Skyrocket From EVO4G

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

[REQUEST]Help Needed For Miui V4 Port

Hey guys, jomeister here with a request for some dev help with porting Miuiv4 to our phones. I figure now that the ICS drivers has been released, and with my AOSP rom being updated soon, we might as well get down to business with some ICS Miui.
So far, I've been looking at this page here ------> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1499411
And trying to use a phone with the msm8660 processor to port off, the evo 3d
here ------> http://www.goodandevo.net/2012/02/u...d.html?cid=6a00d83451c9ec69e2016301cbfba1970d.
So.... yeah, if you're willing to help me with this, please leave a comment so we can get started on some Miui goodness.
iandroidos I'm looking at you.

Hmmm I'll do a blind port with a few help from other friends of mine MIUI v4 will be simple since its minimal for now but not really simple.

As I'm reading the instructions, I'm starting to doubt more and more if this will work or not. The Evo 3D is a very different device... Not to mention that it's HTC, and not Samsung.
I'm downloading the Evo3D rom right now anyways. Going to try this.

Well, really the only difference between Miui and AOSP is the system/framework, some system/apps, and some other random files that aren't really that critical to the system. The Evo 3D actually not that different from our Skyrocket; they both have the same msm8660 chip.

Yeah... but still a very slim chance that it'll work.
I tried it, and as expected: softbrick
It didn't even post. o.o

Hey guys any chance we would be getting at least an alpha of this soon? Just wondering cause of the new unofficial cm9 build that was released yesterday

Strange that this thread should be woken up today.
Hey jo, wali10x and I are working on a MIUIv4 ROM. Care to help? We're stuck on something very, very annoying.

We've been trying and so far, from what I know, we fixed surfaceflinger in the CM9 base but AtCmdFwd won't start. I believe it is because of libhardware_legacy.so

GB or ICS?

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.

im sure what u mean by Ics bricking your device .. I know recovery can and .. ect.. I think ive herd of one or 2 that woke up in the morning and there phone was in a loop . maybe one or 2 bricked but ive herd tht with all sorts of ROM through out the days can u be more specific .. I wold like to research this????
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

Oh boy now you have me worried enough to have went and done some research and I didn't like what I found. You think this could possibly affect the skyrocket to? I think I'm not flashing anything else until I get time to Odin back to stock
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.
I've included a link below for ics users to read about the bricking problem if anyone wants to read it..

I don't think will stop me till I see more on it.. and the one x or s looks nice .lol if I was a baller. Lol
Thanks again for the info.. if I hear more or my phone bricks I'll let you know....let's just hope for smooth sailing foe everyone here on out.. I'll be keeping my ear to the ground, thanks

Flashed i777 kernel to i727

And now my Galaxy S2 i727 won't turn on or boot into download mode. I was told getting a jig may fix it but if my phone won't turn on would I be able to use a jig?
Is there any way to make my phone functional again or am I out of luck?

well that was stupid lol. sorry bud you might be able to jtag it but idk good luck

Yeah, you're hard-bricked. A jig would almost certainly be a waste of time and money. Send it to the jtag guy for $50 or buy a new one, maybe try to warranty it out through Sammy if you want to risk them finding out that you'd been flashing and broken the warranty.
Not to rub salt in the wound or anything, but had you paid close attention and read before flashing, you'd have noticed that you were about to flash an SGS2 kernel onto a SR, and riding full-speed on the train to Bricksville.

thats why the last part of my sig says what it says.
the 1st link in my sig has a link for brick repair, but first try to get it fixed under warranty, just say that it wont turn on anymore and act dumb about flashing...which is not to far from the truth

Smh.....another one bites the dust this is why I get so angry nobody takes time to learn about their $400+ device but then we are supposed to help them fix it..... my faith in the ability of our society to learn is dead I can't wait to see what happens when these generations get older

Not to be an advocate of noobs... i was kinda confused at first too. BUT never took rooting and flashing as a joke so I read and read... took me a week or so before rooting (already reading up on skyrocket and S2 prior to purchase though) and more than 6 months of reading before flashing Embryo 6.
Rooting is the new cool aid... wish some people will quit trying to be cool and really understand what they are doing. Most noobs just wants to brag that they have a custom rom as though it elevates their standing in life. Geeez.
