on (but connected at full bars). :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] zappa41:
How'd you get doze to work?? Does it kick in automatically? Cause I'm not seeing it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Easy_as_Pi_3.14:
BBCode, please work!

TL;DR Translation:

Put your phone down. Unplug it. Don't use it. Don't move it. Your battery becomes amazing, as your phone "dozes off". It is something you don't see, because if you stop to look at your phone, it "wakes up". It is entirely automatic.

Techy translation:

Android monitors for the following things:

your accelerometer/other sensors to see if you aren't moving

your phone is unplugged

it hasn't been used in a while.

If these are true, it will enter a super awesome power saving mode where it forces the CPU into deep sleep, decreases data transfer, and uses rare, scheduled wakeups to allow for priority notifications. Only apps that specifically are granted allowance to override Doze can interrupt this, and they can only so this by being filtered by Google to make sure there is a real need for it (Tasker got kicked from the Play Store temporarily for this) or if you manually enable it.

LOL so after getting used to Material Design, I turned on my Allwinner clone on 4.2.2... Holo has really tacky shadows in comparison to MD. :)

Has anyone been able to get Face Unlock to work? Settings > Lock screen > Screen unlock > password or PIN > Smart unlock > Trusted face? I get a FC. Is it related to the front facing camera issue someone else was having?

I believe I found out why AOSP Keyboard is constantly crashing. /system/lib/libjni_latinimegoogle.so is the issue.

However, if you delete that, you get AOSP keyboard, but you don't get gesture typing.

But you get the new emoji!

I just wanted to chime in and say thanks for this ROM. I'm no longer using the skyrocket as my daily driver so i don't even have a sim card in it, but I fired it up and flashed this and have had zero issues. Obviously, I'm not making calls and such but it seems responsive and everything I've tried so far has worked as expected. Now...I've got to decide how to repurpose this old phone. It really was/is a great little device, thanks for continuing to show it love!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Russell_:
I followed the instructions above. I'm not sure about step 8 - "Once the device has rebooted back into TWRP recovery, goto mount then uncheck and recheck data.". I pressed Mount and touched "Data" so that the X disappeared and then touched it again so it reappeared. Did this a couple of times so that when I exited from Mount Data still had the X.

The flash of the ROM fails in the next step:

I've attached all the log I could capture.

I also searched this thread and noticed that when someone else had a similar problem it was recommended they reinstall TWRP 2.8.7.0. So, I reinstalled TWRP 2.8.7.0 from the "New TWRP recovery" link shown and then tried to reinstall cm-13.0-20151222. What you see in the log is my second attempt. Any pointers as to what I'm doing wrong will be very greatly appreciated.

Try this:

So if you are in official TWRP, try this:

Boot into recovery.

Wipe > Advanced Wipe

Check Internal Storage.

Repair or change filesystem

Change filesystem > F2FS (or EXT4, but I prefer F2FS, it is much better.)

Do the same for System.

Check Data, Cache and swipe.

Home > Reboot > Recovery

If any of the previous actions spit out an error at you, try it again now.

Install > Flash the repartitioned TWRP.

Home > Reboot > Recovery.

Flash the ROM, flash GApps. If you chose Stock/Super/Aroma + checked Google Keyboard, reboot. You should be good.

If you chose Aroma and didn't check Google Keyboard, or if you used the smaller packages, do this:

Home > Mount > Check System

Home > Advanced > File Manager

Navigate to /system/lib and look for libjni_latinimegoogle.so. Click it.

Select > Delete file > Swipe

Home > Reboot.

This ROM lets this device's usefulness skyrocket! :D

Yes, as you can see from down here, I just got a hand-me-down S3. I will keep testing things and using it, though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Russell_:
Firstly, thanks for responding. I've got a device with only the "new" TWRP and no ROM so I really appreciate suggestions! I've been following post #2 of this thread and I'm at step 9 of that. This is what I did:

From another non-virtual partitioned ROM:

1) Make sure you have the latest OFFICIAL TWRP installed.

2) Backup current ROM if desired

3) Back up EVERYTHING on your internal SD card to your computer (the internal SD card WILL BE ERASED in the next step).

4) In TWRP, go to Wipe -> Advanced Wipe -> check Internal Storage -> press on "Repair or Change File System" -> press on "Change File System" -> press on "EXT4", and then swipe to start formatting the internal SD card. This can take up to a minute.

5) Wipe Data, Cache and System.

6) Copy the newest version of my TWRP recovery to your device and flash it.

7) After that is finished, go back to the main menu, then go to Reboot and press on Recovery.

8) Once the device has rebooted back into TWRP recovery, goto mount then uncheck and recheck data.

9) Copy and flash the new ROM and your GApps package to your device and flash

So, I no longer have the official TWRP. Should I just flash the official TWRP from the newest TWRP or will the change in file system that I've done cause issues? I'm a noob, so I wont be insulted if you dumb down your response :).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Easy_as_Pi_3.14:
Well first, can you do this?

In TWRP, go to Mount > Check all partitions you can. Some check boxes won't work.

Home > Advanced > File Manager.

Click data, scroll up to .., then do the same for system, sdcard and cache. All should be empty except system, which should have all of these (plus some other stuff: bin, framework, app, priv-app, xbin, build.prop.)

Home > Terminal Command > Select > type this: mount >> /external_sd/mount.txt and press enter. Copy that to your computer and attach.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Russell_:
Thanks again for your response.

After my post yesterday I turned the phone off from TWRP. This morning I cannot get it to go into recovery. I press both volume buttons down and and then press the power button. The phone vibrates and SAMSUNG flashes briefly on the screen and then it goes dark. As long as I hold the power button down the sequence repeats. Previously SAMSUNG would not briefly flash but would stay on the screen, at which point I would release the power button and then when the screen went dark release the volume buttons to go into a screen from which I could select Volume up to go into TWRP. I just can't seem to do that any more.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Easy_as_Pi_3.14:
First, plug your phone into the official charger or a computer and let it charge. Try again.

If that doesn't work, try this:

Get a PC cable and your Rocket.

Plug the cable into the computer, but not into the Skyrocket yet.

Hold down both volume keys and plug in the cable. Hold down the volume keys until you see the disclaimer but don't press volume up.

Press Volume Down to reboot, quickly unplug and hold down both Volume keys until you see TWRP.

Does that work? If it still doesn't work, reflash official TWRP in Odin and repeat the repartition process.

By the way, is your Skyrocket a Canadian one? If it is, you only hold Power + Volume Down to get into recovery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Russell_:
The first three steps were fine. I didn't press Vol Up in step 3 so didn't get into "Download" mode. But Step 4 didn't work - no TWRP. I'll reflash official TWRP into Odin ... I presume once I've done that I go back to the process in post #2? If yes, can you tell me what this step achieves, "Once the device has rebooted back into TWRP recovery, goto mount then uncheck and recheck data." Guessing rechecking doesn't quite reverse whatever unchecking does?

My Skyrocket is an AT&T one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Easy_as_Pi_3.14:
So you said black screen, right? Did it vibrate every two seconds?

Yep.

Honestly, I don't know. I had a nightmare trying to repartition for AOSPA-L, and I didn't have it go smooth-sailing either, but l had a different issue. I think I got the flashing screen once but I believe I got by that via trying to boot the phone normally.

By the way, turn your phone off and plug it in to a computer/official charger and look at the charging screen (if you get one). Do you see a white battery with the percentage in the middle?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Russell_:
I Odined TWRP 2.8.6.0. I then got into recovery and followed your instructions above. At step# 8 (Home > Reboot > Recovery), I encounter the same problem as before where I can't get into Recovery mode any more. Yes, I do see the three reboot options in TWRP and I do select Recovery (instead of System or Power off) but I don't get into Recovery. To be sure of what I was seeing, I repeated the process ... once again Odined TWRP 2.8.6.0 and went through the same sequence with the same result.

---------- Post added at 03:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:09 PM ----------

Yes, as long as I hold all three keys down it vibrates every two seconds or so.

Phone off, plugged into an official charger. No charging screen present - completely dark screen.

At this point, I'm ready to call quits on this and just go back to anything usable! Should I be able to ODIN stock firmware from a tar.md5?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:
if phone is seen by pc then odin should work
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Russell_:
Thanks [MENTION=4057370]vincom[/MENTION]. Does this mean my changing the file system to ext4 on the various partitions does not impact my ability to Odin (say) stock 4.1.2? I had KIES_HOME_I727UCMC1_I727ATTMC1_844945_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5 installed (via ODIN) before I attempted the process in post #2. What would have been my previous file system (before I changed it as directed in post #2)?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:
afaik flashing stock via odin should repartition the file system back to normal but ive never used it for that purpose .

it should return a non functioning phone(but not if bricked) back to normal
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jondroid2:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Russell_:
Flashed stock with Odin and the phone is functional again. Still confused as to what I did "wrong" :(.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] zappa41:
Just read,read and read it again. Follow every instruction very carefully. In read it 4 times before I did it. 1st time was golden. Amazing rom!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Russell_:
Believe me I'm pretty anal about these things. I read it very carefully and attempted the whole process more than once before I posted. I was hoping that the log I posted would enable one of the more knowledgeable readers to point out what went wrong. I also was hoping someone could explain the meaning of step 8 (in post #2) "Once the device has rebooted back into TWRP recovery, goto mount then uncheck and recheck data.". Obviously it does something and perhaps I'm not doing it correctly. Is there some button one presses after one does this and before one goes to the next step (#9). By uncheck I take it to mean remove the X that appears in the box and by check I take to mean touch the box again so an X appears. Does that in itself make things happen under the covers?

Am I missing something?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] zappa41:
Idk if its my battery or doze isn't kicking in. My battery life is aweful. Update anytime soon?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Easy_as_Pi_3.14:
Show a screenshot of Settings > Battery and Settings > Battery > (tap on graph).

And remember that Doze only really works if you don't touch your phone or even move it for ~15-30 min. You will see a serious effect if you set it down on the table overnight, then look at the battery screen.

I think that a lot of the battery drain is from the radio trying to look for a better signal. On the top bar in the graph, do you notice steeper drain when the color is dull/red? And do you get longer battery if you take out your SIM card (notice that you won't get calls, texts, or data)? I got a noticeable difference because I have been using my S3 I just got (still trying to figure out how to root the thing...) and had my SIM in that. Putting it in the Skyrocket showed a significant increase in battery drain.

Also, using 3C, BetterBatteryStats, CPUSpy, or something, what frequency do you see the CPU in most? Ideally, you should see a lot of Deep Sleep, 192MHz, 984MHz and minimal above that unless you are in Performance mode or using your phone for something heavy on the CPU like playing a game, watching videos, or web browsing.

And turn auto brightness off, and put it at the lowest brightness possible. I always have it at min. brightness unless I am in direct sunlight, which is rare for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ronbot:
Easy-pi.... After reading your version of the detailed step-by-step a couple pages back, I'm left wondering if I did mine right... specifically the memory re-partitioning.

Is there a way to 'look' at it and see? It still runs, but gets horribly 'doggy' after a while... seriously so.

Any help on this?

So the attached shell script will create a log showing the mountpoints and the list of files on /data, /system, and /cache, but only at the first level (so not showing anything personal)

Download primary:vplog.txt

Go to Settings > Developer options at the bottom (if it is missing, go to Settings > About phone > click Build date several times until it says you are a developer.)

Again, if you haven't already, go to Developer options and Enable root access > Apps and ADB.

Scroll to Local terminal and select it if you haven't already.

Now go to the home screen and find Terminal in the app list. Click it, and accept any permissions it asks for.

Type su and hit enter.

Accept the Superuser dialog, checking "Remember".

Now type cd /sdcard/Download and hit enter.

Now type sh ./primary_vplog.txt and hit enter.

Now type exit hit enter, and do it again and Terminal will close.

Attach /sdcard/mountlog.txt in a post in the clumsy web editor, not using Tapatalk (Tapatalk can only post images).

[MENTION=2107489]bryan2894[/MENTION] I got a System UI crash when trying to turn on and open the WiFi quick settings because auto scanning is weird. I think I double-clicked the WiFi tile's lower half with perfect timing as it went away, so it crashed. I will post the logs later. It was an IndexOutOfBounds or ArrayIndexOutOfBounds, and it said position 0, size 0 if I recall.

Additionally, there is some weirdness involving clipping/alignment in the WiFi tile's SSID label. I saw WiFi aligned to the SSID and the SSID centered and clipped to WiFi's length. Also, I think this is related to the WiFi lock issue: Rarely when I turn off WiFi, I get the WiFi off icons, but with network activity indicators.

So far, from what I've compiled, the issues that eventually need to be fixed are:

No data on boot.

Occasional WiFi lock

No custom actions on the search key

Fix the weird battery life issue. Seems to be connected to the mobile radio because without the SIM card, there is a noticeable battery life improvement.

AOSP keyboard (attached is a hacky fix with the lib extracted from Google Keyboard flashable in TWRP. I think that this is not really the right/100% DCMA compliant way to do this, but I might replace it with a script that extracts it from an official APK automatically).

Bluetooth audio issues

WiFi not scanning/drops

SELinux eventually needs to be enforcing. Obviously, a few things need to be hammered out first.

Front facing camera is buggy

No mic during Hangouts Dialer calls.

I guess some Herc users are having issues with the Play Store on F2FS? Any Skyrocket users with issues?

OOM values too high?

I also have some feature requests:

Extra kernel features like Sultan's kernel such as screen undervolting or low power flashlight. Or at least some governors like Smartassv2, Intelliactive/Intellidemand or Interactive, and the missing Conservative governor. That would be great.

Efficient and Quick battery profiles.

Tweaking the radio so it isn't constantly looking for a better signal when you aren't right next to a tower.

The ability to hide status bar icons again, more of an upstream CM change.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] TomSmiley:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] zappa41:
Here is the max used
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Easy_as_Pi_3.14:
Try not using Chrome. Try using the stock browser. Chrome brought my Skyrocket to its knees. It used 700+ MB RAM in my usage. Disable/uninstall Chrome completely (use TiBu or one of its equivalents to keep your data). Using the stock browser (and switching from stock GApps to pico) brought lags/freezes to a minimal.

Also, Trebuchet is lighter than Nova. Have you given it a chance?

Last, have you ever tried changing your DPI to 200? (Edit build.prop, save, then in settings> display, choose the same value.) Instead of Android thinking it is a 3.89" screen, it thinks it is a 4.66" one. It will also give you more room for the navbar. :)
