Just bought a used skyrocket only problem is the battery door got Lil scratches (already order new one on eBay for 5 bucks) but got it for a sweet 200! So people its already rooted (he said he used super one click) stock recovery and on 2.3.6 is it hard to install roms on here and any good ones?

All the roms are good and their not very hard to install. Make sure you do your fair share of reading. All the info you need are in these forums. Look at the sticky threads in each section. Good luck

Looking good!
im using skymod 5.1. uses Apex launcher and is fairly stable...thing is you never know with ROMs based on leaked code if it's the dev or just bugged ICS code.
ill i really want is an experience that's just pure Android, no UI BS...just pure. I miss my Nexus One for that exact reason.
Here's all the ROMS for skyrocket: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1383464
I'm running ICS RC7.4 Speed though: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377087
Yes so many ICS roms yet they ain't stable for DD right? Also feel so dumb and totally forgot the the rocket has nfc. So far reading no ics rom has that working correct? I'm assuming that one we get a official release of ICS then nfc should work?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
1) nfc works
2) many people use it as a dd, no fcs or instabilities, just a few tiny bugs, that may or may not annoy (shutdown/reboot anyone?)

As well as the ROMS this "all in one location" helped me it links how to Root (different methods) one click works best for me, talks about kernals, ODIN return to stock, and much more.
As always READ READ READ. I read for about 2 months. Was rooted, downloaded an app that borked my modem. Knew exactly where to go to return to stock......
OK have to look at it ICS some more just loving alien#6 to much with faux kernel!
But anybody recommended a ICS that's pretty stable and has nfc working?

Currently on SKY ICS UCLD2 by seanzscreams.
It's pretty good but read and reread the instructions he posted when installing this ROM.
I believe the ics superlite by mhx is a simpler install.

903tex, did you download the Red Pocket configurator from the market? I thought that sets up the apn for you, maybe not w/ ICS.

Battery life will never be something someone can tell you is "good" as it all varies by individual, phone, kernel, running processes, apps, etc.
I don't really know now to answer your question. It's all opinion which is "better".
That's what nandroids are for. Flash both and see which one works for you.

I just have to wipe everything and create backup in rom manager after I select the flash rom from sd? Do I need to wipe data /factory reset also or is it not necessary? Then if I flash bean stock and don't like it I just restore my backup made in rom manager, correct? I haven't switched between different rooms yet I'm a noob.

I have tried ever ROM out there except CleanROM which I haven't gotten to yet (I was out of the country for the last week & didn't want to take a chance on breaking my phone)
I keep returning every single time to my current totally debloated root66 ROM setup. With that setup, there are no bugs or issues at all, the battery life is just as good as any other ROM & it's fast as hell.

No.
Backup FIRST, then you can wipe and install a new ROM. Then back that ROM up, wipe, install new ROM, repeat.
There are stickies around here that will help.

They both good roms but "Clean rom" and "Clean kernel" are the most stable with excellent performance/battery and the most bug free rom (very close to stock and very clean). Also Clean kernel comes with OC and UV.

On synergy I had a lot of FC errors and my wifi would randomly drop. I haven't read anything of others having that issue on the forums but each new release I would flash that. I guess I was just more used to Beans, although I loved the amount of customization and theme options of synergy. Also the fast charge option that came with the kernel built into build 9 of beans was a big plus.
I'll promote synergy
Started off with earlier versions of bean
Loved the 50gb Dropbox but have found synergy to be phenomenal
Plus they've added a feature where they back up your imei when flashing the rom, jury's still out on whether it's 100 percent effective in restoring imei without the roaming problem

Theres a thread in development that allows you to do the same exact thing synergy does. So that feature can be used by anyone, on any rom.
i prefer beans for the themed gapps and cool features. fast too.

Hey guys. For those that dont know, my Real Icon theme has been found to be compatible with all ICS Touch Wiz roms so far since it uses the villian themer as opposed to full apks. I have confirmed it works well on Scott's clean rom. I havent made a separate folder yet on my ftp site but the one for synergy rom and beans rom are identical, just grab one and install it. Here is a basic link into my site...

I thought about it but past experience has shown me that I get a lot less traffic on generic posts rather than ones that say specifically for a rom they are running. Not sure if people just think "hey, probably doesnt apply here" or what but when they see "this is for clean rom" etc they tend to download it more. I also struggle with putting the date on the post. I like to do it so people know there is a new release but as the thread ages, i get much less traffic because people just think it isnt applicable any more. Am I babbling?
This does not work well on CleanROM if you have installed Kinda Crap mods or other mods that affect the icons in the notification bar.

No, I'm not saying that. What I meant (and meant to say) was that this doesn't work if you've flashed other mods before it. Speaking of which, if I wanted to run this mod but had already flashed another one, how do I get rid of the other one?

I think if you just dirty flash cleanrom over the top after wiping cache and dalvik you should get rid of the old mod

Sent from my SGH-I535 using xda premium
Ok so I found that as long as I flash this mod first, I can flash Kinda Crap mods over it and I can keep the Real Icons icons for Messaging and Calendar and all the in-app icons as well, only the Notification Bar icons are replaced by Kinda Crap, which is fine with me. However, I lose call recording that's enabled by Dirty Tweaks. If I try to flash Dirty Tweaks over top of Real Icons like I did with Kinda Crap, the phone won't boot and I have to restore from backup or re-flash the ROM which wipes out all the mods anyway. Is there any build of Real Icons that won't affect the phone app so that I can keep call recording? Thanks!

Hello I ported my rom for the Skyrocket comunity, since our phones share a lot of things, why not this rom
this would be very quik since im sleepy and i finished that at the same time i ended this post so 2 morrow ill add more detaild to this OP.
What works.
everything
bugs
Camera takes a lil bit to load
Key LIght Buttons dont light up, they just work fine just no light.
-------------------------------------READ THIS PLEASE------------------------------------------------------
DONT FLASH ANY OTHER KERNEL OR YOU WILL HAVE SERIOUS PROBLEMS. Miui have a new xbin file called shelld or something like that and that file needs a line in init.rc, so i modded the kernel pre instaled on the rom to have that tweak to aviod problems, so ALL OF YOU ARE WARNED.
CM10 camera and gallery are there, i added this cuz i dont like the legacyCamera, it S**ks and dont have Options, so CM10 camera is there.
You need to flash gapps for jellybean
Download here : http://d-h.st/gT9
flash the rom, flash gapps let it boot and sit for 5 mins and then flash The Control Panel
Download Control Panel app here http://d-h.st/VNY
Its says hercules, but it works on skyrocket so there will be no problems.
any bug? problems or need help, just PM me or post it here in this thread, that way if other have the same problem they can read and fix their issues too.

its MIuiandroid rom, ported using the un official MIUIandroid rom for the ATT samsung galaxy s3 rom made by Ibotpeaches from miuiandroid.com
iv done all the work of porting it and getting it as much stable i can for Hercules and Skyrocket.
also im using cm10 26 nigthly so any bug of cm10 will be here if any lol
This is the problem with the miui theme manager, not necessary to the ROM itself. Looks like they have not iron out the theme manager for user in the US, so I cannot use any of their theme. Can you port an old version of the theme manager?
