So I'm having difficulties deciding between the two. Which has better features and more stable roms? Also will having rogers version i727r make a difference? Don't wanna brick on my first flash. Any help is appreciated
I use SKY ICS.... I was reluctant at first, but since I switched it's been better than his GB ROM. Make the switch, you won't regret it.
EDIT: You caught me! LOLOL Well played.
I understand that there is still no fix for the Caller Name/ID issue on Rogers with ICS. That has held me back so far.

Is this the part where you get flamed for posting a question in the general forum? Fishy, very fishy...
I have been holding off from ICS because of the caller id issue. Flashed a couple roms from the first leak but went back to GB.
The cwm roms worked fine just found the caller id a make or break issue.

I was on CM7 for a while. Flashed Sean's rom on the Mrs SR and she's loving it. Gave it a go and haven't looked back. Another great rom is MODs ICS release. Try both and see which fits u best.
edit.
damn... smh coupled with face palm
The ICS roms are fun for about 5 seconds, then you realize that every variation of the ICS leak is the same.

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

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

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

i just picked up a rooted and unlocked skyrocket. now i have been reading a lot of the how to's and other mods for the phone. to clarify though i can run any t989 rom or any i 727 skyrocket rom on the phone? also all i need to do is flash the tmobile radio pack for 3/4 g on tmobile?
i wont do anything until i get confirmation. no need to brick my shiny new white skyrocket lol.
any other tips ideas would be helpful and awesome!!!
I'm pretty sure you should only flash at&t from if you have at&t, and T-Mobile if you have T-Mobile. The carrier settings usually come with the rom, so if you have at&t and flash a T-Mobile you probably won't get any connectivity.
Just my thought, but I'm no dev. Do a search on the forums.

just use. Cwm touch recovery. It is much better then previous versions.
Do a nandroid backup before.
And as long as u stay in the skyrocket and t989 section you'll be fine.
Almost all people brick. Doing thing they shouldn't. Or flashing stuff from a diff device.
The t989 is almost identical to our device

Still hasn't been 100% confirmed it's ICS yet. Nobody has finished (that has posted).
And the fact T-Mobile is dropping theirs honestly would have zero effect on ours. It's all up to AT&T and their bloatware adding department. Besides, any drop at this point is very unlikely to be any different than LE2, so it's really not that exciting until opensource gets updated. At that time it will become "RELEASE THE KRAKEN!" (or at least the kernels! lol)

It's not ICS, so please change the thread title and ban the poster.
Jumping Jesus Christ on a pogo stick. We have enough "Hey ICS is Here!" threads in the skyrocket forum that turn out to be just another 2.3.6 rollout. Now we're going to have useless threads for other phones based on wrong information regarding official ics?
That T-Mob thread was closed by a mod and moved to the general ICS thread. We really need more of that in this forum. Ugh... smhu
Sorry all. I read some posts saying things like the update . zip contained 4.0.4 files so I thought it might be legit.

All Sorts of human error can brick a device also .. but . ill never go back To GB Can't stand it after 6 mounths on my evo now on my t989 .. and I won't probably Run a leak again im on a open saurce unoficial AOKP . witch does have a leaked kernel but soon as I can ill be AOSP style ALL the WAY..
Based off the note bricks, and some on the skyrocket and 989 that seem similar. Nothing definitive, but I'd rather play it safe and I've gone back to gb. You're call man, that's just what I'm doing

What did you roll back to 2.3.5 or 2.3.6? If you have a link to to Odin one click back to 2.3.5 I would greatly appreciate it if you would post it. I think I'll go back to 2.3.5 and decide if I want to update to 2.3.6 and just wait for the official ics release whenever that may be.
