Just bought skyrocket what to do?

Just bought a used skyrocket only problem is the battery door got Lil scratches (already order new one on eBay for 5 bucks) but got it for a sweet 200! So people its already rooted (he said he used super one click) stock recovery and on 2.3.6 is it hard to install roms on here and any good ones?

All the roms are good and their not very hard to install. Make sure you do your fair share of reading. All the info you need are in these forums. Look at the sticky threads in each section. Good luck

Looking good!

im using skymod 5.1. uses Apex launcher and is fairly stable...thing is you never know with ROMs based on leaked code if it's the dev or just bugged ICS code.
ill i really want is an experience that's just pure Android, no UI BS...just pure. I miss my Nexus One for that exact reason.

Here's all the ROMS for skyrocket: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1383464
I'm running ICS RC7.4 Speed though: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377087

Yes so many ICS roms yet they ain't stable for DD right? Also feel so dumb and totally forgot the the rocket has nfc. So far reading no ics rom has that working correct? I'm assuming that one we get a official release of ICS then nfc should work?

1) nfc works
2) many people use it as a dd, no fcs or instabilities, just a few tiny bugs, that may or may not annoy (shutdown/reboot anyone?)

As well as the ROMS this "all in one location" helped me it links how to Root (different methods) one click works best for me, talks about kernals, ODIN return to stock, and much more.
As always READ READ READ. I read for about 2 months. Was rooted, downloaded an app that borked my modem. Knew exactly where to go to return to stock......

OK have to look at it ICS some more just loving alien#6 to much with faux kernel!
But anybody recommended a ICS that's pretty stable and has nfc working?

Went to nexus mod from loving it!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

Started with NexusMod 4 and quickly went to NexusMod ICS Slim. This ROM blazes on the latest ICS leak and the developer is quick on updates and support. I personally use it as a Daily Driver with very few hiccups.

I got my s2 last week and installed ICS yesterday. It's amazing how much my phone improved. Here's the link with easy instructions to download:

OK is anyway to change restrictions on changing apn. I need mms and it won't work cause it keep saying " ics does not allow write apn changes

Currently on SKY ICS UCLD2 by seanzscreams.
It's pretty good but read and reread the instructions he posted when installing this ROM.
I believe the ics superlite by mhx is a simpler install.

I don't use att. I use a company called red pocket. And mms don't work on any ICS roms I flash
It keeps telling me you can't write apn settings on ICS. So I'm stuck as to getting this to work?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

are u using a third party program from the market to enter the apns? If so that's y. Enter them manually. Settings > more > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names. Then hit menu button

I've done that I can receive mms but can't send mms. So I'm stuck on GB until then

903tex, did you download the Red Pocket configurator from the market? I thought that sets up the apn for you, maybe not w/ ICS.

i9000 Custom Roms on i897

Is it possible to use the Galaxy S custom roms from the i9000 forum on the Captivate?
Im new to this part of XDA, seeing as I just picked up a pretty beat up captivate for 20$.
Before I get flamed or anything, Im just asking. I searched it up and went through nine pages and found no results answering my question.
IF there is a way, may you please link me to it?
Thanks.
Jhoopes517

Yes.
But u need a "Reoriented Kernel" for the firmware of the rom u want to flash...jvr, jw4 or whatever it is.
Search in the Dev forum of the Captivate. U probably will have to go back a ways.

Yes you can , you can go with either as long as you run the proper kernel .
I9000 with I9000 , 1897 with I897
the I9000 kernel will have the home and back buttons swapped but you can install button mapper , free n the market , and reasighn them
you can also run modified JB 4 at this time , Slim Bean , X Bean so on , but you will need to install the mapper program o XBean

Because the op didn't have a cappy 3 months ago. And 3 months of time on XDA can equal to 300-400 pages of posts, or more. If he posted in the development section, then flame on. But general sections are for inquiries such as this.
This info helped me, so thanks for bringing up a 3 month old thread

I think a stock base rom with galaxy s3 launcher with theme chooser would be awesome have like red and green and blue and maybe orange themes to choose from like on cm9 and cm10

eugenes working on a sense rom so i cant wait for that but i think it would be really cool if someone could continue nexus mod and make it as aosp as possible without losing the tw feel that would be great since M0D has left our device

How about a tablet homescreen UI and other tablet elements. I've seen a mod, I believe, that has tablet look to settings. I would like to see the whole ROM have that look.
I might not like it but would like to check it out.
Maybe a Note 10.1 port.
This is my Sig.

How about a CM9/TW hybrid with outstanding battery life?
Oh wait...
Seriously, I'd love to see a CM10/TW hybrid, but I'm afraid of what that would do to stability and battery life as long as CM10's in alpha.

[REQUEST] Stock Galaxy S3 Camera.apk running on Jellybean

I love the features of the Galaxy S3 Camera app, but the rom is full of bloatware and lacking features.
I upgraded to ParanoidAndroid 2+, and love it.
Request to put the STOCK Galaxy S3 Camera App onto a JellyBean mod (like ParanoidAndroid or CM).

Attempts have been made @ this thread but there were no conclusive results.

Its not possible because the stock camera relies heavily on the stock samsung framework.

OOPS I was meant to quote the OP not you but you answered for him ... reason for my Question is because he is asking for a system app of a Different device
i think the camera app should be interchangable Not sure tho...I just find it odd as there is PLENTY more I9300 users with what you would be looking for and its no guessing game that way caues you KNOW it will work. Its better to be safe then sorry. And yes they are similar devices but they are not the same which is why we have 2 different development forums for them.
And if you want to try the camera app is in ausdim deodexed/zialigned XXALI5 rom , its in this thread somewhere just extract it out of there but your rom has to be deodexed aswell.

Custom roms

I'm new to rooting and custom roms. I currently have a stock rom on my Verizon sg3 that I rooted and use T-Mobile service now. If I change to a custom rom do they all have the lady update that Verizon put out? Because I really like the multi screen function. And are there screen shots to view what the custom roms look like?

Don't know about Multi screen, but as my above reply stated yes, it gotta be. About, screenshots, yes you can view in the thread itself, say for example: MROM-d2vzw [4.2.2][LINARO][CM10.1][3.4.55] build:20130819
On the other hand, if you find no screenshots and its a CyanogenMod or Paranoid Android or AOKP or other development thread, you can simply google search for its screenshots, as the interface will be similar in every devices. And if its a popular ROM, its likely that some members would've been made a Youtube video, so you can search for those too. Happy flashing!
