[Q] Got a couple of questions about my setup - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

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:

[Q] Help! PLease!

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
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
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!

Best GB ROMs?

I want to go back to GB as I'm not satisfied with the ICS ROMs I've tried (only had this phone a few weeks). Dev board is flooded with ICS, any GB suggestions?

I highly reccomend Oxygen, only problem I ever had with it was sending and recieving mms. Other than that I say it is lightening fast and stable.
Were you able to fix the mms issue?

Try .CIBERGR-MOD 's GB version. It's a fast rom. Although, I'm not sure if he has a NS4G version.

Peter Alfonso's GPA19 ROM is the most stable one that I tried. Look for Peter Alfonso's site and click the Downloads link for crespo. I would post a link here, but XDA's nonsense won't allow it.
Download the 12-07-11 one to get the latest GB version. There aren't a lot of customizations like CM, Oxygen, MIUI, etc., but it's stable as hell. The latest Oxygen (2.3.2) has a REALLY obnoxious, and largely ignored, backlight notification bug where you have to reboot to get the lights to go out... only way I've ever found to fix it is to install another kernel. However, Peter Alfonso's got one of those too... just go to his site and it should be on the second page of the "blog."
I know you said you didn't like ICS, and I didn't either at first, but Pete's ICS ROMs are also great and very stable. The latest is 01-30-12, and you can get it from the same crespo download page.
question.
hey man i got a question, could i use peter alfonso's rooted stock rom for gingerbread (right?) when downgrading, right? instead of re rooting it.

Loaded up the 01-30-12 ICS this morning since that would be the easiest transition. Using Apex and so far, so good. Thanks!

I'm currently running Euroskank CM7 kangs.
Wow, really. I don't have any ICS envy seeing how sweet those kangs are. They're smooth as butter and stable too! Checking my phone, my current uptime is 132 hours (5.5 days) since my last reboot, which was to flash the latest kang back then.

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking. Both of his ROMs are pre-rooted, so no, you won't have to re-/root anything. But since you're going from ICS to GB you'll have to wipe everything, so there's no real "downgrade" path.
From a rooting perspective, the only difference I've noticed, that's kind of annoying, is that his GB ROM contains busybox and his ICS ROM doesn't. It's not a deal-breaker since there are Market apps to add it in, but it's kind of annoying that the binary has to be re-linked after each update/flash.

Im asking that if i can reverted back to gingerbread version without loosing root, may i install his pre-rooted stock without loosing root. Thats all, but since you mentioned it, im relived to revert it back. but i couldnt find his link could you provide me one? Also is it regular to flash it back to gb or is there a special method to do it?
I can't post links yet because our fine friends at XDA say that I need to post more for the privilege. Pfft.
You should be able to type peter alfonso downloads crespo and get to the page. 12-07-11 is the latest GB version (GPA19).
There's no "special" method for flashing, just do what you would do when going from one incompatible ROM to another... wipe data/factory reset, format cache partition, format /system, wipe dalvik cache. There are probably a million different combinations that different people will give you for the proper install, but that's what I normally do.
Tryout CyberGR's CM7 MOD and you won't go back:

Just read the feedback in the thread and you'll understand.
perfect, and uh before i do that it could be any rooted gb rom right? just curious, that's all.
Don't mean to hijack the thread but what if I wanted to put a custom GB ROM on top of stock GB rom. I'm curious if you can just flash without wiping? Or should I do titanium backup instead?

[Q] (Q) can you put themes on the stock ics rom?

i am hoping to put the KOB4LT R3V4MP3D 4.1 ICS theme on my skyrocket. i have cwmr touch installed and i am rooted. i was running superlite with that theme but wanted to try the new stock leak. it is running a lot smoother an with less problems then superlite did. so i want to know if i can put it on a stock rom without screwing everything up.
Yes you can flash random things like the toggle mod, but I'm not sure if every mod will work perfectly though. Trial and error then nandroid

well u shouldn't be mismatching framework-res.apk's, as each from chef puts different configs in there from my understanding, but u can flash the systemui.apk without issue I would think, as well as some of the inverted and aosp apps included in that theme

Looks great, seems to be run nearly as smooth as my actually flashed BCM Rom (CM9)
EDIT: Ok my I understand it now, I was just confused^^
Ah I've got a little question:
Do you want to update your ROM if reider is updating his Rom (or Nikez, I don't know...)

But could you explain who did which part of the ROM?
Have you developed it for Nexus One or did someone other port your ROM to Nexus One?

My port is a part from Reider123 (his have port cm10 to the n1) and the COS/NikeZ rom for the base.

Just flashed this.
In the video there is a camera app. But I don't have one when I flash.
Otherwise its great so far, a little lag/delay when pressing back and opening some programs but understandable.
My concern in the camera, I am re-flashing to see if it fixes.
I cant believe this is an alpha, great work so far!!! :good:
Im sure it will not take that much for you to have it up and running soon.
Great work!! :good:
Going to sleep now, will update in the morning.

Flashed this with no problems.
Tried the SpazeDog JB rom and my apps just kept force closing but they work fine on this.
Only thing I would like is the CM theme chooser as I hate the look of ICS/JB.
where is the option to change theme in this ROM?
I installed touchwiz theme for cm10 but it did not work.

I have never had CyanogenMod before. I have only had Oxygen. Is the installation process the same? And by the same i mean : put the ROM on the SD card, boot into recovery and and choose install zip from SD card?
EDIT: I have ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.7

Yes, the installation process is the same.
Have had this ROM running for about 2 days and it's great so far.
A few things
- I remove the default Music app cuz it was way too slow for me and when ProPlayer was installed the default app would "capture" the headphone's button clicks and start to play instead of ProPlayer.
- Google Now works perfectly. A little lag but expected.
- No cam I am able to use Fast Burst Camera to take pics and doesn't cause reboots.
- Slight lag in opening/closing apps but I think switching Governer to Smartass v2 helps cut the delay and makes it feel faster.
Great ROM dude, hope to see more updates

(==)Modified System UI apk for all(==)

This is my personal SystemUI.apk I use on CleanROM. Figured I would share it here, Anyone is welcome to use it or icons etc in it at will.
Most of the icons came from the UOT Kitchen with the exception of the 4G icon, it came from another mod here on XDA, I combined those with some from my wifes Galaxy note and created this cool themed SystemUI apk. Updater zip provided by team nocturnal.
Works with:
CleanROM latest version
Check out the photos below.
Disclaimer: as usual im not responsible for any damage you or your phone may suffer from this flash. Tested and working on CleanROM latest version. If your use another ROM and flash this and it works fine please tell me so I can add that rom/version to the works with list.
Installation:
1. Download modifiedsystemui.zip to sdcard
2. Backup current SystemUI.apk located in system/app to sdcard in a place you can find it and on your pc
3. Reboot to TWRP recovery
4. Flash zip
5. Wipe dalvik/cache
6. Reboot enjoy
If you want to return to your previous systemui.apk simply replace your backed up systemui.apk with 7zip in the zip file deleting the modified one and flash it.
