Hi guys,
I recently made a switch from sprint to att. I picked the skyrocket.
I had the evo4g from the 3rd day it was released and tried nearly every
rom there was. I am flash junkie.
What can you tell me or recomend for this new phone of mine?
I have installed CWM recovery, superuser, and titanium so far.
Not sure what rom I should try first. Feel like I was fluent in evo forum and roms. Not liking being the new kid.
Thanks in advance

You are going to love the Skyrocket! Unfortunately the EVO being out as long as it has had a much more solid dev area.
The Skyrocket is still young but really doesn't take much to make it fly.
I currently use quickwiz along with faux's kernel.
I have mish mashed some themes from the tmobile t989 section and used some bits and pieces from our devs here to really make the phone mine.
Honestly there isn't a bad rom in the dev section, they are all great

That has been my hesitation, very little to choose from compared to evo.
I have a friend trying to get me a beta version of vanilla 4.0 from his connects
at google.
I will be sharing if that comes through.
Thanks for the input
Flashing
While I am at it, Is it correct that flashing roms with CWM
will not trigger the counter?
And then to go back to stock just is odin to flash a stock rom?
Thanks
Correct

if you are a flash junkie I would flash all of them saving skyicecream for last because it is probably the best in my opinion and because as much as Sean(dev) releases updates, almost daily, it hard to find time to flash anything else because your curious to see what's new. any way welcome to the forum and happy flashing

Hello my name is Master&Slave over from the Tmobile Galaxy S II Community and im just wondering if anyone would like to port my ROMs over to the SKYROCKET
I know you can just flash with the conversion package thing in which I have never tried but it may perform better from a complete port.
Here they are Tuesday & Paradox II.
I do my own themes so if you want to port without my theme on it, feel free I dont mind at all, just trying to offer more ROM choices.
Cheers
I'm curious on what your "themed aosp messaging" looks like. Can I get a screencap of that? I might steal the apk for it...
I think you're stuff looks real good you should hit up silver wrx, or mod1441 is love to see what you guys cook up

I wouldike it I'm using a from from the t mobile section with the conversion package. I would love your ports.

Love your roms! would love them even more if they were officially ported!
i wanna check them out but im scurred of flashing tmobile roms. lol
whats the usual routine on flashing them?
Flash t989 rom! Flash Kernel! Flash Conversion file! Fix permission in ROm manager and reboot!!!!!!!

Definitely would be nice if someone could port these over. I've run different 989 roms for weeks at a time, they're basically fully functional yet not the same as device specific. I for one appreciate the offer M&S, always wondered why more devs haven't "cross ported" in order to further expand your portfolios.

Don't own the device, technically I do with the Tmo version but you know what I mean. Never flashed a SkyRocket ROM ever nor looked at the framework or internal files.
Should I just put these in the Dev section here? Since you guys can just flash with the conversation package?

As far as i know the only hardware difference is in the physical mounting of the accelerometer.

If you use 727 rom as a base you can get rid of the heavily reported "2d lag" noted so often in 989 forums. (just a thought)

hi...im new to xda but i really think you guys could help me with this...im kinda a newbie to this...but my question is can i download the s3 rom and flash it to my skyrocket...i have cwm and everything but i never downloaded or flashed a rom on my skyrocket yet...i really wanna noe if i can download the s3 rom n flash it to my skyrocket...thanx guys
if this is possible please link me to a download for it thnx
The rom's provided in the developer section are the only roms that are compatable with the Skyrocket or i727. I dont believe there are any mirror roms of the S3. There are roms with features from S3 though.
thank you...hopefully it will come out soon though...thats the only rom that seems to interest me unfortunately
Flashing an s3 rom on the skyrocket is a sure fire way to brick your phone. I recommend reading some of the stickies in the General section, which should have this answer among others.

It's a custom kernel that allows oc, uv, and bln. You should really read some more before doing any flashing.

Mohans drains battery faster from my experience. Even under clocked and under volted. If you don't care about bln, grab the other kernel.

I am running the non-mohan kernel on mine and wifes phone. It is the smoothest, best battery life, ICS I have ran. Like other wise men said, just read the post, download required software, and go! It is quite easy, even from an old farts' perspective.
BTW, would not hurt to make nandroid backup of current state before trying.
ODIN is your friend!
Cyanogenmod started doing nightly builds for the skyrocket, i'm running it right now. The lock screen tends to lock up for a few seconds, but otherwise a very stable build. No FCs so far.
okay my last question i think haha...can som1 tell me what do or tell me if these steps are right
after i flash super wipe i
-flash R1 make shure everything is ok and running
-flash r4 mohans kernal
-done??
its kinda confusing cuz he said after flashing r1 then u flash r3...does he mean r4

Yes after you flash R1 boot up wait like 10 minutes and flash R4. The R3 is just something he forgot to change. I am using this rom right now and I love it.

In my opinion since there is ways to load a custom kernel there is no reason to trade...there are lots of people working on unlocking the boot loader and I would like to see it unlocked. But, for now the ways that we are working around this issue are around and a good solution for now

It depends on your definition of downgrade because honestly I'm trying to figure out what makes this phone so popular?
It can't be the design because this is not at all a nice looking phone.. It can't be the ui cause touch wiz looks like a ten year old designed it
The galaxy nexus with jelly bean I heard is very smooth

There are fully functional jelly bean builds. It's popular because it's a beast, and development is excellent despite the roadblock (which no longer matters).
This is the first time that I own a galaxy s phone and I bought it because of all the hype it gets.. There are like a thousand commercials about this phone
I truly want to know what it is that makes it a beast.. I'm not trying to be a troll or whatever I'm just curious?

I'm asking myself the same question
I guess my main disappointment is the bootloader
But I understand that it's a newer device so it will take some time..
I guess what I will have to do in the mean time is use widget locker for that horrible lock screen and find a good launcher
Any recommendations

Take a look at Nova Launcher.
Ok so I rooted the phone and it did make the phone a bit more interesting
Now to wait for an easier way to install custom recovery and roms
Tapping that from another galaxy
It's super easy to install roms. Go to the market and download ez recovery, go into easy recovery and install cwm 6.0.1.0. That's it's now go find a tin you like boot into recovery and flash the rom. Of course make a backup first and stay away from asop roms imho. To many people had issues. Flash synergy, beans or cleanrom. Those are all safe roms

Installing custom recovery and ROMs doesn't get any easier than it is now. EZ recovery app, as said above, for custom recovery and clockwork recovery for ROMs mods etc.. If you screw up there is always ODIN. As long as you don't brick the bootloader (just don't flash bootloaders) ODIN should fix near anything I believe.
Thanks for the advice guys I really do appreciate it

ok i am running orthous six right now and i like it, i never tried any ics roms but i read somewhere that there are a couple out there with great battery life. i want a rom with really good battery life . i dont play games at all on my skyrocket at all and i surf the web occasionally. i do text alot and use the phone for my contact list big time. which rom best suits those needs, good battery life and good internet connection from both wi-fi and signal, my area doesnt have 4g yet but i do get hsdpa+ or whatever. just curious to see what is out there. i put liquid smooth on there and had a few little bugs. oh and i need 1 that doesnt have to have 4 or 5 different things to install ,modems,kernals and all that stuff are beyond me.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
this sounds a preferred ROM thread lol but anyways i would say to try with embryo might fit best based off your needs but you need to start flashing the roms on your own to determine the best for you. but JB may not be the best option becasue there is limited access since we dont have an official yet
thats more or less the answer i was looking for , i want to use that embryo rom but when i was reading it i sort of got confused when it said choose your modem for radio and all that stuff . maybe putting in your apn and all that. if it just a simple wipe 3times factory reset, update ,flash gapps its cool ,but all that other jazz is confusing. i looked at my phone info and it dont show my modem it says baseband version unknown.
your not gonna get every answer you want that not the point of the question if you not that comfortable doing this stuf then stay stokc or learn to Rom
