Quick question - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

I am still kinda new to this and the AOKP ROM...I saw some mods earlier on her transparent contacts and transparent mms and a status bar tweak that I would really like to try out... My question is where do I put the. Zip files and how would I flash them from CWM, please help?

No...you got the wrong impression from that or maybe i worded it wrong...the mods are all .apk files. i know where to stick the .zip for flashing roms im not that much of a noob. im just unsure where to stick the .apk....my bad after re-reading what i wrote i completely wrote it wrong.

Use root explorer delete old version of apk then move new apk to system/app fix permissions then reboot

Thank you very much. anything else I should know with other modding files and such? sorry I'm just really curious. I love this ROM but I'm learning a bunch of new things as well. I hate asking questions but would flip ape ish if i bricked my phone.

Questions are fine but always search before making a new thread 99% of all questions possible have been answered

And he doesn't mean fix permission with ROM manager. Also don't forget to change owners to "root"

understood thanks...
I cant post a reply in any of the cm10 threads so I'll ask here...and I know why I can't post its well understood...that being said
My questions are...I see there is a 8/7 build for cm10 as cm10 beta...I am running alpha a1...is the alpha a1 more stable than beta?
Also in that thread it was mentioned that the camera on the 8/7 build was not working but it works just fine on alpha a1 which is why I asked the question above.
Im sure through all of that you all know what I am asking.
Just need some info.
I like the feel of this rom its very well built....big thanks to the developers
And my last question right now is does anyone know what will be added to this rom in the coming future aside from fixes....
I.e. mods tweaks etc?
Next device I will be playing with will be the galaxy note anyone have one and have any tips on what may be not so good about that device?
Thanks in advance for all the help and tips from everyone who responds or has responded...greatly appreciated and again sorry for all the noobie questions.
:good:

[Theme]ICS theme[UCKK1, KK2,KK4,KL2]14-toggles fully themed

i have pulled all these pngs from many, many ics themes to make my own for the stock roms who don really want to flash a custom rom.
Toggles include reboot, download and recovery for those on stock that dont have an extended power menu, one flash and now you do..
Instructions:
Place zip on sd card
wipe cache and dalvik cache
fix permissions
flash theme
reboot
this is intended for non-themed stock roms, if you flash over any of the themed roms you will probably have issues. I am just giving love to the ones who like the stock functionality but want a little ICS eye candy, and handy toggles. Youve been warned! If you flash over themed custom rom and then have issues and force closes , i dont want to hear it..thank you
Once again i am not responsible if your phone melts...
This theme features 14 toggles(hard coded in by me)no external app
ICS bootanimation
ICS transition animations
Themed apps include:
Voice search
Voice recorder
tw calaender
twcalculator
tw30 launcher
SystemUI
Sound player
Settings(lockscreen menu in but not working yet, still modifying jars)
settings provider
Phone
music player
media provider
MMS
LatinIME

No...need to flash one of the links I mentioned bro

ok cool..thanks !!
just in case any of you were thinking of trying this out on custom rom regardless of instructions, I already tried on Infused 2.3 and it gives bootloop after flash. =/
Edit: Also will let you know that this will result in needing to reflash back to stock then to the custom rom you had before. So dont try it if you havent backed anything up. I only did this because I was already backed up and was planning on flashing back to Froyo anyways. So i just took a chance on it. Now flashing Infused 1.6 as we speak.
Infuse 2.3 is not even close to UCKK1, 2, 4 or UCKL2....that's why I specifically clarified that in op...so this question wouldn't arise...but yet it did anyway....go figure

He said that he tried regardless of instruction. he wasnt asking a question. He actually read the op. I understand that its annoying when people dont follow directions, but you need to give people the benefit of the doubt. We all appreciate the work you do, and it would be easier if you just ignored the posts that you didnt like. And please try to read what others post carefully before responding in a negative way. thanks again for all that you do
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium
The reason I put it in the op is so these questions wouldn't be asked..period...but people don't listen...I wasn't being hateful...but I post as much in the op so people wont ask a question they know the answer too....anyone who reads the op should automatically know that it wont work with infused rom...so the question or comment should have never been posted. That's why I commented...I don't know how much more clearer I can make the op be...but I will edit the op with a list of roms this is compatible with so this does not come up again.

I think you are misunderstanding me. I was just trying to tell you that he wasnt even asking a question. he read the op and knew that the theme wasnt designed for infused, but he tried it out to see if it could possibly work and then posted to let everyone else know not to try it.

This..........
Would it be possible for you to maybe ppost links to individual apks that might work (albeit in a standalone method) with Infused 1.6 (Froyo)? or any custom rom for that matter. Such as links to the dialer apk, boot animation, etc. Maybe the thread could just be turned into a repository for such links along with your project. It just seems useless to post something that can only be installed on stock devices considering that probably most people on these threads have a custom rom on their infuse. Dont mean to be rude or anything either at all. Thanks though!

This is for the stock roms that were posted in the op. If you are not on those roms look else where or make your own. Your asking someone to make things just for you. It's not useless for the people who run stock roms. Your post was a little rude.

Yep...most people do run custom Rome that are fully themed...but there are a few that do run stock rooted roms and are happy that way....this is for them...they need some love too...this ain't Burger king...

problems found on LINK UP[ROM][CWM] updated 12/23/2011 | AOSP Style 2.1 | KJ6}

I installed this rom ( LINK UP[ROM][CWM] updated 12/23/2011 | AOSP Style 2.1 | KJ6} ) and got into lots of bugs so I'm gonna share it here what I did to fix it
1. Root was not working properly can't get permission from superuser
FIX: (I have to root the phone again with superoneclick 1.6.5 is the only one working for me)
2. SU binary won't update missing md5 blablabla cannot remember what it was
FIX: (I installed busybox to fix the missing file)
3. Android Keyboard force close error (the application android keyboard process com.android.inputmethod.latin)
FIX: (I look for gingerbread keyboard and flashed it)
You should post in the rom's thread so that the author takes notice.
EDIT
Just noticed you don't have enough posts to post in the dev section yet.
Try PM'ing him a link to this thread I guess.
Have you tried a data wipe and then reflashing? I was on that rom with no issues
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
Yeah, I had no problems with this ROM either... It's great, actually.
Rather than creating a thread saying that this person's ROM creates problems, PM is the best choice. Especially if you've read through the ROM thread and did not see a bunch of complaints.

Maybe you should post this info in the OP of your development thread so you don't have to keep telling people. it first look like you ever update it and I wouldn't expect many folks around here to read the entire thread even though they should. maybe you should Post a section about other suggestions such as update to the new kernel and that the keyboard fc is a known issue. Btw, in observation, it looks like you might be starting to understand why people ask you to keep quiet about cm variations un less you have some development to offer

I was on KD1 rom and reset my phone to factory settings delete cache in cwm and installed the rom. that what I did. and for the android keyboard I was gonna post the link for android keyboard here where I got it but it won't let me

Being on froyo and flashing a GB ROM may have been the "root" of your problems. Try my upgrade guide then re flash the ROM and give us an update

so far im not getting any issue going on right now after the fix I did.
I also have some question I have a Samsung Vibrant (T959) which has Bionix V based on froyo I believe and I really like it so I just wanna know if there's a rom like that for Galaxy S 4G? I've tried to flashed the bionix frost but I didn't like the custom theme running on proluncher and I don't like apps running in the background I like my phone on stock theme
EDIT: I didn't like the music player that comes on this AOSP syle rom I like the one that comes with the bionic V that I have on my Vibrant and I tried to install that music player apk I took from my vibrant to my galaxy s 4g but Im getting force close error is there a way to make it work?

Flash alternate kernels and system apps?

Hi, dont know if this has been asked before, but it's there a way to somehow install another kernel (maybe overclocked) instead of the current kernel? And I like the HTC camera present in Sense ROMs instead of the camera in MIUI (my current ROM) or in Cyanogen ROMs. Can I install the HTC camera over my current one?

First of this should be in the Q & A section and the search function isn't broken but here is a kernel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1078049
Just flash it in recovery like a ROM. Be sure to wipe cache and salvia prior to flashing.

Yes just look for compatible kernel for your rom and flash, backup first.

The search button is yours and everyones friend. I can say never once did I started a new thread asking a question that's already been asked. Actually the only thread I've ever started was one thanking the devs and the people making guides on how to do anything with this phone. This is my 1st android and I've flashed a few ROMs and kernels in the few months Ive had it cause of the info I found here. And I've never had any problems. All the info you'll ever need(and some you dont) is on XDA. And if after a relentless search for your question leads to nothing, then by all means ask away. Not tryin to hate, just stating facts
Thanks creglenn. I can never seem to find the right section to post in. il look there.

Status Error 7 Problem

I have a Samsung Galaxy SII Skyrocket for AT&T. I have been rooted for a year now. I have installed a ton of roms over this time period.
However, now, everytime I try to install a ROM I always get the Status 7 Error message.
-I have wiped the phone 3-4 times before attempting to install a rom
-I updated CWM to 6.0.1.3 (latest version)
-I have installed a kernel first before attempting to install a ROM
-I have used a MacBook and a regular PC desktop to download the ROMs
I did everything above to try and see if the different ways work, but nothing did.
Now I can't use my phone since I can't install a ROM. Could someone please help?
Thank you in advance!

Here are my few suggestions:
Might try using odin to go back to stock. The sticky threads around here should be helpful for that.
Have you tried TWRP? Or sk8r's CWM touch? Some people have better luck with one recovery over others.

Take out the top couple lines involving the word assert and showing a model number
It happens due to ROM makers putting that in to protect from bricks there is normally a toggle in recoveries to ignore it
Edit: in the time its taken to make all those posts you could have Google searched and had it fixed in about 5 mins

Negative. I did a ton of thread digging, I know I can just revert back to original rom with ODIN, but I'd rather not do it. I am looking for the simplest answer so that I can create a thread about it for people who do not want to search for hours and complete those lucrative tasks.
Also, MOST answers are like yours; they tell people what to do, but if people don't understand the 'lingo', the answer is useless. People need/want specifics, and that is what I am trying to do in the thread I am going to create. People shouldn't have to dig in threads with over 100+ pages.
Thank you for your help though.

Best ROM to Flash?

Sorry for cluttering this up with such a basic question, but I have no idea what to do. I'm a total newbie to this and there are like fifty thousand ROMs to choose from in the ROM section.
I'm just looking for something clean and simple which will minimize battery usage as much as possible and possible speed things up. I wanted to use NeatROM, but it doesn't look like you can use it on the Skyrocket.
Thanks for any help!
No best ROM thread. Just read,read again, and read one more time then nandroid, then start flashing have to learn on your own at somepoint. I.e. start with slimbean then work your way down to others
+1. And do a lot of reading first. Only flash roms you find in the i727 xda development forum. Neat rom is not one of them and you most likely will brick your phone flashing the wrong rom.

Oh ya random question... can the ROM affect the quality of music playback?
Yes it can and the best one IMHO for that is CyanogenMod. Do not try beats audio drivers, they make it sound bad. And CM has a DSP app that handles sound for you. Any other suggestions from anyone else to help our new friend decide?
:beer:
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
Ah ok great thanks.
I was considering CyanogenMod, UCM1, and SlimBean... so maybe I'll just go with CyanogenMod. I listen to music all the time so I want something decent.
