i727 w/ICS 4.0.3 freezes when shutting down..?

I just updated 4.0.3 tonite, rooted, installed titanium backup, and started one by one installing my backups. I don't have anything crazy yet...angry birds, facebook, etc...(other than a couple of apps I needed like lucky patcher, busybox..etc.)
Anyway when I restart or shut down the phone, it gets stuck at the "Shutting down" screen...with no reboot.
Any suggestions or ideas before I resort to reflashing?

Known issue/bug. You can shutdown by holding the power button for 12 seconds, or install the 14 toggle mod to shutdown and reboot.

Wow awesome...the 12 second thing works fine. I was worried there for a minute, I really appreciate it!
Does it matter which mod to use? I see there's a few...

Fix for shutdown/reboot lockups
Install the updated Clockworkmod Touch 5.8.1.3 Odin from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1566613
Then install your ROM as usual and the shutdown/reboots should work!

hmm...it's about 50/50 on ppl with issues...not sure about that..
Question though...is it safe to flash this cwm over the one I currently have?
..and once I do, I shouldn't have to reflash the rom right?

Yea i had problems with 5.8.1.3. Unresponsive.
Yes you can flash recovery over each other in odin . Im using 5.5.0.4 cwm touch and its working fine. Able to do nandroid and fix permissions. This recovery is actually flashed in cwm.
No you do not need to reflash your ROM.

Have you done any mods since, meaning no other flashes of other ics Roms after or in between. My problems all started after i flashed the cwm nandroid backup in another thread. The issues followed me until i did a darkside wipe then did the odin one click and all my issues went away. Im staying here for a while. Did my nandroid backup of this to always revert to.

This is one of the known problems that sometimes occurs with the ICS leak and most things based on it. The problem is people that think they have the "know all" answer for a fix because something they did worked for them. Just because something works for you doesn't mean it will work for averyone! So it's ok to say "well, this is what worked for me...", but it IS NOT ok to tell others that it is an overall fix or that they did something wrong because it didn't work for them like it did you.
What I have found is that everytime you flash the ICS leak (or related) you might get different results, so if you really are interested in trying to get everything working, just keep flashing until it does. It might take several tries, but keep trying. This seems to be the case for many people, but I cannot promise it will work for you.

I experienced similar results, first flash was lagged to insanity. however second flash fixed this and restored the home button funtion.

The only other thing i did after the first flash was a factory reset, which in my case fixed the home button issue. Not sure if it was freezing prior to that. I may try the cache thing but its not a burdensome enough issue to reflash again. too many workarounds to redo everything again..
Didn't realize this was so common when i posted this thread..thought it was random. Now if only someone could delete it...

Same here, though I haven't tried them all, I just went back to stock, manual debloat and a couple other mods and it's good enough for me, at least until we get real CM9 or AOSP roms.
I'm really not the type to wipe my phone and flash a new ROM twice a week. I'd rather just have something that's stable and functional, and only upgrade for big stuff.

I didnt have the shutdown problem the first time I installed the original ics leak install.
But I did after I restored a backup of it.

Didn't work for me on NexusMod ICS.

Seanszcreams' newest sky ics no flash/Java

I used to be on NexusMod GB 2.3.6 and i could watch flash videos fine on the browser.
Just today i flashed sean's new sky ics ROM and all flash videos are replaced by the blue Lego-looking thing identifying no flash support.
Anyone else using his ROM having this problem?

depending of the browser you are using you need to active the option in settings. If you use chrome Flash is not supported :-(

Make sure adobe flashplayer is installed

I usually use dolphin browser and it still didn't work after I checked that flash was on.
Then I went to the stock browser, still no flash.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA

Do you have adobe flash installed?

+1 (or 2) to making sure flash is installed. Whenever I flash it shows up as an update in the store. Happens even if I run a batch restore from TiBu.

That fixed the issue, thanks a bunch guys! however, I just discovered another problem I have with the ROM and that is having no data >_>.
Just great.

Access Point Names - Tells your phone how to access data.
You really have to read Sean's post carefully to install the rom correctly. ...It's all there, so you might want to read up.
I'm a noob too but it's like you're following a recipe to bake a cake but didn't read the part about putting it into the oven. Then you question why the cake isn't cooked.

The way you related flashing a ROM to baking a cake. Genius. Absolutely genius.
Alright will do, and I'll let you know how the cake turns out.

Just follow the directions to letter, and you have no problems.

Both the flash video and the data problem are both fixed, thanks a bunch you guys.

SongPoP does not WORK!

Hey XDA members,
Ive updated to the latest SKY ICS R-3. i must say it is the best ROM I've used and always looking for the latest update.
the only problem I'm having is running Song Pop app. I'm addicted to it and SKY ICS will not let it load. it starts up and then a blue screen thats all.
any help here would be greatly appreciated

Yup. Couldn't get it to work at all on skyICS. which sucked because I wouldn't get rid of that ROM, but got JB now and it works!

I'm having the same issue. I upgraded from sky ics 4.2e to 4.2f(non dragon) and it worked on my old ROM, but not since I updated. I posted in the sky ics post earlier... no replies yet hope we can figure something out. I can even help get debug if people need it, I just don't know enough to change code... I only know Linux, not java programming.

Not yet . I posted about it twice on his ROM thread, once someone even quoted me and confirmed it doesn't work, but noone ever responded to my post . Maybe I'll try one more time.
Oh and I upgraded from 2.7A to 2.8B update, and still no go.

Maybe his update or new project coming out will fix this problem MAYBE

Currently running the newest SKY-ICS 3.0, and SongPop still does not work. Tried everything, including installing the last Adobe Flash Player with a Flash Installer. Adobe Flash Player runs just fine, but still no SongPop. Had the same problem with Screenshot from Google Play today, as far as force closing, and the same error message. Uninstalled Screenshot, and reinstalled it, works fine now. I did notice the last time I uninstalled, and reinstalled SongPop, it said a shortcut was already on my home screen, but I had just uninstalled it. Maybe it's not truly uninstalling all the way to get a fresh install. I don't know, but SongPop not working on SKY-ICS is the only thing that sucks for me.
Just for ****s n giggles, SongPop support sucks ass. I tried seeing if they knew what was up, and all they do is dance around the problem. Told them all of what was going on in my first comment on there, phone, o/s version, and exactly what was happening. The tech replies with, please reply with all of this info including SongPop username, phone, o/s, sreenshot of when it's failing. I was kinda harsh, and told him I already posted most of it in my previous post, and then sent another reply with username, and a couple screenshots. One of the blackscreen when it f/c's and another one of the error message. Next reply is, try uninstalling, and reinstalling SongPop. In my first comment, I already stated that I have done this many times, along with clearing cache, data, and even did a fresh install of this ROM to make sure none of my other apps, and or settings was screwing with it. Next reply is, We're sorry you're having this isssue, please check back often to see if your problem is fixed. Also, each time they reply to new comments, they close your help request, and mark it as solved. It took me 6 days to get told, sorry it's not working, and we'll try to fix it.

Works fine on CM10/AOKP. Sky-ICS is dead. Switch to a newer ROM.

try using the libCore.so from adobe air:
1. Install the lastet adobe air from google play
2. Copy the file libcore.so from /data/data/com.adobe.air/lib/libCore.so to /data/data/air.com.freshplanet.games.SongPop*/lib/libCore.so , you can use a file explorer like cm explorer or the terminal.
3. Start playing

I727 is Bricked ?

Hi XDA,
I have a problem with my i727 at&t, 3 days ago I upgraded to JB 4.1.2 with Kies, it's all stock ROM no root.
at the begining suddenly turned off and stayed vibrating with the dark screen, but was returning on.
But now only loads the image of Samsung and is vibrating and it does not happen there,
and try with change of battery but it seems to brick of nowhere.
any solution, or another good looking paperweight ?

Have you tried flashing the stock firmware with odin. That would be the step I'd take.

If not, I've had a similar thing happen to me several times before.
You can read about the last time it happened to me here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2403022 .
It's such a weird and unexpected thing in my mind that I totally forgot about the first time(s?) it happened.
The first time was either when the AT&T JB leaked in 2012 or when the official AT&T JB UCMC1 was released. Rogers JB RUXUMA7 is also sensitive in some weird ways.
When using the AT&T / Rogers JB roms always make sure to turn phone off by the power menu. As just pulling out the battery has bricked my phone twice (or more times when I was testing out roms) with at least the AT&T rom.
Rogers RUXUMA7 has it's own quirks, a CWM (both older and newer version) backup of this rom restored will have gallery and phone forceclosing. Even with wiped data & cache for those particular apps..
