hey my SR cousins
raverx3x has released his CWM ICS AOSP ROM which appears to have most things working over on the t989 side, check the development section.
ICS 4.0.3
Based off 4.0.3 Google source
Kanged in some Diff From skyrocket ICS leak
wi fi working
Video working
Full AOSP NO I MEAN 0 NATA ZILCH TOUCH WIZ
Stock Skyrocket ICS kernel
Rooted
Swipe able notification
Tethering without need for apps
Much Much More
~ from his thread
This should be useful for the Roger users
and other developers who might want to check some things out.
don't shoot the messenger, just thought you guys might want to check it out
EDIT: btw, I'm not 100% sure if this would completely work for you guys, just a notification for you guys to check it out lol.
edit2: looks like a couple things broke when he was fixing other things
No sound
No data for t-mobile but apparently it worked for at&t?
wifi worked though lol
It's out now. If we flash it, is it going to change the modem firmware?

#1 This isn't based off the SkyRocket ICS leak, it's AOSP. He used some .ril & .lib from the leak to get it running. Huge difference.
#2 Most things are not working, this isn't even a proper release yet, it's an RC.
Data, Audio, Rotation, and many other still need to be worked out.
#3 While it's not customary to shoot the messenger, spreading false info will only lead to flames and more. Just an FYI.
#4 Thanks for the news reporter attempt

I would imagine since it says they're using the Skyrocket ICS kernel, rotation would work for us? Isn't that the deal with AT&T/T-Mo sharing ROMs?

I didn't mean it was ROM BASED
1. I meant the stuff he got is from the SR leak, because the title can be misleading thinking its a t-mobile released. but thanks for making it clearer.
2. RAVER said the data/voice worked fine when he used his parent's ATT sim or something like that.
3. my edit2 suggest that a couple things broke when he fixed other things such as the audio problem. it worked before.
This isn't really false info except that the LEAK BASE might be misleading, but it was easier to say that than AOSP ICS BASED OFF SR LEAK LIB and RIL FILES LOL
BTW shouldn't the ROTATION be fine for ROGERS and ATT and i'm assuming data should work for rogers too.
4. thanks man, just trying to help the source since it was their release that helped us.

it shouldn't change the firmware, this is only the ROM and kernel.

I would think it should work fine for ATT and ROGERS skyrocket because.. it is your kernel lol. I really don't know, that's for you guys to find out.
I will gladly test on my t-mobile phone.
URL to the rom? I searched and there are too many to wade through to find it.
You must be talking about this one right?

I tried flashing it a few days ago and I must say I can't wait for the final version to roll out. It's pure amazing. Ofcourse data/sound/etc does not work at the moment but still, I can hardly hold still my erection :$
I've read through the threads on all the forums, and nothing definitive yet. Also things are changing so fast over the last few days, I figured this needed asking.
I'm hearing people say that some of the zip cooked ROMs can be installed on the 727R but only if you have the leak installed first with ODIN.
When I go through the leaked ROM thread, it says it doesn't work on Roger's Skyrockets.
So is there any way to take a stock, or non-stock GB ROM and get either the leaked ROM or a cooked ROM onto a 727R?
Thanks
This works on Rogers. I flashed this from stock rooted Rogers GB.

but to be honest my battery has been draining alot with this leak. also seems alot unstable atm. i know go ahead bash me but ive tried every rom to see if it would settle or be stable. but none so far and im just wondering if this leak is a problem for canadians or for "rogers" especially.
i didn't see anything about rogers incompatibility in this thread?

+1 today it's been unstable for me a lot and the battery leak is still happening
I think there may be slight differences between the Skyrocket & Rogers version, that only Samsung know about.
One only has to look at the Samsung Focus 1.3 & 1.4 revisions. Both are identical except for a minor difference, but it caused major headaches for MS when pushing updates. It wouldn't surprise me if Samsung does the same on the Android side.
So with this leak your running an unfinished ROM, & one that may not be intended for your revision of hardware
i think that could very well be true. because of this battery drain 2-3% every less than half hour is like does this rom really feel it should be like this. also reboot issues, rom hanging in here & there, its not about the "work-around" but actual work seems very unstable. their devs are even soo stupid that when i ripped dialer.apk they spelled dailer in 1 of the imgs rather then dialer..it made me laugh soo hard..

I've tried this version, Mostly worked ok but my caller ID stopped working?
I'm a newb so I can't post over there to find out if anyone else saw the same issue... maybe I did something wrong but everything else seemed to be great?
Thank you everyone for responding. Gonna wait a few days and see how this plays out for Rogers uses. Hope other Rogers users post results here.
If you are on Rogers, flash the thing from the second post then flash any of the other ICS ROMs.
GB-->ICS works
I used ICSMOD5 from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1566820
What I did:SGH-i727R
My ROM was running Malice from T989, with Streamline Kernel.
1)Backup!
2)Factory Reset
3)Advanced - Wipe Dalvik
4)Manual reset: - Mounts and storage, Format system,data & cache
5)Flash UCLA4 ICS radio
6)Flash the ICSMOD5_wipe version
7)Boot
8)Wait...wait even more...don't panic...
9)Enjoy
Everything including data and gps, and time issues were okay.
On the apex launcher, the messenger icon is bonked, just remove the shortcut and put the messaging shortcut again.
Wifi Tether: Starts up via toggle mod, can set password and stuff, computer connects to it but no data goes thru.
Will report back on battery use and possible issues.
So far so good.

Flash this modem http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24140728&postcount=5
Then type *#2263# into the Phone and Select "[4] LTE Band Preference" then "[7] LTE ALL". Once you get an LTE signal, then type *#2263# again and this time Choose "[1] Automatic" and it should work.
I've had to do this a few times, but I have gotten stable LTE on all the ICS builds so far.
i keep getting unknown id on my calls instead of it showing the number

confirm ICS-SUPERLITE 5.1 on Rogers Galaxy S2 I727
I like to endorse the custom ROM ICS-SUPERLITE 5.1 on Rogers Galaxy S2 I727. it is a SUPER ROM, improves the battery life, smooth, uncluttered and simple to install. mhx did a fabulous job.
ICS-SUPERLITE 5.1 is fantastic!

+ 1, actually this has become my daily driver. There are some quirks as in callerid coming in from a telus cell but other than that everything else is solid. Also got lte to kind of work but it's just been started to get setup in my area lol.

I've been running Smooth Ice for almost 2 weeks with no issues. The first ROM I used to upgrade from GB was the one just called 'Working Rogers ICS ROM', or something like that. I used Superlite and then went to Smooth Ice and have no complaints.
well not to put my team's rom up. but if you use our rom after we're gonna update today you are not gonna wanna leave it =).. you think you had enough with other roms. haha you have seen nothing yet.
Im rooted and I am about to flash a new kernel, Im not going to do any romming yet since the ICS update should be coming by the end of the month (should be). I was just wondering what is the best modem/radio for the skyrocket. I currently have UCLA3 and I live in Grand rapids, MI. I dont believe we get LTE here, but I am usually on 4G. I searched but couldnt really find anything solid. Thanks!
You already have latest GB radio UCLA3.
I like the ucle2 radio on all roms. My favorite combo is nexus mod gb 4.3 with that radio and the faux kernel.
But everyone has different results in different geographic locations, it seems. Ucla3 is known to be a very good radio in most areas.
I don't have lte in my area either...

Yeah.. I wouldn't count on it coming out anytime soon... AT&T being AT&T and all. That bloatware doesn't install itself.
That being said, I travel around the midwest a fair bit and have found UCLE2 to work quite well.
I would stick with UCLA3. It has awesome battery life. There are plenty of awesome roms built around this too. I liked Stock Mod 2. With the faux kernel of course.
Might as well try a ROM, it was the radio change that made my Kies say "this device is not supported" . After I flashed the original ROM and kernel, it wasn't until I flashed the radios back, then it said" this is the latest firmware"

If you're already rooted and flashing kernels why not just flash a rom? I highly doubt the ics update gonna come by the end of the month but even if it does you'll probably end up trying a few different iterations of it from the different devs here... It's kinda like a new phone everytime you flash...lol Especially since cm9, aokp and aosp are kinda close to being ready as well...
knowing me Ill end up flashing a ROM lol, thanks for all the info everyone!

Go get some of Seanz ROM based on the official Rogers ICS. It is fast and when coupled with the Mohan kernel even the touch key lights work. Sean may not even mess (I just read his post) with the ATT official because of too much bloat.
This thing is superfast, it downloaded and installed all of my previously installed apps without any user intervention. Facial recog works etc.
This ROM is perfect for me as it is (assuming btooth and wifi is ok which I couldn't test at work)
Assuming these last two things work I won't even download the offical ATT...
So close...yet so far. We are better off custom roms which is in a way more advanced than stocks.

I have to agree rogers would be better for a build. ATT roms are always 150mg larger because of the BS they do with it. Rogers will always be a little better. And they are really the exact same besides the bloat and modem.
Sky ICS based on the Rogers build works great! I personally prefer the CM9 builds, Rogers modem, and Instigator X kernel. There are plenty of options for Skyrocket users without having to worry about an official AT&T build - which is surely to be bloated to death anyway.
Running SKY ICS 4.3f here, thing is smooooth. Was with 4.3E up until today. With a ROM this good, who would want to go stock?
Please let us know how the battery life is with SKY ICS
If you are worried about bloat, why not just freeze it? Its something that YOU would have to do yourself but still. And its fairly easy.
Looks like S2 users have to wait a bit..

Maybe they are putting i777 on hold so they can release i777 and i727 at the same time to reduce the whining.
Here is an actual quote from AT&T PR as to what is going on withthe SGS II AT&T ICS update.
We plan for the upgrade to Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) for Galaxy S II customers to be live very soon. Like with every OS update, we test it on our servers before we roll it out to customers. We’re in the process of doing that with Android 4.0 (ICS) for Galaxy S II customers and hope to make that live soon. We recommend customers wait to attempt the update.

I have unlocked my skyrocket and am using T-Mobile network....I'm trying radios from both this forum and the T-Mobile sgs2 forum but im wondering what carriers radio i should be using?
Edit: it seems ive found a winner...
The at&t radio. 1727 UCLL3 seems to be very fast.
search... there"s a thread down below about this
If you're in an area where T-Mobile has the 1900mhz frequency for data you should be good with a stock skyrocket radio, UCLL3 is a good radio..If T-Mobile is still using the AWS band for data around you, you should flash a T-Mobile S2 radio, no radio is the best, try for yourself and see what gives you the best performance...
Thanks I am still having issues...
I thought I had found a good radio,the one I mentioned above....but it went straight to edge after about 30 minutes lol.
This is killing me lol I feel like I'm flashing for a lost cause ...but I'm still flashing.

What's up short. Nice to see you around. Stopping in more to say hello. I'm on ATT so I'm not facing any of those issues. I guess this is where I get to say TMOB SUCKS. lol Try the stock Rogers radio UXUMA7. If you haven't found it there's links to all the radios in a sticky in the Dev section. Good luck bro.
Hey Hechoen!
Lol good to see a familiar here.
Yea i know att has better faster data lol but all carriers have their ups and downs lol.
Yea ive been in the stickies for 3days now in this forum and the T-Mobile forum studying both sides to this phone...truely like this skyrocket...just a pain in the a** trying to get fast data....its ok just not right....a bit slow on streaming and surfing.
