Hi just got a SGS2SR for 149 upgrade price.
will be here today or tomorrow.
What is the rom everybody is running?
Is there a unlock for it?
BTW What case is everybody rocking for the skyrocket?
I flash something different every week but always come back to Skyicecream and Skyrocketeer. You can find root instructions in the development section.
I bought this case http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00687VCRO/ref=mp_s_a_2?qid=1325347009&sr=8-2
It's very thin and dosnt change the feel of the phone. Best of all it has raised edges so if you drop it on a flat surface nothing will touch the screen, perfect for people who hate screen protectors.

TPC V3 is a great rom. Very stable.if you're looking for belt holster check the surface combo case + holster from seidio.

Rooting depends on which version of android your skyrocket has. Tye on click will work 2.3.5 you need to use the odin method if your on 2.3.6 , and for a network unlock you need to go to

I have used superoneclick to root multiple times successfully and painlessly. The roms posted in the dev section all have their own merits...sky ice cream sandwich is my current fav, mostly because I'm a big fan of the ICS theme.
I prefer sky ice cream sandwich. Bln works great and very stable.

hey thats actually one of the few cases that aren't awful
I've flashed every rom and keep going back to BeastMod (tmobile rom). Flash your stock kernel (at&t/rogers) and push the touchwiz30 apk from our device (much smoother for some reason) and you have an awesome rom. Again to each their own this is just my 0.02
I'm starting to hear negative things about the development of this phone. Like it's the odd-ball of the GS2 family, and won't be developed on too much....
You have no idea what your talking about theres a ton of development going on

Yea a little due to the diff chipset which we need for LTE data. But on the other hand its the same as the T-mobile version and the Telus Hercules.(minus lte). So in some ways we have like 4 different phones that are one. If you count the skyrocket/gs2 lte (rogers) versions. I was a little worried at first too but I use the Tmobile section for roms more than this thread and they have a few good devs. Together it feels pretty solid. Also its pretty new too. I just really want ICS already and then I really couldnt care less lol

Hey guys I recently got an infuse from a buddy. Its never been rooted or anything, I came from the inspire where I noticed there was a lot more activity with ROMs, skins,etc... I'm wondering if this phone doesn't have as much interest or its harder to do things with? Ik nothing of the programming that goes into these things...just wondering if there will be more to come or if it is what it is?

I also came from the inspire. The ROM activity here is nothing compared to the that phones development. HTC phones will always be superior with development and thats just the way it is. Partly because of the strong following of HTC Sense.

Yes there will be more to come. From what I've read, the dev's are waiting for Att to release gingerbread.
If you look in the dev section you'll find lots to play with.

Very good point. I remember the Inspire forums before the official GB builds came out. There was nothing happening and many people thought it was the start of a downhill path to the end of development for that phone. How wrong they were! Turned out all the devs didn't want to put in a lot of time to another build if GB was on the horizon. As soon as it hit, it was madness with all the new ROMs coming out. Hopefully the same happens here.
Cool I hope it all starts up soon... I will keep my eyes on the dev sections to see what comes up...fingers crossed

Me too. Its a tough call between Samsung and HTC though. Samsung has always had fantastic hardware and specs, HTC has always had fantastic software and vast dev community. Take your pick...
Sent from my Samsung Infuse
Yeah. Pretty much what happened was:
Things slowed down as we all waited for Rogers Gingerbread, as few people wanted to put significant efforts into Froyo. A few (like Bedwa and myself) did so more as a learning experience. The lull gave some of us time to learn and play.
Then Rogers GB came out - there was a heavy flurry of development for a few weeks, including trying to correct the deficiencies of the Rogers Gingerbread release. Correcting some of these deficiencies seemed to be nearly impossible - after multiple attempts, HDMI was hosed, data speeds were crap, and camera performance was blah.
There was also all the *****ing people did at gtg over the data speeds issue which made a lot of devs nervous about posting stuff here. Nopcodex90 almost released a GB ROM but after seeing how many people complained about fundamental uncorrectable problems with Rogers GB, I believe he decided to hold off until AT&T released Gingerbread.
So people started getting frustrated with basing anything on the Rogers release, and we all decided to take a break and have some beers rather than bash our heads against the wall for little return. On top of that LinuxBozo had some stuff come up in RL for a few weeks, and similarly I had the following chain of events make me fall behind on phone hacking:
1) Family visiting for Labor Day
2) Epic flooding (4-6 feet above previous record) where I live - I was living at a friend's 40 minutes away for a few days, then no power for a few more, and no hot water for nearly a week.
3) Nasty sinus infection - I'm just recovering from this now.
Also, thanks to Hellrasier, A LOT of new ROMs have opened up to the infuse. So check out the android development for the Samsung i9000. I've played around with a few and they work really well.
After Gingerbread is officially released more will pick up for the Infuse specifically but until then it's fun to try some of the 10-15 that the i9000 give us.
Will the I9000 ROMs work seamless with our phones?

Hellraiser isn't quite seamless - there are known issues with it such as no audio on the first call without toggling speaker on/off, and all of the typical Rogers Gingerbread warts.
The other known Hellraiser issue consistent across many ROMs is that if the ROM has a "battery fully charged" notification, this notification will stick until the device is rebooted. Does not affect ROMs that nuke the notification in the first place such as Mikey's S7.
But so far nearly all I9000 ROMs work equally well with Hellraiser.
What is Hellraiser? As u can see im on my infuse from Rogers which must be what the I997R stands for.
Can I use this Hellraiser thing on my Rogers infuse?
Please advise...

Unofficially probably. No way is our outdated phone going to see an official build. It changes to much of the phone and how it looks.

I think we will get GB and then we are done. When this happens is when you need to buy a new phone.
I'd be happy with official GB right now. ICS seems highly unlikely.
I wouldnt hold my breath officially, but our awesome developers here are sure give us some ice cream lovin. Probably before we get official GB lol
Isn't google directly giving us ICS.

They give you a stock build of it yes. But you need drivers, a kernel and suck to make it work with out hardware.
All of which we don't even have for gingerbread correctly let alone ics.

any one want to buy my sgs4g
actually, they are giving a fully functional universal build.
No and Im not sure why people even think we will get an unofficial version, didnt we only get a ghetto version of Gingerbread after an official Samsung leak? Why on earth would Samsung even attempt to make an ICS version for this phone? They need to actually make something to leak it, which is pretty much impossible given Samsungs business model.

I see a lot of good ported ROMs for Galaxy S i9000 using the AOSP 4.0.3. Even tried them and they are very good and very few bugs.
Anyone planning to start porting some of this stuff for Infuse users?
I am currently using THIS one on my SGS but will soon be getting an unlocked Infuse and wonder if this stuff can be ported for Infuse users.

So what's the problem bringing ICS to the Infuse? I have a Captivate, which I didn't think was really much different from the Infuse, and I have several ICS choices currently. My wife has the Infuse and she's getting jealous that I can have ICS and she can't!
The Captivate is a much more popular device. Even though it is much older is has a larger development community. Even Samsung bothered to keep that device up to date for a while. I know somebody who got the Captivate on 2.1. Since then she got OTA updates for 2.2 and then for 2.3. Unfortunately for us Infuse owners, we are like the red-headed step brother to the SG2 so we get no love
