Hi guys I'm currenting running BAMF 2.0 and I'm having a lot of problems with charging and USB mounting and so I was wondering if I should switch to CM7. What problems have you guys been having with CM7? Also what kernel and radio should I flash when I run it? Thanks!

You need to use a Froyo radio (like the one in my signature). Also CM7 does have it's own issues: see the CM7 thread for more. I'm using leanKernel2.5.2+tun and it works great. Make sure to flash the kernel in recovery and not in ROM manager or Kernel Manager -- it can cause issues. Some of the charging issues I've seen with the GB Sense Leak seem to have something to do with the kernel, or so I've read in the leanKernel thread. May want to check that out before you switch.
Good luck!
I've been using CM7 as my daily driver since the newest build came out and have had very few problems. The most annoying issue is that in order to get 4g you have to turn 3g on first, then switch to 4g and it will connect, but won't show you how many bars you have. Aside from that everything is working pretty flawlessly for me. I think that it is way better than any of the sense based roms and it's definitely cool to have an AOSP rom since I upgraded from the OG DROID.
I wouldn't say I've been having zero problems, I don't have the updated baseband above (care to point me where I can find that/noob instructions?) but overall I have mixed feelings with the update - most of them are stock-android issues I think. The radios are a mess, I lose 3g regularly and have to restart, gps problems, and bluetooth is a complete disaster (as it was on sense). Other than that, I've had issues with exchange, issues with my contacts (may have been a backup problem), issues with some widgets. Generally it is MUCH faster than sense on bootup, but some games are laggy with nothing else running.
Also: Netflix!
Really looking forward to future updates, once the kinks are worked out I will be pretty happy. Very glad I'm off sense and all that VZ crap is gone.

+ 1 Had a blast on it for a few hours, it's a nice rom.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Nice rom but I found it to be a bit slow, was I buggin out?
I actually downloaded this rom (I have the Nexus S for AT&T) last night and i'm about to wipe device and flash a new one. The app drawer takes forever to load and it seems like a pretty consistent problem. I have rebooted and done a battery pull and still same issue. Also the theme comes with a custom lockscreen and I have yet to see an option to disable or change it so that I may use widgetlocker. As of right now I have widgetlocker and I have to unlock 2xs along with password which is a pain.
I will say that it is pretty zippy in all aspects. The internet loads very quickly. The apps switch very quickly. When composing text messages the keyboard responds very quicky. The messages send very quickly. However the app drawer not loading is what seals the deal for me. I came from MIUI the latest build is 1.8.26 and had the previous 2 builds before that and I had an issue of my service dropping in and out until I did a reboot. I searched around and there were a handful of others that had the same problem. I love the rom and the ability for customizations however I need my device functioning over beauty.
If others have downloaded this rom, I would love to hear feedback on thier experience on it.
Have you tried v2? It's only recently been released.
It looks and feels great BUT I can't get my wifi to work.
The devs site says the ROM doesn't include radio so I assume this is why my wifi isnt working? I have I9020 and based in UK and KD1 and KB3 don't make the wifi work. Does anyone have any ideas how I can enable wifi?
Thanks

To get your wifi working try downloading a different kernel. The kernel controls the wireless module in the phone. You may want to download a few so if your phone doesn't boot up with one kernel you can also do a battery pull then reboot back into clockwork recovery and try a different kernel. Try a netarchy Cfs 2.3.4 aosp or universal kernel or a matrix kernel. The netatchy cfs 2.3.4 aosp kernel will probably work best. This is in the genexus toolbox on the market for free to download and then you just have to flash through clockwork.
Hi all
I'm wondering if anyone is experiencing the same problem as me here.
Ever since I installed ics onto my nexus s. Both asop+ and cybergr roms
I've been experiencing this thing where the search button just keeps on going off.
Sometimes it goes away in a bit...sometimes it doesn't. And I would need to do a battery pull to have it go away.
This happens when I use glados kernel. Matrix 1.45 and 1.5
I'm not sure why this it happening...hoping someone can enlighten me here.
Thanks !
its a known problem on the ns specifically the i9020a. i belive its something to do with the radio. some people have reported changing radios has helped but i dont think there is a solid fix yet. i have experienced this on gingerbread and ics.
hope this helps
I've read through the threads on all the forums, and nothing definitive yet. Also things are changing so fast over the last few days, I figured this needed asking.
I'm hearing people say that some of the zip cooked ROMs can be installed on the 727R but only if you have the leak installed first with ODIN.
When I go through the leaked ROM thread, it says it doesn't work on Roger's Skyrockets.
So is there any way to take a stock, or non-stock GB ROM and get either the leaked ROM or a cooked ROM onto a 727R?
Thanks
This works on Rogers. I flashed this from stock rooted Rogers GB.

Some minor bugs but there are solutions for them all so far.

but to be honest my battery has been draining alot with this leak. also seems alot unstable atm. i know go ahead bash me but ive tried every rom to see if it would settle or be stable. but none so far and im just wondering if this leak is a problem for canadians or for "rogers" especially.
i didn't see anything about rogers incompatibility in this thread?

+1 today it's been unstable for me a lot and the battery leak is still happening
I think there may be slight differences between the Skyrocket & Rogers version, that only Samsung know about.
One only has to look at the Samsung Focus 1.3 & 1.4 revisions. Both are identical except for a minor difference, but it caused major headaches for MS when pushing updates. It wouldn't surprise me if Samsung does the same on the Android side.
So with this leak your running an unfinished ROM, & one that may not be intended for your revision of hardware
i think that could very well be true. because of this battery drain 2-3% every less than half hour is like does this rom really feel it should be like this. also reboot issues, rom hanging in here & there, its not about the "work-around" but actual work seems very unstable. their devs are even soo stupid that when i ripped dialer.apk they spelled dailer in 1 of the imgs rather then dialer..it made me laugh soo hard..

I've tried this version, Mostly worked ok but my caller ID stopped working?
I'm a newb so I can't post over there to find out if anyone else saw the same issue... maybe I did something wrong but everything else seemed to be great?
Thank you everyone for responding. Gonna wait a few days and see how this plays out for Rogers uses. Hope other Rogers users post results here.
If you are on Rogers, flash the thing from the second post then flash any of the other ICS ROMs.
GB-->ICS works
I used ICSMOD5 from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1566820
What I did:SGH-i727R
My ROM was running Malice from T989, with Streamline Kernel.
1)Backup!
2)Factory Reset
3)Advanced - Wipe Dalvik
4)Manual reset: - Mounts and storage, Format system,data & cache
5)Flash UCLA4 ICS radio
6)Flash the ICSMOD5_wipe version
7)Boot
8)Wait...wait even more...don't panic...
9)Enjoy
Everything including data and gps, and time issues were okay.
On the apex launcher, the messenger icon is bonked, just remove the shortcut and put the messaging shortcut again.
Wifi Tether: Starts up via toggle mod, can set password and stuff, computer connects to it but no data goes thru.
Will report back on battery use and possible issues.
So far so good.

Flash this modem http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24140728&postcount=5
Then type *#2263# into the Phone and Select "[4] LTE Band Preference" then "[7] LTE ALL". Once you get an LTE signal, then type *#2263# again and this time Choose "[1] Automatic" and it should work.
I've had to do this a few times, but I have gotten stable LTE on all the ICS builds so far.
i keep getting unknown id on my calls instead of it showing the number

confirm ICS-SUPERLITE 5.1 on Rogers Galaxy S2 I727
I like to endorse the custom ROM ICS-SUPERLITE 5.1 on Rogers Galaxy S2 I727. it is a SUPER ROM, improves the battery life, smooth, uncluttered and simple to install. mhx did a fabulous job.
ICS-SUPERLITE 5.1 is fantastic!

+ 1, actually this has become my daily driver. There are some quirks as in callerid coming in from a telus cell but other than that everything else is solid. Also got lte to kind of work but it's just been started to get setup in my area lol.

I've been running Smooth Ice for almost 2 weeks with no issues. The first ROM I used to upgrade from GB was the one just called 'Working Rogers ICS ROM', or something like that. I used Superlite and then went to Smooth Ice and have no complaints.
well not to put my team's rom up. but if you use our rom after we're gonna update today you are not gonna wanna leave it =).. you think you had enough with other roms. haha you have seen nothing yet.
None of the latest NS4G roms in development seem to support WIFI Tehthering. Maybe I'm wrong?
I've gone back to GB Bugless Beast for now, because it just works. I miss all of the fancy doodads in JB roms, though. Any ideas?
