[Q] Galaxy Skyrocket Custom Rom

Hello All,
I am a total newbie to all of this, I just bought a Galaxy s2 Skyrocket. I managed to find good info on how to root it and did that with something called superoneclick. So it is showing rooted with out the yellow triangle. Now for my question.
There are so many custom roms out there i have no clue what to do. All i am really looking for is a custom rom that will let me do the following if it is possible, wifi tethering, custom bootanimation and if it will let me overclock. And I guess something that is stable as i see mentioned on here a lot.
Anyway anyone that has time to help a newbie I would really appreciate it. There is a lot of great info on here but most of it is written for people that at least have a clue about this stuff.
Most of all i want to say thank you to anyone who is willing to help me in advance. And if you don't feel like helping a newbie I do understand that also.
Thank You

I like skyROCKeteer. It's a good, stable, custom rom. It'll suit all your needs. Check it out. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19279400

First of all thank you for your reply. Am I reading this correct that I install version 2.0 and then install the addons and fixes? Or will everything be fine with the 2.0 and the fixes are already in there. Sorry to be so much trouble some of it is just confusing to me and I dont want to brick "i believe that is the correct term" my phone.
Thank You

SkyRocketeer and Sky Ice Cream Sandwich are pretty good. Next one I will be testing out will be the Red Sonja!

Red sonja is the best. Completly stable and fast. Vibrate does not work. But other then that its its perfect.

I'm using Super Stock 2.3.6. It's a rather bare bones ROM that is close to stock but with a few tweaks and removals of stuff like bloatware and other things. Overall I'm satisfied. I'm using this until the AOSP is released and some of the other ROMs become a bit more stable.

I'm using Sky Ice Cream Sandwich, it's my daily driver. Whichever rom you install, make sure you follow the dev's instructions. Only install roms for skyrocket, very important.

Most Roms in the Dev section are Stable-ish.
Red Sonja is probably the MOST stable in my OP.....less vibration, you dont have to do any work arounds, no extra flashing less the 4 intitial flashes( really 2 flashes if you dont want the comic pages)
but after that, everything is working as it would be on stock.

Thank You
First of all again thanks to everyone that gave me advise. I know have my first custom rom on my phone with the addons that looked interesting. Also a custom kernel.
I only have one question if i decide to try another rom, is there a way to go back to the way i have my phone now with out doing each step again. Like if i use the backup feature in CWM, If i do a restore will that put it back the way it is now.
Thank you ALL !!!!!

That's the point of doing the Nandroid backup. It'll restore your phone to how it was. At least that's what it's supposed to do. I honestly can't attest to it because I've never had to do it *knock on wood*

[Q] Mods, Stable Rom/Kernel combos, Scripts ect?

Okay so I am new to the Nexus S 4g (crespo 4g) and i'm just wondering what some good ROM/kernel combos are, I'm currently running paranoidandroid and it's not bad but i want more speed, also the RAM on this phone isn't that great so are there any ram scripts available? and since there's no ext sd is there anyway to partition so i can move apps/data/cache to sd? I work so much I don't have time to thoroughly search for this info like I used to be able to... Thanks in advance

As far as the kernel goes, i have always stuck with matr1x. there are quite a few rom options out there but my top pics are AOKP and Euroskank kangs. Also Rascream is definitely worth checking out. I would recommend running the phone without scripts at first so you have a baseline then if you add scripts later, youll know if they are working or not later on. Not sure about moving apps/data/cache. good luck

Help!
I have been experimenting with a lot of ROMS on my Rooted Nexus S (I9023) and so far haven't been able to find a single stable ICS ROM!
Frustrated with my experience, I went back to stock GB ROM which has now got automatically upgraded to ICS (4.0.4).
However, since the time the ICS upgrade has been done, I am unable to flash clockwokmod recovery on my phone! Even superuser permissions don't seem to work!
Can someone please help me with this problem & also suggest a stable ICS ROM with everything working?
Thanks!

hi mate, I've been running Codename 2.0 for past 3 months ( prior JB), never had a single issue, no reboots and other crap, only issue is that ur start up tweaks don't stay after reboot.
Btw rom has been left without support.

Jelly Bean Miui?

Is there by any chance an miui rom based off of jelly bean is in the works for the nexus s?

Not yet. I've been lurking around miui homepage and miuiandroid but says nothing about it. But I'm pretty sure they'd get it out pretty soon.

I don't think the guys at MIUI will release their JB ROM until it's near perfect. probably working on it as we speak.

The ROM wouldn't boot if it didn't come with it's own kernel.

EVery ROM comes with its own kernel which will overwrite what ever you have previously. MIUI just had a major theme comp, therefore likely to stay on V4 until at least end of the year. Also, MIUI says that their ROMs or rather the kernel is at 60fps, it should be similar to the smoothness on JB project butter. you won't miss out much if you use MIUI.

Thx for all of your answers, i just installed it... miui kernel doesnt have voodoo sound

you can install 3rd part kernel , just make sure don't use JB kernel on the ICS ROM or otherwise

My inside source is saying we should get JB next week (2.8.24). That said we were supposed to get the sg Note rom 5 weeks before it actually got shipped so grain of salt...
More like bag of salt.

Xxx oops! accidentally beamed from my awesome NEXUS S! xxX

http://miuiandroid.com/community/threads/miui-rom-2-8-17-changelog-and-jellybean.17607/ changelog released and the rom release status pending

MIUI rom is worst rom I ever used... It looks like freaking copy of ios and also very slow. Last time I flashed MIUI ICS to try it for the first time, it broke my radios. I tried flashing another roms but none of the radios were working even on stock roms and I spend so much time trying to fix it manually %&()#@

have a look miui jb

i tried it the memory drain is the same as the ics(xiaomi fix your [email protected]@@ scheduler in order to kill at list 1 up with out the need to slow down like hell and force the user to use the task manager)it work a bit faster thanks to butter but if they don't fix there issues miui will die before the end of the year even in one x(as far as i heard in forums) the rom is slow as hell because of the faulty management system of the rom, the 110-150 mb that are left free in nexus are far from enought to use apps or play heavy games the problem is that after a while the memory goes full on it's own and in the task manager all the apps+the game eat almost 350 mb so where are the other 150mb?

i made a thread, plz post ther
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1839927

Opinion: Which ROM are you using..??

Hi Guys,
Can we share / Suggest which ROM we are using..??
As we know Many questions will arise:
Q. 1) Why I made this thread..??
A. For sure, We can discuss here what features we are availing in which ROM.:good:
Q. 2) Who will be most beneficial for this thread..??
A. 2 .Specially Noobs / Newbies will come to know that Which ROM are suitable for them & why.
Just like me:
I am using Angeek ROM. Its Awesome in Battery Life. Using MIUI home launcher in it, looking like real one. But I am unable to flash Ardatdat's new kernels due to some changes done in this ROM.
Don't know what is in my Mind Now but I thought we should share our thoughts here.
This thread is not Made to Dominate our Dev's. If any Dev feels so then I can ask MOD to Close this one.
Also, Note that "You're sharing opinions, not facts." Any suggestion would be welcomed. :highfive:

Just something to keep in mind with threads like these, Vikesh:
This thread should not be used to 'advertise' any one Developer's products. I have no issue with the thread staying, provided this is the only one made, and that it's used by you guys to simply share what ROMs you're using. No links etc.
Posting what works for you is fine. Posting 'why would you use that crap' though, is most definitely not.
Remember, this is a subjective thread. You're sharing opinions, not facts.
Keep that in mind, and enjoy :good: I'll keep an eye out here, too.

Yeah u are rite games r much smoother in gb as compared to ics.

currently on BlueBerry ROM 1.2, found it very stable and with no major bugs. and right now really in Love with Sensation theme of BB (though there is no blue in this theme still it is called BB )
Since it is an opinion oriented thread, I would like to say few word about other ROMs which I have tried so far.
Mazel 2 : It felt very smooth with different animations and theming, though it had bugs but now it has been resolved.
Suggestion : Hoping Selva to release next ROM based on XXLQ9.
Angeeks : This ROM is very Powerful (Battery life :good::good, bug-free and smooth,
Suggestion : Make it kernel friendly and ability to update GAPPS via Play Store.

its all right buddy. actually this thread is being watched by our great MOD "Justin". So, any comment which is not acceptable by him can close this whole thread. Thats why I said you buddy. I didn't mean that..Sorry If I hurt you..:crying:

I'm using TheFrankenstain mod 4.0.2 with some custom additions like BlueBerry mod or my kernel and I'm very satisfied with it.
MIUI is also very good, I really like it.
Mazel II: It drains my battery because of the nice animations and transitions, so I cannot use it as I don't bring my charger.
GS3: It has very good conception behind it and it's quite promising despite the fact that the gallery and music doesn't work. If I didn't like it, I wouldn't have created a repack of it.

I'm assuming you're running stock Gingerbread? I'm not sure how the stock AT&T ICS ROM was, but a lot of people that upgraded to the Rogers ICS ROM ran into performance issues (including myself). If you like your phone's configuration now, stick with it. If you think you're ready for something different, definitely check out some of the great ROMs around here.
For a while, I was on SkyICS. Great ROM, no issues whatsoever. I'm now running Liquid JB and, again, I haven't run into any issues with it. The devs here are awesome.
And I personally love the feeling of being free from bloatware. :good:

thank you so much ,big help man. and yes it is stock at&t . but i am gonna try and remember how to root it again. is odin still the way to root these things . i probably gonna have to read up a bit. but thx alot once again

I'm not an expert or anything so I'd advise you to read the sticky threads, even watch some tutorials on YouTube. Get confident before you flash. I don't flash very often so I get sweaty-palmed whenever I do.
I don't think it matters what ROM you have right now. Just install a custom recovery with ODIN and you can get flashing to whatever ROM you like in the Skyrocket development forum. Again, read and reread the thread.
Have fun!

i will man , reading now . but thx for all the input

You should incrementally step up from gb, to ics, to jb. Doesn't matter if you do stock ICS or custom, but I remember reading from someone much smarter than myself, that you had to be on ics b4 jumping on the jb bandwagon.
I must say though, if you decide to make the jump to custom, no matter what rom you choose you should have a good experience. We have some really good devs here and interest seems to really be ramping up on the skyrocket forums lately. In just the last month or so, we've had 3-4 major roms go official for skyrocket, and we have some great ports and variants of others.
If you like a stock experience with a bit of customization and good tweaks, check out embryo or sky ICS. Both are VERY solid roms. Feeling a bit adventurous but wanna stick to ics? Try out aokp milestone 6 or cm9 stable. Feeling downright ready for a crazy fun experience, try out any of the jb ROMs on here. I have probably tried them all, and they are pretty dang solid. I'm currently running slim bean and its great so far, but others have been fantastic as well. Orthus is a battery beast! I was consistently getting 17 hours with 5-6 hours of screen on time with that one. Aocp is fun and offers a ton of customization options. CM10 is a pretty safe bet as well. Hell, they are all good! Just Try them and you'll find one you like.
Happy flashing!

Have you tried stock ICS yet? If not, give it a try before you flash another rom. You just may like it.
Stock ICS on my S3

its always best to do some reading before you do some flashing and customizing yes there gonna be some " hiccups" but thats even with factory software. In my opinion root is always best because it give you the capability as the user to modifiy your phone to how you want it not how the company who sells u it wants it. and coming from GB to ICS was better then candy at the birthday party battery performance, better response was awesome and now since im on JB i even find myself out performing even some of the more recent Stock phones.
ultimately its ur decision but until you actually experience the difference we can only tell you on ours.
Roms that performed well for me:
GB=NexusMod
ICS= Embryo and SkyICS
JB= Slim Bean
go nuts

ok i rooted it today and am currently on the gb nexus mod, seems pretty cool . i have a couple of questions and i hope they are not ridulous sounding. first my 4g icon is replaced with h+. i am not in a 4g area anyway so its not really an issue unless it shouldnt have changed. the other thing is i dont know how to get to my external sd card files now. i used to access it from apps/files folder/external sd. but now i cant find that either. once again no biggie just had a apps restore on it .i can redownload the from play store but i would rather not.

Well there's cm10...

i did the ota update to ICS then I installed CWM thru Odin and then I installed a custom rom. the skyrocket is one of the easiest phones to root, upgrade roms and go back to stock if needed. i like Orthus for JB.

i was looking into the jelly bean roms and to tell you the truth they look like there is alot more to do on a install, is there any out there that dont have like 5 different things to install. i know about wiping and all that but i am afraid i would leave something out that i need if it aint included on the rom. i know it sounds stupid but is there a jb rom thats a put on root of internal sd ,wipe a couple times and install, lol

Jb roms aren't very stable. If you rely on your phone for work, alarms, and general stability I wouldn't use a jb Rom.

i was looking into the jelly bean roms and to tell you the truth they look like there is alot more to do on a install, is there any out there that dont have like 5 different things to install. i know about wiping and all that but i am afraid i would leave something out that i need if it aint included on the rom. i know it sounds stupid but is there a jb rom thats a put on root of internal sd ,wipe a couple times and install, lol
