AOKP JB [strike]discussion[/strike] [insert]Q&A[/insert] thread - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

I am starting this thread to maintain discussion of AOKP jb. Hopefully to pick up where the development thread left off. I'm not sure exactly why that thread is locked but I know that r4ins has NOT stopped developing AOKP for the skyrocket and it would still help progress that development if there were still a place to discuss. (I think it would also be best NOT to mention the circumstances that led to the locking of the AOKP development thread elsewise this one will likely end up locked shortly thereafter as well)
You can find r4ins builds in his goo.im folder. Since this isn't his thread there are no constraints on what will be considered "official r4ins approved releases". Basically anyone that downloads from there is testing. And other users can decide to run a build or not based on the discussion here. There's no lack of people willing to test a new AOKP build, so hopefully we can still post our findings here for other users. Kinda like baconstep's cm9 nightly discussion thread, except it's for us AOKP buttlings.
I didn't ask r4ins permission to start this thread but since we all creep his goo folder looking for new builds anyway, and we can't talk about it there, this would be the best place for it.
Link to r4ins goo.im folder:

Just make sure anything you download says SKYROCKET on it.
Test builds will be labeled as such for those wary of flashing something not completely tested, builds deemed "stable" by r4ins and the testers will be dated.
You can get an idea of what changes might be included with each build by checking out this site: http://gerrit.sudoservers.com/#/q/status:merged,n,z

I've said it before and I'll say it again. This place is like Hotel California: You can check out but you can never leave.
Not being able to off-topic your own thread is crap but such is life. Still not really sure what a certain MOD was thinking there but I'm sure he was just doing his job. Half of what made your thread so enjoyable was some off-topicness. It's nice not to see people so damn serious all the time in a dev thread. Let it blow over than make your decision. Stay or go you still get a ton of respect from me for your work here so far. Thanks and see you soon.

Thanks guys, yes im still working on skyrocket, i did not and will not abandon you. I was just unhappy with the how things were going in the thread and my inability to have the fun and friendly banter i so much enjoyed.
But as boobah said, we shouldnt discuss it. The builds are up, and new ones will show up from time to time. I didnt leave you guys behind, but XDA may get left behind.

RAINS.
Can you Please let us know the address of your folders (web)?
So far I can only find the sept 9 builds. I can only get up to speed and continue submitting the bugs I find.

Well if you do head over to Rootz or somewhere else let us know. A few other people have left for greener pastures **cough*whitehawks*cough**and seem to be happy with there choice. And thanks for the thumbs up on pulling from you're goo folder. I hate when people do that without getting the OK first.

R4ins, you're awesome! I'm getting 14+ hours out of a single charge with normal to heavy use (calls, texts, data on, games, etc.) on the sep 9.2 build. Great build.
How are people getting 2 days on a charge? Or is that bs?

Bugs for 2012-09-14-2
Unfortunate enough, I am still getting ramdom shutdowns with AOKP. Version 2012-09-14-2 didnt improve in that area.
1 crash while the phone on top of my desktop and an incoming call arrived.
2 crashes while doing nothing other than moving the app drawer.
Samsung logo appears, and the screen goes black. Need a force rebook to get the phone working.
Going back to Samsung Stock ICS , Certainly these AOKP are plain fast, but as I depend a lot on my mobile phone, I need it to be stable

If you wait too long and it picks up mobile data it wont ask for wifi. If you hit next, and yes to the gmail account really fast before data kicks in it will ask for wifi. I'm a crack flasher so i have that down pat lol.

Just say no to all that stuff and get to your home screen. Then sign into WiFi, then sign into Google. That's what I always do

One: by steering clear of smurfs village,
Two (and more substantially): by being connected to WiFi for two days. I usually only have to charge once on weekends, but during the work week I tend to get around 8-10 hours with maybe an hour and a half at most of screen on time.

But i have to protect them from Gargamel. So wifi uses less battery than data? Ill give it a try thanks. And thanks for starting this thread.

Thank you so much for your work R4IN you have brought much knowledge to our forums and left the influence of SUSE! Haha I have been on your AOKP rom since you released it and will continue to be! Don't let the less intelligible bring you down!
Not sure if this would be a luxury or not but could you make it where when a quick reply is made, it is cleared off of the notifications? Or better yet appoint me to where I can learn on implementing that!

Hint: Before you sign into google pull down the notification bar. turn on wifi then long press it. Pick your network. Enter password. Watch it connect to wifi. I can't be the only one who's figured that out can I?

I wouldn't blame you at all, man.
Downloading 9-14-2 to flash later. I had flashed the 1st 9-14 (dirty) and that didn't work out too well.. just a lot of flicker, and kind of janky all around. But it's cool, it wasn't ready anyhow.

So, is 9-14-2 the newest or is it still in the testing phase?

Radio leak / removed threads

A few threads have been removed the past few hours. These are regarding a leaked radio which is known to brick devices and has been taken from a compromised server.
Reposting will not be tolerated. Distribution through PM, or even hinting that you may be available to spread it through PM or other methods, will be treated as open reposting. "Vacations" will be dealt out to those who do so.
This is both for your own good as for the good of others. Some of you are able to read between the lines - I have read it in your posts - and good for you.
Have patience, it will come.
if you build it they will come...
Thanks for posting. This should really be a stickied topic as its a highly talked about subject.

bamf team is coming out with a new sense 3.0 rom(there is a preview zip available in the bamf 2 beta thread) so im guessing there is something coming soon, he seemed to stop once the brick issue came about, so why else would they and others update and create new roms for GB radios.
It wont brink you, its just to protect sources and legal issues probably. Im using it and its much better than the first leak, only got one reboot in the few hours my phone was on

The fact that we have an MR2 Radio means GB could be right around the corner. I have had one reboot with it, (although that might have been a fluke, as the phone had 3% battery left), and so far it is very stable, and I wouldn't be surprised to see an official build out soon.

Crack Flashers come take a look

First of all I am by no means a developer, I want to start getting into it though so I just want to try to put a little something out there which is by no mean ground breaking there are tons of better options I am sure. I am building it off the 2.11 leak and I am currently taking out some of the fat and adding HTC custom kernel. I am searching around other roms peaking here and there just for ideas, again I am building off leak not coping anyone's work. I want to know if any one has any ideas to what .apk they want in and which ones they want removed. I am not much of a facebook person I would take all that crap out. This is going to be close to stock so it going to be for people who dont want to much custom and want to stay close to home. I also want to know if there is demand for any of these ROMs. I know people crave update after update but this will prob not be updated till the offical OTA comes out. I am just building this for myself and want to know if anyone want to try it also. I added back in WiFi teather and I also removed the TetheringGuard.apk which I have noticed some developers have left in place to keep these kinda apps from working. Again I can read inside the forum and see there are plenty of ROMs is anyone looking for a ROM like I am building. I will have it done in a few days I dont want to rush it and be crappy. I am also working on including a theme with it so if I do that may take a little longer. Theme will be based on Green which will blend in with the name of the ROM. If I see some yes answers and there is enough of them I will add my ROM no longer than a week from now under the name Gr33n3nvy with the 3's being in honor of DT whos work and lack of developing knowledge prior to building got me into this. I dont have Chingy on speed dial so please be easy with the comments LOL. More will come as soon as I read all the web sites I have people sending me.
Good luck dude, cant wait to see it Chingy has been very helpful to those looking to get started.

I would try to hit him up but even DT was saying he gets really busy. Maybe on my next one I just want to see what I can do on my own before I start doing custom stuff to it. I will def need some help by then. I am bringing my lap top to work next 6 days to just tinker around with some of the stuff. I am hoping a week will be enough time to get what I want done to it. So far just getting some ideas to what people want who dont want tooo much custom.

Depends on how much help I get, I learn very quickly I got straight A's in college for my medical field and didn't know anything about it. I taught myself everything I know about computers which includes a wide range of things. I am not bragging by no means since so many people know way more than me but I have only got into this but instead of just riding the train I want to learn to give back as well. So far its nice that even some of the senior people here are taking an interest to my post

If I'm wrong I apologize but from the little i have done in making stock roms is if you take out the Tetheringguard apk, the verizon hotspot will not work. I just mention this because I have had alot of requests to keep it in because alot use the official verizon hotspot. It doesnt affect wifi tethering apk either way from what I can tell. Just wanted to throw this FYI out there to you.
Again if I missed something & I'm wrong, my apologies...

No need for apologies I was looking it up cause the name itself made me think what is this. I looked it up on Google and just posted what I read. I know something prevents you from downloading tether apps cause on my Rom listed below I can't download any of them I have to place on SD card and install them. I am learning here so any information is welcome

It seems that in some alternate reality it is acceptable to assume that "in your spare time" means cancel all of your plans and get used to fluorescent lighting because daylight is just the glare on your computer screen. Either way, I am downloading some 2 gigs of random ICS stuff and finally received my replacement Macbook, so between projects I will try to get something moving on this.
You rock! Subscribing.
Right now all I have is the sdk version from RootzWiki, which appears was a post of just the modified boot. I have a few Nexus4g builds that claim to work. I have a rebuilt boot image and I am trying to pack all of it together and see what happens so I know where to start.

I guess if you didn't see the previous thread, which was more or less a rick-roll youtube video that said it isn't possible to get anything running, then an understandable first reaction is to make rude comments...
But if you read the thread you are responding to, you would have seen that on the Nexus it is a working build, capable of being used as more than just a proof-of-concept. Then again, I don't expect people to read these days because they are too busy writing...

Best leave the developing to the developers and stop back when there is something to load up and complain about
So getting an SDK port working on a Nexus S is the same as getting it to run on the ThunderBolt?
I'm not saying it isn't possible though I highly doubt it will work. I'm saying don't call it the "Real Deal".

This is real ICS development, and not a prank so it is as the title says "ICS Development (Real Deal)"
And no, getting a port working on the Nexus S is not the same as getting it to work on the Thunderbolt, which is why there isn't a file in that first post yet. I think you are assuming that the only thing available is the SDK image, though, when the full system dump is out there also.
My previous statement still stands.. Why don't you go shake down some kids for their script source, and come back when there is something here to test.

You do know downloads, packing, transferring, uploading, etc do run in the background right? I remember back when threads like this rallied up support and assistance instead of whatever you call what you're doing... For the record I am waiting on a data wipe and a lot of stuff is still installing since the computer only came yesterday.
I can just toss up every little edit I test and brick phones all day long, or I can document the process and release when it hits milestones. That way I can catch input along the way and prevent a lot of wasted time.
Just swapped the boot on the posted Nexus build, changed over all the apn info, and added in all the keylayout and hardware files. Going through and finding everything that needs to be swapped for a straight port, then if it runs I will post up the progress.

Whether you get anywhere or not, good luck
Nothing wrong with doing something just for the challenge of having said you did it and the experience.
I am glad to see someone putting some real effort into getting an ICS port going. And appreciate you posting your progress here along the way. I'm interested in seeing how you get where you get.
Good Luck
As already mentioned, this thread is for relevant discussion of the upcoming port.
If you have nothing constructive to contribute then keep it to yourself.
No *****ing and whining about the probable lack of functionality, no pestering for ETA's and no petty personal playground nonsense.
No more warnings​If this goes off topic again then there will be repercussions​.

Thanks. The good news is that I have a shopping list of what has been changed to go from sdk to working port. The bad news is that I also have a project due Thursday that I need to actually spend some time with.
For anyone with the sdk build, make sure before even trying to run it that you replace all the /system/bin files that just say toolbox with real files or set up symlinks for them. Busybox also needs to be added/replaced in /system/xbin
This will get that version to where you can run logcat and see the EGL errors, but it will also be in a condition to start tweaking files to get the touchscreen running.

I can't waaaaiiiitttt!!
Take as much time as you need! Your life is more important than this.
I am uploading what I have, but not because it is a huge step forward. I fixed all the commands and added the files that should fix the touchscreen, but didn't on this device.
This is still a step forward from the base build we currently have. At least typing a command no longer results in "toolbox" being displayed instead of results. I reverted everything I tested to make sure the only test changes were absolutely necessary to provide a solid base. I will post a link as soon as it is up.

[ROM]CM9 Unofficial Alpha 1

Hey guys,
I saw interloper posted his CM10, so I figured I should get in on the fun and post my CM9 work.
Now this is ALPHA so there are a lot of things broken. I haven't really had time to test all the things broken, but here's the short list:
Radios (all - cell, wifi, bt)
Cam
Probably accelerometer
So obviously this is NOT going to be your daily driver. This is just a preview of what is to come!
Also, if anyone has any ideas on how I can improve, please let me know! A lot of people have helped get this booting - Shabbypenguin started the ball rolling, interloper has helped with tips, and a slew of others that don't even have a Photon Q have helped me understand how to get this up and running. Of course Cyanogen for the awesome community, and Google for being the grandfather of this madness.
So it boots, but very little will work. Touch works, and any apps that don't use the above hardware should work as well. Without wifi or cell radios, the build is kinda useless - I realize this. But, I'm hoping maybe it'll attract some more developer attention - thanks!!!

Made the DL link a bit bigger...love you.
Alright, I think I have the cell radio working... Just ironing out the kinks now. Should have data et al up soon
You guys are hilarious, between this and the other threads
Love you all, looking forward to see how this progresses.
Just wandering what the current status is. Have you had anymore updates.
arrrghhh is at a loss here. He got this ting booting but doesn't know how to get things fixed. As time permits the OUDHITSQUAD will do what we can to keep working on it. No new updates right now however.

This ^^. Anyone want to help?
I could *try* and help, but my knowledge is pretty limited. I did some work on the Droid 3 from roughly a year ago up until this past March/April, so I'm not completely hopeless. But I'll try and help any way I can.
how is the work going? am really interested in getting a cm rom again

It's... not. I don't know where to go with it to be honest. It boots, the thing looks great... but very little actually works.
I really need some help with it, and no one wants to help with moto trash - trust me, I've asked in many rooms. Everyone groans when I mention moto...

Hmmm well i had the electrify/photon before this one. The big developers that were working on it were cybik,th3bill and jokersax. Have you tried asking them for advice. Th3bill seems quite friendly. Jokersax i think is still out with rl issues atm... not sure though.

This is my first Motorola device, and actually my first Android device... Most of the devs I know don't know moto...
Do you know where they hang out on IRC? I don't think I've seen any of those guys in cm-dev...

Has anyone asked hashcode if he's looked at this phone at all? I know that he's the king of moto roms, and this thing has an unlocked bootloader so it should be alot easier than other phones. Maybe start up a donation thread to get him a device to work on?
If you need any files mirrored please feel free to pm or email me I am offering free mirror hosting to developers

Next Steps to ICS ROMs

I want to start off with I am not a dev. I am merely a member of the community that wants to see progress forward toward more amazing ROMs for the Tbolt. The other thread about a new base got closed so I wanted to open this so that productive discussion could continue. I hope that the community can come together and continue to produce the quality ROMs that I've found here in the past. As I said, I'm not a dev but if there's a way for me to contribute please let me know.
Santos has put out many different great roms. Also heard ziggy has said that when the source is dropped he will make a new kernel. So that's good news. Not many devs are left as the phone is old and Santos is about the only one deving the new ics update. If the source drops might have to get another bolt to play with. I like what he did with the leaked update. Maybe once the source is released some of.the old.devs might wanna.tinker. and make a Rom for old time sakes.

From the files that I grabbed after doing the OTA I have a base OTA ROM working now, yeah me. I am going to debloat this thing now....I forgot what VZW's ICS looked like.
I am still having issues with it though, sometimes it just starts to lag a lot. As soon as I get passed the setup stuff I can check root and gets some logcat's to see what is going on.

fyi, Santod's RC6 is pretty good, it is Desensed and it is really fast. So far so good, might stick with this while I play with creating my own.

Good to hear on the base front and thanks for the recommendation on the RC6 definitely going to check it out
If anybody has questions about developing their own ROM based on the OTA, you can go ahead and ask me. My ROMs based off of the OTA are MacekMod Mecha Rebirth and Galaxy Clone (galaxy clone rebase is still in the works, dont think I have forgotten about ti )

I had headed over to your thread to download a fresh ROM for my old Thunderbolt (I've moved on, but I like keeping it up to date), but the thread is closed and the links removed. I had meant to grab it a week ago, but kept forgetting, and now it seems some drama has caused it to be removed.
So now, I see in the development section that there's barely anything modern for ICS besides that stock one that Santos has. And I'm definitely not going to register at yet another forum to access a couple extra ROM's.
Moral of the story is... I am definitely looking forward to seeing more than one solid ICS ROM here for the Thunderbolt

Well, those "couple" other roms I have, are actually 7 other roms aside from the 4 stock ones.
Of course nobody will force you to join the site or to use those roms.
It just seems to me anyway, that it may be a bit silly for someone who wants more ICS options, to not go where those options are, just because they don't want to join a FREE forum.
Anyhow, I wish you all the best on your hopes for more ICS roms for the Bolt coming here.

No need to get touchy, it's nothing against you... lol. The Thunderbolt is one of my old phones that I only use for media purposes, so it's not very high priority. If nothing happens here, I'm sure I'll eventually break down and head over there to grab one.
I'm just tired of registering at a bunch of different places just to grab a ROM, that's all. I pretty much stick to being registered here and at Rootzwiki these days, and I'll grab stuff from sites that don't require registration on rare occasion. Just a quirk of mine, that's all. No offense intended

No worries, wasn't getting touchy at all.
No offense taken.
Just simply responding to a post I had read.
People express their opinions on things here all the time, as you did.
I was just doing the same.
