Our skyrocket is the sgs2's bastard son so we dont have a ton of developer support yet. That being said the sgs2 does not even have an ics port. Patience sir will pay off. We will be geting ics officialy before long. But we dont even have cm support so no cm9 or cm7 anytime soon. I have high hopes we will pick up more dev support in the coming months but as for now if u want ics your going to have to port ot yourself or just wait. But i promise if someone starts working on it. It will be posted in the dev section and be a hot topic
If you want to help then go to Samsung OSRC Click on Web Mail on the upper right corner to submit the interests
email them there is an interest in developing ICS on this hardware. Without the hardware binaries from Samsung there is no way to compile working hardware with ICS.
What's crazy is I have a captivate and I can run ics on that device don't believe me, just check the cappy development page. I'm happy with this device but I knew better lmao!!!

Totally unnecessary thread. If you didn't create something, it doesn't belong in development. There's no such thing as a [REQ] thread in development. Closed.
Hello forums. I'm sure I'm not the only one with the problem and I've spent some time looking but no avail in finding a solution. (most likely because I'm unfamiliar with the forums) So getting to the point.
I rooted my Samsung Galaxy SII LTE (rogers) using superoneclick. After rebooting my phone I've noticed a LOT of lag when it comes to scrolling through pages, using/loading apps, and even using the back, home, and search "buttons" on the front. Is there a solution to this? I would greatly appreciate the help.
I've never used one click root but rooting shouldn't cause lag like that. I would personally just flash a new rom rather than go through all the trouble to track down the cause. Do you have clockwork installed yet?

Yeah root does not cause that . You should freeze your bloatware, and try a custom rom like red sonja

Haven't done anything after the root. I originally rooted it so I can hook up my sixaxis controller to it but after hearing what else you can do with your phone I think I'm going to follow that route instead. All I want to do right now is get rid of the stock apps that I don't need, get the sixaxis working on the phone (I've read the Cyanogenmod kernal can do that for me)
But I'd be more then happy to test out new roms from time to time, so first thing is first. What is the easier way to go about Backing up my entire phone so I can restore it to that state?
Haven't installed clockwork yet. What does it do and how do I install it? I'll try and find the links on my own when I have some time but I'm just heading out to work soon (horay for double time and a half) or you could be a trooper and help a noob out.
Edit: So I've figured out what clockwork is and its asking me which phone I'm using, doesn't list my phone there so I just want to make sure choosing the tmobile samsung galaxy sII is alright despite having a rogers SSG S2 LTE

I tried freezing some but I've already managed to freeze something that causes my apps to force close whenever I open it. Is there a list of the bloatware that I can safely freeze or delete?
I'll be looking into which rom I will go with first but for now I'm going to read up about it before I do anything else. Don't want to brick my phone a week into buying it.
Could you post me a link to the red sonja rom with the instructions on how to install / flash it.
Here is a list of what you can freeze http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1341558

Thanks for the links =)
Just one question, if I I've had enough of red sonja in the background of my apps and everywhere else is there a way I can remove the comic book theme on the phone while keeping the rom working?
You can replace the apps with the stock apps. Using root explorer.

Thanks for the quick replies!
So after trying the ice cream sandwich I think it's alright and now I'm off to take sonja out for a ride. If I backup the current rom play around with lovely lady in red would I be able to just switch between roms after backing them up?
If you boot into cwm. Click backup/restore and backup your current setup then flash red sonja. And do the same think. You can go back into cwm and restore your nandroid backups anytime you want. Just remember to wipe first. But yeah you can switch back and forth and it will take you to exactly how you were set up in each backup
Hi.. Any one know which custom firmware out there is specially or TF101G? As it's seems like majority of it is made for TF101 not the TF101G.. Thanks..

someone actually thanked the OP. thats the best part.
OK, so I have a brick. I don't understand - am I supposed to hit the guy at AT&T with it until he gives me a new phone? I don't think my brick has a warranty, so if that breaks I am really screwed.

Rofl, you know you really ****ed up if you got to step 2.5 in a 2 step process lol
At that point, it's time to never come back to XDA again.
But really though, carriers don't have software engineers debugging your phone, they just send the phone back to samsung if it's in warranty and if it isn't in warranty, they charge you for repair (a hardware tech or computer engineer does it). Also, if your paying for the repair, it doesn't even matter what you've done to the phone.

if I was to pull my system from my Cricket phone, would we be able to get some work on the Cricket version of this phone?
I see work being done on Boost Mobile and other versions, but not much on the Cricket model.
Depends if someone has a cricket phone to run tests and debug any issues prior to release.

A hint.... Important partitions on your device are very similiar to the K2_UL variant .

I deodexed the cricket system for you guys, that you can build mods (for example in UOT Kitchen).
Some of our european mods should also work with that, but it needs someone with that phone to try (of course with a backup in his hand).
But its downloaded only 4 times (in the last 4 weeks).
Seems there is not much interest out there, sorry.
Well, throw me some links and I'll test out a few ROMs/MODs
Really looking to see this device take off...
Flash the package in post #3 first.
Then you can try things from post #1 or 2 if you want.
Also xpirt has some threads with mods for 422.
But like i said, i can't say for sure, if all will work also for cricket.
You should have a backup (and the knowledge to restore).
i am dedcated
im a k2 plc cl user and have flashed alot of roms from all links and most have been for k2 ul but also have had all different kind of problems but also alot of success so i would like to try and do anything to help
Add me to the mix. K2_PLC_CL user also. I have stock backup as well as a backup of my xposed modded ROM. I will test whatever I can to help out development for the cricket variant.
