Hey guys i recently purchased a skyrocket and I do indeed plan on rooting it. I have a few questions about the phone though. Is there any special apps just for the skyrocket. Also what cool things can I do without a root? Im comming from and iPhone 4s so please excuse me if the questions sound a little silly.
define "cool things"....different for a lot of people.
you don't need root to make your phone look cool. There are tons of apps that can change the look of your phone without ever needing root.
Here's my phone

The wallpaper is one of my own....I have a thread in Themes where I post all my Custom wallpapers.
There are literally thousands of ways to make your phone unique..
If all you want is to change the LOOK of your phone.....then theres no need to root.
do what the Man ( Mortem ) above said and check out those apps.
There really isn't anything good that can come from rooting you're skyrocket. All the roms for it are very unstable. The only things you could add are maybe battery percentage meters at the status bar and a few very minor mods but the phone is to new you wont really enjoy anything from rooting it.
Well rooting for me is always a given... as i like certain fonts, and adblock... but atm stock rooted on my skyrocket has been a wonderful exp.. where as prev phones stock roms have most always sucked.. Plus if I feel the need to theme or change etc I have my atrix to toy with.. the skyrocket is my work/daily driver,

THIS WHOLE STATEMENT IS BS...........
there ARE stable Roms for our phone, there is an unstable Kernel that may require patches to run right. but you can always run the stock/stockish kernels. Red Sonja is my Daily and is VERRRY stable for a beta. the Rockateer Rom is also stable along with TCPs and Quickwiz. maybe i dont know your idea of stable.
the CM7 rom has bugs and is unstable....but even that RUNS stable if you set it up RIGHT<<<< right being the key here.
anyway, that **** rubs me the wrong way.....
Your statement is your Opinion and it SUCKS. (that my op)

Pac all in one true 4.1.2 is very stable. No, problems. That statement was absolutely false. Rooting just gives you control . But you can change visual without it. See Google

I big to differ. I can name at least 6 roms here that are 99.9% stable. This is the first post I ever took offense to. Why are you on xda again???
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
I don't agree with the tone, but I do agree that there are many stable roms. Do you're homework before rooting or using a custom Rom and you'll be happy. The cm10's are faster, smoother, and better battery life than ics. The other jb roms are just as good. Just make sure you get a rom that is specific to your device or you will create a brick. All Sll's are not the same.

Haha are you guys serious right now? Arguing with a guy who's not even in the same time period as you. Do you even look at post dates? Did you not see discussion of CM7 before you started tossing around CM10?
Regardless, reading this did take me back. My first skyrocket ROM was made by PirateGhost. Red Sonja was queen of the skyrocket back then. And now Doc's back after a long hiatus with AoCP. And Mortem used to provide some great theme work. Now that's the skyrocket forum I miss. When the biggest issue was getting vibration to work on Red Sonja. Not the countless number of repeat questions and the lack of search skills.

Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Not here to flame at all.. I see some major differences in yours and evokings rom but.. The only question I have.. and you say he helps you out alot.. Where is the thanks to him? I would think at least on this rom that his name would be first in the list of Kudos. I've been enjoying his work for many months now and I knew the second I saw the title it had to have something to do with his rom "out of this world' but no thanks (unless his name tmartin.. ) lol . Anyways.. Nice looking rom. I like the changes you've made. I've just at times felt I could do what your doing.. Taking little pieces of stuff and meshing them together to make your own custom rom. Yet I haven't and you have and for that great job And for your age that's amazing considering most kids are just playing video games and being lazy.
This thread just started and it's already headed in the wrong direction.
OP, you clearly put in the time and effort to customize this rom to your liking and thank you for sharing.
Guys...seriously. Hold off on the trolling for just once. Re-read the OP and use some sense.
My bad totally.. I did not see the 2nd thanks for the other parts besides the base. I apologize! I again did not in anyway want to take away from him as I admire him and have a lazy 15 year old I wish would use her time in a fashion as this young man has. King just seemed obviously upset so i assumed it was because of lack of thanks. I am completely wrong though and again am sorry.

Heh if only we could get a kernel. Sadly there will not be one until sammy releases an offical GB which I hear could be happening beginning next year. When it comes to placing blame its not so much Samsung at fault here. I mean there seems to be a new leak at least once a week here so its not like they aren't working on it. If fault should be placed anywhere its with Tmobile who pretty much doesn't give a fck if you have GB on your phone. They've pretty much taken the, if its not broke don't update it approach.
Well at least he didn't swear at the devs this time.

Thats what I've been wondering actually.
I've only had an android since like march, rooted it within a couple months just so I could delete bloatware, but only really got into flashing and stuff about a month ago. So what's so great about miui that everyone keeps bringing it up? Surely it can't really be any better than whats already available to us.
@scoop_dtx, @95Z28
AFAIK its a ROM that gets official with the MIUI people and receives OTA updates each times a new version is available. Just like CM7. I think.

Yeah, supposedly, it's on par with CM7 now.
As someone who has been running MIUI since April, there are many advantages to using MIUI over other AOSP ROM's.
First, I love the fact that it gets updated weekly. Having to flash nightlies like with CM7 can be a hassle. Once a week works perfect for me and they are constantly making it better and the user interface just works.
Second, look @ this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=990233 There are a few thousand posts to look through to see how you can customize MIUI. You can literally customize every single aspect of the ROM to your liking and I wouldn't want to have my phone any other way.
MIUI has been my daily driver for the better part of the last year and I don't plan on looking back unless something else truly mindblowing comes along.

Ha, sorry guys, didn't mean to make a big deal about the stars. I'm a teacher and probably a life-long student, so feedback is something I really value. To be honest, though, this is just a project I'm working on for fun while I have some time on summer vacation. I'm not too concerned if people like it so far or not - just thought it was funny that people were already rating it. Four stars ain't too bad, though. As just the base right now, the parts that I've worked on are only at about two stars in my book.

Agreed that its meaningless, but i feel that if your going to use the meaningless feature, you should atleast flash the ROM before doing so as i am sure that there are atleast a few people that take the star ranking system into consideration when searching for a ROM. Just my 2 cents.
Teacher here as well. Enjoy your summer. Relax and tinker away. We are here to support you.

I've been loving the leak of ICS on my Atrix 2 (MB865) and while I think Motorola has done great with the OS so far, I truly think they did a remarkable job with the user interface on the newly released Atrix HD. So with a little idle time on my hands, I set out trying to transform the Atrix 2's UI into that of the HD's, and I'm happy to say that I'm super excited with the results at the moment. Here're some pics of my progress...

I think the onscreen buttons along with the non-removable Google search bar are a blatant waste of valuable screen real estate, so no... the buttons will not be included .

For the weather widget to work properly, you must push the AHD's weather app to your system---app folder and set its permission to rw--r--r. A backup of your stock weather.apk is also necessary. Restart after you're done and it should work.

Indeed. Since we've got the buttons, might as well use them.
The problem with onscreen buttons is that manufacturers haven't reduced the bezel size to compensate. This is very apparent on the atrix hd, especially with that AT&T logo placement.
Aside from that, the new stock experience looks pretty decent. Thanks for your efforts porting it over.

Super apparent in the AHD since I've seen people hitting the AT&T logo thinking it's a home button
I just implemented the Jelly Bean (JB) animation framework into the mod and though it works flawlessly, I just don't know... Is it me, or do the JB animations seem a bit overdone The ICS animations just seem more subtle and professional.
Can someone post the stock weather app? I accidentally uninstalled it without making a backup of it first.
Theres a widget in the market called rings digital weather that looks exactly like the HD widget pictured. Weather works fine with it.
How did you do the live icons? My RAZR maxx is feeling left out

Hello everyone, I'm just curious as to what everyone would like!
Example ( Roms, Graphics, Themes, Wallpapers etc.)
That is truly why I joined xda, to do things for others not do for myself.
Edit: If you would like a custom theme or wallpaper pm me with your rom and the details of what you would like... thx
So please take a minute to leave a reply with what you want!!
lol no JB request please (lol it will come I'm positive.)
Thanks,

I don't think that's possible out of the 3.5 mm Jack or even the micro usb.

I think this device is lacking roms/kernels (not to sound ungrateful, the developers here do an excellent job). It would be great if we had more options. Kernels with better battery life, and fixing the soft key back light issue

Themes and wallpapers would be nice, but I think that getting better performance for our device should come first. I feel like a **** telling you what to develop its almost as bad as asking for ETAs haha. Take them as suggestions

The main things I thought this phone was missing on ics was battery life and wifi signal

A nice galaxy s2 or s3 style gb rom would be cool. Have features like all the lock screens, and power menus, and tweaks but without any rediculous theming you know? I love the stock look, whether its aosp or twiz. I'm still on gb since I can't deal with Ics battery drain and until the battery life improves I can live with GB.

LOL...what i meant by that is....not in a bad way nor a negative way....but more of a funny interesting....something that is sure to bring on a few laughs
Lets not jump to conclusions.
If you infact think your gonna go into every frameworkres.apk, twframework.res and system.apk for all the froyo and gb roms to theme it for every body that asks? good luck to you!!
And even more luck for the ics roms lol.
not beein negative....but i dont think you know what your askin for.
For people complaining about battery life on ICS... I'm not quite understanding how after the tweaking period, you're getting particularly bad run times. I was getting 18+ hours on AOKP M6B3 with 2 hours of screen on time and 4G the whole time.
