Hello All,
I am a current Galaxy Nexus user but I have come over here to ask a few questions in regards to the I727. My friend owns this device and has just upgraded his phone to ICS 4.0.4 (Build # IMM76D.UCLF6), and he has come to me wanting me to root his phone for him. Now just for a little background, he has never been rooted and has always run his phone stock. He updated through the Kies software. I am pretty familiar with android and the rooting process. My questions is due to the fairly recent release of ICS is there a working way to root this device?
I have briefly browsed a few of the rooting threads and to my knowledge they are only working if you are running either 2.3.5 or .6. If someone wouldn't mind shedding some light on this situation, that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Hope this helps

So maybe I am a little spoiled with having the galaxy nexus. It just seems that after viewing a few of the threads and topics, that I see a lot of issues with ppl flashing and rooting this device? Now I do understand that most issues are user error..

They are more than likely user error. But you should be fine.

Almost 99% user error from people flashing other variants of gs2 -777, Global version
Also flash cm9 on his rocket as it's insanely better than stock twiz
CM9 Skyrocket
Any recommendations for a solid custom ICS ROM???

Bacons right i havent used nexusmod but if it's half of what his gb version than it's rock stable and fast
I just prefer aosp hence cm9 love
CM9 Skyrocket
I prefer aokp. And there is info on the "brick bug" in the link I posted earlier. I would share what my understanding of it is, but I'm not so sure myself and I don't want any misunderstanding of it. So feel free to take a look.

I can't seem to find a solid answer. I'm running cleanrom 3.0 and can't seem to find a list of compatible kernels. Does anyone have a list of kernels that are compatible?

Just ask in the Rom thread

Just the stock kernel I believe. Sammy screwed up on posting source so we don't have any custom kernels that are compatible with new builds up

the kernel in my sig works just fine.
I already stated it was a mistake. I was browsing in the dev section and forgot to change over. I found a kernel that works. Mods can close this.

I've been using the Sky ICS ROM for about 4 months, loving it, works great. Wondering about the Jellybean, also Sky from Seansreamz.
Can anyone who has used both tell me if the Jellybean from Sean is as stable and ready for every day use as the ICS ROM?
Thanks

My experience with the latest T11 base has not been positive. Sean himself has said the T7 base with the matching update was practically perfect ... those can be found on goo.im, if they're no longer available here.
I prefer his newer JB version, his roms have always been the most stable for me regardless of the phone. Solid work!
I've been using Sky JB daily since Sean first created it and have had no problems.

Anyone have an opinion on battery life, Sean's ICS ROM compared to his JB ROM, assuming same usage, same power saving measures?

I have nothing but respect for seanz and everything he has done for our community. He has been with skyrocket for a long time and has contributed SOO much. That said, I haven't had a lot of luck with his roms for a while now. Could just be my device, I don't really know. I have used official Cyanogenmod for a while now and I've never had any issues. They are like butter and so clean.
I have been looking all over for the liquid smooth 4.2.2 rom that is RC2.1 and has the 3.0 kernel. I have checked the liquidsmooth website however they only have ATT and Tmobile versions. If anyone can throw me a link to this that would be amazing! Thank you
Try looking in the original development section. Seriously search man

If I've helped, please hit the thanks button.
Actually, it's not in the original development section anymore. Only the USC version. And to make matters worse, it's not on goo anymore. Hmm...Why is it you don't want to try one of the 4.2.2 roms anyway?
Disregard my stupidity. I should probably read the OP before I touch my keyboard. Anyway, it should be in Goo. Here's the link
http://goo.im/devs/liquidsmooth/d2vzw
Thank you for both of your replies. However they are both not what I'm looking good for. I am SPECIFICALLY looking good for the RC2 Liquidsmooth for Verizon. It is not version 2.2. It does not use the 3.4 kernel, it uses the 3.0 kernel.
I have found the Liquidsmooth version 2.2 very easily as it is posted every. RC2 however is not, and as such I am looking for help in finding it.

I'm looking for the RC2 version because in my opinion it is the most stable one of the 4.2.2 Roms .

Let me check my saved tom folders. You may get lucky and I may have it saved.

I'm getting spotty signal strength with asop and aokp roms
You're in luck. I actually have the v2.1 stable version in my SD card right now. I'll upload to dropbox and them pm you afterwards.
Edit: have to do it after work. 3G over here at work while there's 4G at home.

Hello, I'm not sure if there is a thread to my subject or not but anyway, I have a Galaxy S2 Skyrocket, rooted and running CM10.0 stable. My question is why does the media hub for Samsung not work, when I go to add account it says it needs to update then it freezes up. I was able to finally download the media hub apk and it runs but I can't watch anything, even my paid movies that I download won't play. I've looked everywhere please help

You need to be running a stock ROM or a stock ROM with tweaks.

Welcome to my world. It is a shame because I am betting a vanilla AOSP rom would run great on this tablet compared to the TouchWiz rom which is fine until I use it after using my Galaxy Note 2 and then it feels a bit sluggish.
I assume that the problem is the modem. I am not sure if flashing a ROM for one of the wifi models will boot. I am scared to try.

Just wondering if there is any change. Or maybe someone that is working on a rom for this. Thanks
You are lucky. At least you have JB. I have the ATT I497 and it still has ICS. Been trying to find out if I could at least install your ROM on my tablet but no one ever answers. Development is dead for these 2 versions.
