The "all-in-one-location" XDA Skyrocket General Info/Root Method/Kernel/ROM Thread!
Welcome all SGSII-Skyrocket owners (and anyone else)!
My purpose is to help organize some general info, root methods, kernels, and (constantly updated) ROMs into one thread with links. I do not take credit for ANY work posted in this thread as they should be given to their respective creators (and porters). Also, I am not responsible for any action(s)/damages you take that are from flashing or changing your device from the way you received it when it was purchased. So basically what you do with the information you find here is on YOU!
I hope that ALL questions and requests related to linked content will be posted in the appropriately linked thread(s). Hopefully, we can keep this organized and easy to read and update. Any dates are in a "MM.DD" format and are derived from the most recent date the OP of each thread was updated (in a subtle attempt to continue having devs update their OP any time they update their creations...though our devs seem to be cooler and smarter than the rest IMO ).
[General Information]
(Here will be info and links to info that can be considered useful to all users of the Skyrocket whether they decide to root/rom their devices or not.)
NEW: AGPS Patch Galaxy S II 3.1 & 2.2 | GET BACK TO RAPID GPS LOCK, CAN LOCK MORE SATS A few members are reporting great results with this. Please read directions fully on the subject thread!
All in One guide This is a great thread by AppDroid (thanks!) with multiple posts on different subjects (terms, flashing, rooting, etc) if you're new to customizing your phone I suggest you give it a look.

[Rooting Methods]
(This section will link to known and WORKING ways to root your Skyrocket.)
ROOT | CWM | ODIN | SGH-I727 and SGH-I727R Skyrocket ...This is the method I used to root my Skyrocket.
ROOT [ACS] Skyrocket Easy Root - Windows/Mac/Linux
SuperOneClick v2.3.1 (using zergRush) ...a "SUPER" easy way to root (thanks kornklown69 for bringing this up!)
S2 Root v1.5.1 - One Click Root and UnRoot solution for ALL SAMSUNG Devices Was posted in the SGSII forum but says it's for all Samsung androids...the reason I posted this one is because it's supposed to be able to unroot, please post below if you have successfully got this to work! Thanks!
[Kernels]
(This will link to any kernels that are created/being worked on for the Skyrocket.)

[Radios/baseband]
By a valid request this section includes links to radios for the Skyrocket. Since the homie twopumpchump has made a thread dedicated to this I will link to that thread.
Skyrocket Radio Thread maintained by TwoPumpChump
[ROMs]
(With our Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket gaining more attention and ownership, I expect our current developers...THANK YOU!!!!...to gain some new developers that will add to the growing list of available ROMs. There are other ROMs out there (not many) but I didn't want to post links to other forum sites. So instead, I will say this is not a complete list of available ROMs but it is all of them available on the XDA Developers SGSII Skyrocket Forums. NO links will go directly to the downloads, instead they will link to the threads. This will hopefully force people to see any instructions and warnings that are related to those ROMs directly from their creators.)
dsixda's Android Kitchen - Now supports SGS2 Skyrocket! Thanks to dsixda!!! This is a guide for understanding and assisting building ROMs.
MiUI Rom thread OP clearly states that this is a work in progress...only here for us to keep track of it's development

I'm still working on this but will be open to suggestions on how to keep this organized and up-to-date (eventually I'll streamline it down a bit and remove my side comments). PLEASE try and keep comments in this thread related to making it better, helping me/us keep it updated, and also links to any findings that aren't included. Finally, anyone who either wishes to have their content posted here, updated, or removed from here please PM me and I'll do my best to get it sorted out. Thanks!

This is a good idea and thanks... but it doesn't belong in the Development section.

Thanks for your input. Where do you think it should be? All the linked threads (besides one) are located within the Development section so imo a compilation (or index if you will) should be in the dev section too and at the top. Also, this isn't the first thread of it's kind. I'm sure you've seen a thread like this in each of the dev forums just to bring some kind of organization to the many roms and dev related convos/discussions.
If there is a better place for it to be then run it by the Moderators and see what they think.

Have a good weekend!
Thank you for starting this. I think this does belong in the Development forum and should be stickied once it gets where it needs to be.
Anywho, my suggestion is to add a section for CWM-flashable modems. There are only a couple of baseband versions out now but I'm sure that as time goes on and more updates/leaks come out that people will want the ability to use the one they want with whatever rom.
Ok I'll take a look for the threads when I get off work and add them ...or you could be a pal and PM me the links so I can add them easily. Thanks for your help and opinion!
I will keep this in the development section. Looks like some useful information pertaining to development. Guides are allowed if they are kept up to date

Should we organize the roms by date updated (most recent placed at top of that section) or should we organize it by ciq/no ciq? I'm currently leaning towards by date but it's a valid question.

So is this only for 2.3.5? I want to make that clear up above since the original thread doesn't list our device (yet, I PM'd) or what it is working on.

just saying...
Seen these threads made before (i.e. GSII i-9100) and the usual rules of [Dev] section is "If you didn't build it yourself, it doesn't belong in the Dev section." Since this is more a [Ref]erence... then....
but its always up to the moderator.
Either way, this is a useful thread
Lets keep this one here, it will hopefully stop some usual questions and give some answers
Yeah I got u cue, I really wanted to plan ahead for this forum and help out the Mods to keep it structured.
Again, if you see anything I can add to this please post or pm me. Also, maybe a message to some of the devs that haven't posted their roms here might be good idea to encourage them to create a thread here on XDA and show that we're being pretty pro-active on making the most out of our awesome device. Thoughts on that?
Please put in chronological order from most recently updated to oldest updated.

I thought the dates after each one would be enough considering the way us programmers are. A dev could revise a rom multiple times in one day, and I go off the date the OP is updated. But, if y'all really want that then um...ok. Anyone else agree with Dan?
Good thing. Maybe you can add links for stock kernel and rom for both Roger and AT&T.
thanks
Can anyone shed a light over the usefulness of these sources and stuff? I read people still talking about backporting 3.0 kernel features to 2.6. Don't we have a 3.0 kernel now for the TI omap from the optimus black? What are the main differences in the rom to just have it running on the i9003? Different partitions?

I know what you mean. But it's a question which is going to get a response and start a discussion. That's why it should be in the General forum.
Cheers.
I customized some Android ROMs, but do not know how to release my rom on XDA.?
Could anybody tell me where to put my ROM? Thanks a lot.

Find the forum for your device then post your work in a thread in the Android Development section if you've used things from other devs or the Original Android Development section if you've built the ROM entirely yourself. Note however that if you only 'customised' some ROMs (as you said in your post) then you shouldn't be posting any work at all without contacting the original dev and getting their permission (and, to be honest, probably shouldn't really release the work at all IMO).
So I'm thinking of getting this phone in the future but I can't decide between the i9500 model and i9505.
Now, I'm not asking hardware-wise, I know the difference between the Octa and Snapdragon. I'm asking in terms of community support. Which one of these models get more developer support and faster/more stable/better ROMs and Kernels and.....stuffs?
I9505
And easier for development

I have already successfully rooted and flashed recoveries, radios and ROMs on 4 different Android phones before. You can't really tell how much a model is supported by just looking at the appropriate sub-forums, since even for 2 year old device as Desire there's still replies on threads, but not from devs but confused new users. Or there are very low-quality re-pack ROM devs.

So iv'e recently been working on a custom version of CM-11.0, and was wondering where the appropriate place to ask for testers is? I figured id ask here and get a honest answer, then get a million people telling me that i posted in the wrong area.

Android Development is for users/devs "re-works" of Stable ROMs; I would assume this is mostly for Nightly's and not too many fully stable ROMs. Original Android Development is for original ROM devs to post stable releases. I was confused with this at first as well, however after digging I've found both in both places. I would recommend you post it in Android Development as well.
