Hi guys,
I recently made a switch from sprint to att. I picked the skyrocket.
I had the evo4g from the 3rd day it was released and tried nearly every
rom there was. I am flash junkie.
What can you tell me or recomend for this new phone of mine?
I have installed CWM recovery, superuser, and titanium so far.
Not sure what rom I should try first. Feel like I was fluent in evo forum and roms. Not liking being the new kid.
Thanks in advance

You are going to love the Skyrocket! Unfortunately the EVO being out as long as it has had a much more solid dev area.
The Skyrocket is still young but really doesn't take much to make it fly.
I currently use quickwiz along with faux's kernel.
I have mish mashed some themes from the tmobile t989 section and used some bits and pieces from our devs here to really make the phone mine.
Honestly there isn't a bad rom in the dev section, they are all great

That has been my hesitation, very little to choose from compared to evo.
I have a friend trying to get me a beta version of vanilla 4.0 from his connects
at google.
I will be sharing if that comes through.
Thanks for the input
Flashing
While I am at it, Is it correct that flashing roms with CWM
will not trigger the counter?
And then to go back to stock just is odin to flash a stock rom?
Thanks
Correct

if you are a flash junkie I would flash all of them saving skyicecream for last because it is probably the best in my opinion and because as much as Sean(dev) releases updates, almost daily, it hard to find time to flash anything else because your curious to see what's new. any way welcome to the forum and happy flashing

First of all, After reading a lot here (maybe not enough) Thanks for all you have done and are doing..
As my post count shows i am a supernoob at this android phone stuff with this being my first smart phone..I would like to ask you a question in regards to your [ROM][2.3.6]SGH-I997 UCLB1 [Rooted, deodexed, busybox].
I updated my phone through kies mini with the first Samsung release of GB so it is not rooted and you say flash your ROM with CWM which needs root that I don't have.
Can i flash this ROM with ODIN since from what I have read does not require root? (Or am I wrong thinking ODIN does not need root access?)
I'll be honest some of the threads about flashing are pretty confusing when you have never done it before.
Anyhow... Thanks in advance for any reply..
P.S. I give you total permission to hit me upside the head with the stupid stick if I missed the answer to this..
No.. you cannot flash with Odin.... my suggestion is to Odin gtg unbrick.... or flash the community gb kernel to cwm, then wipe and flash my rom ... it is only cwm flashable... if u use gtg unbrick, then root with superoneclick, 3e modified recovery to get cwm, then flash my rom. You will not be able to flash it from the official update. Good luck bro

no sim removal needed.
on your phone, go to contacts, menu, sync to contacts to google.
it is 2012...we shouldn't be saving contacts to phone or sim anymore.

My contacts were backed up on Google before I knew they were. When I rooted my "old" phone (HTC Desire) & flashed many first rom, I wondered what kind of magic the dev worked that brought all my contacts back.

Running stock and unrooted until T-mo/Samsung release ICS for this phone.
I rooted my previous phone (Exhibit 4G) and got rid of the T-mo bloat, can't wait to do the same for this phone. Only reason I haven't rooted is I worry something may interfere with the OTA update whenever it's released.

HA! Me too! On both counts! Got rid of the exhibit and got the blaze instead. Never got voicemails on that undeveloped thing. It's too bad as besides the voicemail issue I had it was a solid phone.
You should be able to get an OTA update even rooted with CWM (it is still the stock rom after all) - but you may end up needing to download the zip and do it yourself. It shouldn't be too hard to find the zip here on XDA for the stock release once it's out. I actually prefer doing it that way- it's faster -as with other devices I've owned the OTA update wouldn't go through until 3-4 days after its release (sensation 4g, streak 7). I have rooted and got CWM on my phone and removed the bloat and LOVE IT.
Coming from a 1st gen Exhibit 4G makes me thankful that so many great devs are actively developing for our Blaze. Thank you!
I still come to wonder.. What happened to the guy who was building a ROM before the blaze even released.?

This is a very alpha stage build for those wanting to help out and get this going for our device. NOT A DAILY DRIVER
Thanks of course to CyanogenMod for source

Been running since posted make sure if testing to install the newest gapps 12-12. As the op mentions a lot is broken hence alpha.If possible please post logcats.
Got the adb working. I'll play around with getting you some log cats tonight, going to bed. Gotta be up in 2 hrs...
sorry about that jbats. Been busy... adb works if you tap about in settings a few times to get developer options. I ran some logcats and found some issues. I am working on them now. will hopefully have a new build by the end of the day with some fixes in it.. thanks for the help and logcats are our friend...

As an off-topic question would any of you devs know if there is a compile flag to enable tasks/notes in Exchange Services or some way to enable it? Best answer I have found searching this is that the phones that do support it only have it because it was provided as a feature by HTC/Motorola.
