Anyone else have problems getting contacts to sync with google on ICS roms? Like I have a contact on my sim card and I hit sync (sync contacts is checked), and the contact should then be included in my google contacts but it is not. Any fixes?
do you have auto sync enabled? idk if that will help at all, and it takes some time, im on ICS and i synced my phone contacts with my gmail, but it take some time, i didnt see mine until i woke up the next morning.( i synced them at 9 and went to bed at 9:30) how many contacts do you have?
If u are on uclc4 contact sync is broken. U have two options
1) search for the flash able fix that replaces the needed apks with the ones from ucld2, or pull them from a ucld2 from and replace them yourself using root explorer
2) flash a ucld2 based rom, which in my opinion is the better option
Embryo 2.1
NexusMod Zero
Sky ICS 4.2D-9
All of the above are roms based off the newer ics leak

I rooted my skyrocket and flashed CM7 Alpha Version 3 ROM.
I wasn't able to receive calls, or txt messages.
Also, does anyone know if I can uninstall ADW.Launcher From CM7? I want a pure google based ROM. I like Pure google, but dont wanna slap down the price for a unlocked nexus...
Can anyone guide me in the right direction?
Flash the new version alpha 4 with da_g new cm7 v4 kernel and that should solve your problem

I had to flash DaG's kernel even with the latest update to CM7. My WiFi wasn't working before I did.
You will also need to restore backed up APN settings for data and LTE to work. I tried entering them manually (as outlined in the OP for the ROM) and it didn't work.
There isn't a vanilla Android ROM for this phone yet, at least not to my knowledge. You could try making one I suppose, but that is no easy task (nor is it risk-free!).
Good luck!
I just installed (upgraded) to ICS using Brainmasters MIUI ICS (his last so far :'( ... ), I'm just wondering if there is any way to install Google Wallet, before on 2.3.7 it was fine but now on ICS I haven't found a way to make it work.
Does anybody know how to make GW to work?
Thanks.
Sure,

What have you tried? What errors are you getting? I've had Wallet working on every ICS ROM I've tried. Haven't tried MIUI though. I'm on CM9 currently and I just installed Wallet from the Market with no problems.
*if you didn't wipe /system and /boot it is NOT A FULL WIPE*

I'm in the same boat as you my friend. It originally worked for me but when I switched roms it has never worked again. ICS or Gingerbread roms. I have tried all the fixes and ways to do it out there and it just doesn't work anymore. It pulls up my original account and shows my past purchases but it doesn't show my balance and when I try to add the goggle prepaid card it gives me an error. I just gave up.
Initially I was getting a NFC error, "NFC service has to close" or something like that, then I tried installing the app after I had everything working and now I get the "GW has to close"....or something like that....now I love Google Wallet but I'm in Canada so is not that much of a big deal since I can't reload that thing...on the other hand I may be more interested on getting the Torch working, before ICS MIUI came with the torch so if I needed it I will hold the Home button and the torch will kick, it's even on my status bar....but is nowhere on my phone.....???....gotta look for MIUI torch...man....still, gonna try the 2 work arounds.
Hi guys, i just have recently downgraded my ics to gb rom rooted. I missed some of the cool built-in apps that it has on ics compare to gb. Such as Gallery, Music, sms, dialer and browser. Is it possible to extract it from ics rom and replace it with my current ones? if not, could you recommend me some apps that i could get it over with? i mean i want to save some space(ram) thats all and make it look cool.

You could always put ICS back on the device and extract the APK using ADB (install QtADB, it's easier to use). The thing is : it probably won't work. Most apps "built for ICS" depends on libraries that are simply not there in previous version of the os. I know the Music app can be installed (google it) but I'm pretty sure the dialer and sms cannot.
thank you! thats all i needed to hear
I found posts for TiBu methods for freezing wifi tethering restrictions on GB and did it successfully.. Is there a way to enable tethering on ICS 4.0.3? Running the Sky ICS 4.2D rom.
are u using the new ucld2 base? if you are then dial *#638# and hit wifi tethering always on and then again, then restart phone. If you are on the old base, ultracfg should be available in the app drawer, if not, u will have to install it on your current rom

Yes working from seanzscreams' SKI ICS UCLD2 base.. Your method worked but there seems to be a bug with this as it freezes while "verifying." Also when restarting and disabling the tether.
haven't read much on tethering and ucld2, let alone try it. it may or may not be broken, im sure someone will look into it
Installing an updated base Rom so i'll letcha know if the issue's resolved.. Thanks for your help
Still running into issues with the tether toggling. Not sure.
Q. Generally good practice to fix permissions after every flash?
Hi All,
I have a 727R that I have setup with Touch CWM & Superlite 5.1 ICS ROM.
I do have a couple of questions concerning my setup.
1- Is there a way that I can replace the ATT address book with the default ICS contacts?
2- I have A full version of titanium backup with a folder full of apps from another device that I would like to import into this one. Where do I put that folder for titanium backup to load and recognize?
3- Can I change the phone dialer to the stock ICS too?
4- Why wont ROM manager recognize the CWM touch that I have installed?
Thanks

Ditch SKY ICS and get an AOSP based rom like CM9, Chimaira, or AOKP. That would solve #1 and #3, personally I hate touchwiz at least the skyrocket version of it (My friend has an S3 and that version looks interesting). SKY ICS is a damn good rom but I personally just prefer AOSP, clean, fast, and simple. No added samsung, rogers, or AT&T bloat.
If you do decide to to get an AOSP based rom, you should check out Boobah's mod as one of the many things it lets you do is use inverted gApps (Will fix the ugly white blue colour scheme). Just don't use inverted google talk, it's broken.

Not sure on your other two questions.
Hi Rabidsmurf,
I would am dumping the touchwiz rom and going cm9 as we speak. I am just annoyed that the 4G icon doesn't work on the aosp, aokp roms that I have tried so far.

Yeah, annoying but a small sacrifice, you could try AOKP or Chimaira, both supposed to be excellent ROMS, they are based on CM9 and will have the same bugs, not sure if they have a 4G icon or not.
Grab one of the CM9 nightlies instead of the Alpha5, it has some extra fixes:
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=skyrocket&type=nightly
I am using the July 2nd 2012 nightly currently, have not tried the more recent ones.
Since you're going AOSP (master race), you may also want to give Instigators Kernel a look see... supposedly it saves battery, I haven't noticed.
It did break my camera though (A common issue) so you will probably want to try a version 2.8 or earlier (Maybe one of the stable ones), that did not have the problem. I am on 3.2.

Awesome Rabidsmurf, thanks for all this.
Both the Chimera and the AOKP have the 3G icon bug.
Downloading a nightly now.....

No problem, also don't forget about Boobah's mod I linked you earlier (AROMAKoK) it's seriously awesome, and you can use it to customize your ROM after you flash it.
I also reflashed to the UCLE2 radio earlier today the one on CM9's page with the RIL libraries, seems a bit more stable:
