Do you wish that your soft keys would stay lit up a bit longer? Is three seconds just not enough for you? Well, your wait is over.
With the help of wasupwithuman from the Fascinate forum, I was able to port his mod to the Mesmerize and the Showcase. He is the creator of this for the Fascinate, so all credit goes to him. The original thread is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826278
I have made three versions so you have a choice of how long your soft keys will stay lit. There is a 10sec, 20sec, and 32sec version for both phones. You may ask why I used 32 seconds. It's because wasupwithuman has already done the discovery process and found out that this is the maximum time that you can put in and the mod work.
Download the one you want and put it on your sdcard (or get all three so you have them).
Make a backup. This changes part of your framework, so if something goes wrong, you'll want a way out. I am not responsible for what you do to your phone.
Flash the zip from recovery.
Wipe Dalvik.
Reboot.
---I should also mention, I do not have a Showcase. So far reports are good, though.
I have also added Undo.zips for both phones just in case you want to flash back.
good work there phidelt82... I've been using a utility called KeepTheLightsOn off the market, it just keeps the back lights on the whole time your screen is on...

Thanks. I had several people asking me for this, and since I needed to learn to work in the jar files anyway I figured I'd give it a shot. I also didn't know about that app. That would definitely be good for people who wanted something longer than the 32 seconds that this can do or didn't want to mess with their framework any more than they had to.
Works great on the showcase. Thought I had a boot loop at first but it booted after a while. Thank you for working on the showcase you're doing great.

This works great on my phone (voodoo kernel with superclean rom). I have the 10 sec version installed and working like a charm.
Tried the 20 sec version on a friend's Mez and it doesn't seem to do anything. Voodoo kernel, stock rom. Installed it from zip, wiped dalvik...no 20 sec backlight. Tried it twice now.
Is there some dependency I'm missing?

That's very odd. All three work on my phone. What makes it even more odd is that you are are able to get it working on your phone, and moving the same file to her phone to use it, and it doesn't work on her phone. You are doing everything correctly, it just doesn't seem to be getting there.
Does the reboot take an extra long time? 2-3 minutes with a lag between the sound and boot animation.

OK, good. Boot time should be longer. I'm just really curious as to why the isn't working. Is she running a ROM? Also, are you running a ROM? If there is a difference there, it could explain it. All of the ROMs available right now are fully deodexed, and so is this bit of framework. If her framework isn't, then that might be the problem, but I can't say for sure.

Good work on the mod Glad you got it working.
As for it not working... This mod will not work if your not deodexed. So if she is on stock then that is why it is a no go.

A switch to the PnP ROM will take care of it and she can keep the stock look if she wants.

CM didn't work for me. This is my first non-Moment ROM so I'm sure it's me.
I flashed CM from recovery. It said it completed fine. Selected reboot and got the CM boot screen. Got excited. Got less excited when the boot animation restarted on my. It then kept restarting until I pulled the battery.
So booted into recovery and cleared Dalvik. Rebooted. Same thing. Tried reflashing CM and cleared Dalvik then rebooted. Same thing.
Should I do a factory reset first? Can anyone see a step I missed?

Everyone has that problem. Try out the rogue 1.4.3 rana kernel. That might improve your boot times.

Really? They have the SQL vacuum and dalvik cleaner on every boot? That is so pointless. Going to have to remember that once theam EOS puts out their official ICS ROM.

Dang.. tried this as I have INSANE slow boot times.. but it didn't seem to help. Though I didn't seem to have the SQL one.
Boot time just now.. was 17 minutes!!! Counting from the moment the boot animation starts, till the launcher home screen shows up. So actually longer.. going from off to usable. It seems to get longer every time. Last time I timed it, months back. It was about 6 minutes.
Is there something else I can check on??

It was so long ago that I had stock anything on my Xoom that I never timed it. Haha It booted faster than the SGS Captivate I used at that time, I specifically remember commenting on that when I first got it.
How much space do you have left on system storage and your sd card. Whats the transfer rate?
Hey all !
I've bought a Samsung Galaxy S2 from Rogers, here in Canada. The model on the box clearly states SGH-I727R. I've managed to get it rooted and I've installed Sky-ICS 7.04 custom ROM on it. Everything went fine but I'm having a small issue.
The 4G signal keeps dropping. I can call just fine but about 10-15 seconds after the call ends, 4G drops and I can't use data anymore.
Everytime I want to use the Internet, I have to make a call first then I can use it but as soon as my phone goes on sleep mode, 4G shuts down and I've got to do it all over again. I've tried calling Rogers Tech support but they told me I'm registered on the network and that I should normally be having signal.
I'm pretty sure this is a newbie question but I'm new to Android and I haven't found much help by searching the forums so far.
Edit : The "Turn on Plane Mode" thingy doesn't work at all. Also, Rogers Tech suggested to manually search for a carrier and select Rogers but that didn't change a thing. Also, selecting Automatic Mode doesn't do a thing.
search for forums for the darkside script, and the ucla3 modem. reboot into cwm amd under mounts and storage format cache, data and system. Then flash darkside. Then ucla3. Then skyics. Reboot and let phone sit for 20 min, then reboot again. report back to us :-D
Been a couple hours now and it's still up and running. I'll post results tomorrow morning.
Thanks a lot :-D
I'm guessing my instructions worked then. Hit that thanx button bro ;-)

I let my phone recharge overnight. When I woke up this morning, it wasn't working. Rebooted, still wouldn't work. I had no use for it so I let it sit on my desk till I got to work. As we speak, it appears to be working. It seems intermitent but it works twice as often now O.O
What I did :
- Flashed DarkScript
- Flashed UCLA3 Modem (How come is that file like 350mb?)
- Flashed Sky-ICS Speed 7.0
- Applied Sky-ICS 7.04 Update
Anything else I've missed ? I've seen another post where someone explained the same thing but with UCLA3 Kernel + Faux Kernel. Should I try that ?
ur flashing a ucla3 rom lol, the radio is only 20 mb. Ur flashing a rom ontop of another rom, no wonder its not working

I dunno, I did a search on the forum for UCLA3 modem. Ended up with that file, which is weird because I was expecting a smaller file too. Do you happen to have a link to that file ?

Nope. Still no luck. Flashed DarkScript, flashed UCLA3 Radio then Sky-ICS 7.0 and 4G still drops randomly.
Not sure what's left to do at this point ...
This seems a very useful topic (at least to me )
So what is the sequence of flashing? :
1. ROM
2. script
3. radio
Do we have to wipe the data every time we flash each of those
Are you doing the wipes that were suggested?
After all this flashing and running different stuff you've probably got loads of crap in your caches.
I believe the order is
1. Script
2. ROM
3. Radio
but I did Script, Radio THEN ROM, which I believe is incorrect, unless I am mistaken

Reinstalled Stock Rogers ROM. Did all previous steps. Tried to flash custom Boot Animation instead of TPC V3 animation (Yeah, I switched from Sky-ICS to TPC as I thought I'd check if it is ROM-related...). Phone was stuck on Boot logo for a good 15 minutes. Pulled battery, re-flashed using Odin + Stock ROM. BSOD while flashing.
Go Windows !
I'm re-flashing using Odin.
I'll keep this thread up-to-date as much as possible.

This makes 2 times I have gotten virus from media fire last time I was able to restore to an earlier backup this time computer wouldn't let me boot into recovery or anything after much trouble I got it to boot into safe mode only because I have recovery disks that came with PC but have not been able to repair it complelty yet because if I try to restore it ends with an error about system contains some file ( idont remember name) so if I can't figure it out I guess I will backup important files and do a complete restore from factory disks ( last resort ) . Just a warning . If anybody has any answers and or ways to prevent this please PM me. Hopefully this won't happen to anyone else
Sorry for highjacking thread I know this is off subject but don't want anyone else to become a victim!!
Link worked fine when downloaded from phone but I have no way to modify zip or use adb to make JB boot
Sorry to kfazz for this post I know its not his fault I found many people with same problem with a Google search
Keep up the great work kfazz you are the best!!

I have 3 loops at the "M" screen each time before it moves on to the android screen and finishes the boot even with gps.sholes.so removed

Similar problems, but mine's randomly deciding to boot up or not. Sometimes it doesn't boot at all, other times it boots on the first try.
However since the Camera, Wifi, and other Jelly Bean goodness works, I can't help but to thank you on this release, Good luck on further development!
EDIT: And now it won't even boot, sometimes it just gets stuck at a blank screen. Bummer.

i couldn't get the newest to boot either, just loops at the M.
i poked into the .zip and the gps file is gps.goldfish.so, not sure if that's relevant...

i finally got it working i downloaded the new one but for some reason mediafire didnt download the full rom so had to redownload
I can't get it to boot up. I end up with red M bootloops with both the 8/24 and 8/26 builds. I wiped everything between flashes. Any ideas?
Flashed over 7/12 ics build seems as good as ics was don't think I will be going back to ics. Gallery opens but never shows any pics fm radio is nice only plays in mono other than that everything else I have tested is working correctly great work as usual
Thanks to all who are making this possible

Rooted fine a SII SGH-i727 samsung AT&T Skyrocket. I edited in-place the file to remove the reference for the phone model (prev. error on installation). Next repacked the zip with changes to the file. All looked good.
Copied files to SD card, rebooted holding vol/power. Able to browse using vol. keys to wipe data/rom, then install zip from SD. Waited a couple min. after no errors presented. Next updated the Google Play installer, waited again a couple just in case.
Turned off, then on, sits on CyanogenMod spinning circle forever and a day. Originally 25 min., then said OK, WTH?
Rebooted again, holding power down, then on, same just sitting there issue.
OK.... Repeated procedure again, wipe, this time did the davik and cache wipe, then installed zip, then Google. Reboot, STILL sits there on spinning circle for boot.
I don't get it. Several posts on this, but I redo, and get same results - insanity is setting in... Please advise, someone
I have my own computer repair business, but not as versed in Android/phones, at least to the OS/ROM level.

I'm using the clockworkmod, v5.0.2.6, Gapps 4.2.2, and CM-10.1.2-skyrocket.zip
Make sure you have twrp 2.5 or 2.6 (ditch cwm , it's buggy for JB and modern roms)
Make sure you're radio is JB friendly i.e. UCMC1 or UXUMA7
Copy cm10 zip and google apps zips to your sd,int or ext doesn't matter
Reboot to recovery
Wipe system,data,cache,dalvik,preload,android secure (do twice,doesn't hurt and maybe better)
Install(flash) cm10.1.2
Install(flash) Google apps
Reboot system
Notes:
1.Search , as this (and related issues) been discussed Gazillion times
2.Do exactly as above
3.Be specific when describing problems , your post is like an app log !
4.There's a dedicated cm10 thread in general forum..

WOW, THANK YOU!
It was the ther ROM writer that was the helper, TWRP! Didn't think that pgm was compatible with my phone, but found that it was, and it did the trick! Now I can go to bed, thanks again :highfive:

Now reboots on phone calls!
OK, great, now it's working, but it reboots on making an outgoing phone call. Isn't the phone functionality the most important part?

No one else is reporting this. It's user error. Start over and follow the instructions.

Found that it reboots while Google Voice is installed --- and activated to make calls using GV.
If I turn off that feature in GV, the call will attempt to go through, no reboots. Enable making all calls through GV, phone reboots!

Yeah, thanks for that helpful hint --- read my other reply about this topic. :cyclops:
Found that it is the Google Voice App, when enabled on all calls, it reboots. Just found out now that when it's set to ASK, and I attempt to make a call, the call went through, without rebooting.
