I successfully installed Paranoid Android JB 4.1. from the Att Skyrocket section on my device, and its pretty freaking stable. Its been on
my phone for about a day now with no issues.
Check this out if you dont want to wait for a fully functional camera before release. The current camera in the build
flickers slightly, but its not really a big deal since the pictures save correctly anyways.

1) Wpe the crap out of your device however way you do it... I personally use TWRP because it
wipes the device properly, and requires less steps. Thats just my preference. I think you can technically use any recovery,
2) INstall Skyrocket Paranoid (Latest version as of 08/7 is V6 I beleive)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1750588
3) Install SU zip
Reboot, sit 10 minutes
4) Reboot into recovery
5) Flash Gapps
6) Reboot
7) Reboot recovery, flash Kernel
8) Reboot, then reboot into recovery again
9) flash Rotate fix
10) Clear Cache, Fix permissions
11) Reboot
12) Waste Profit because your going to be spending a lot of time messing with this ROM
A lot of steps, I know.... but I personally dont mind since I am a flashaholic, and this is a pretty stable ROM the way it sits.
Let me know how it works for you guys, and if you need any help.
Thank you to all the developers that put their work into these mods.. Because without them donating their personal time, we would have
crappy ass TW still.
Screen Shots to follow....
EDIT: BTW, I did not host any of those files... those are direct copy pastes from the original thread, so the original owner of that
mod will get download credit from the respective file server anyway.
Awesome! Can this ROM use themes? I remember the Hercules one would cause problems but wasn't sure about the ROM for SR. Thanks bro

No idea what i messed up.. it rebooted fine every time...looked like it was installing smooth...
.until the last.. stuck on jellbean container forever.. let sit.. no button response.. had to pop the battery to reset and now cant get back into the phone.. it just does the "buzz" thing.. left it on charge a while.. pulled the battery for a while.. and i get nothing.. (i can touch my tongue and i know the batt has power) .. when i plug it into anything it just buzzes every few seconds and zero response when not plugged in.
Man, that's a lot of reboots.

If you are using nontouch touch get into recovery and do a darkside cache wipe and see if that works. Hold volume rocker button and power button until it vibrates and lety go of power but keep holding volume rocker until you are in recovery. Hope it helps.

Still not sure of the issue.. i popped the back off and when i cover the connector on the top center antenna the phone boots fine.. troubleshooting now.
i like the new tag [Hackjob]
it does really sits well with all the Kanged ROMs that were not developed
Sick battery life too!!
Got everything back up and shot at it again.. my phone is freaking at the rotate fix.
How did you guys get the phone dialer to work everytime i get a call i cant accept the call.

I wanted to really start from scratch so I went through some of the Samsung open source code and found that there were some unnecessary modules being loaded. That could be what's causing some problems (although I haven't had much but think it's signal related or Sprint's towers being updated), but with no overclocking and the changes, it could solve everything? Dunno still.
So I tried my best to trip the bloat-code out and try to keep it as stock as possible (no overclock), perhaps some of you can test this out for me.
Changelog
v.1
- CWM 4.0.1.5
- Superuser 3.0 + fixed su, now installs in /system/bin, you can update the binaries with SuperUser app.
- init.d support (/system/etc/init.d)
- Bootanimation support
- fixed Airplane toggle
Things to test:
- LOS?
- Video out? - sorry my video out adapter is still being shipped, I think I enabled it but can't really check???
-Airplane toggle should be fixed
Things I am working on:
- Boot splash logo? Still working on that, if anyone knows how to change it, please let me know.
- Recompiling CWM from scratch, add external SD support, fix wipe issue
- Add infrastructure to wifi tether and USB tether?
Devs, u r free to steal my stuff, or stuff I stole I really don't remember from taking too much energy pills, taking a big white line from Stevie Jobs, "Good artists copy, great artists steal.".
If you have some knowledge to share, plz don't forget to email me at zedomax [at] gmail.com
If this works well, I will build off it or otherwise I will keep optimizing until its fully stable.
Thanks guys, you rock!

great work zedo! i'll test it out once i get back to work. somehow i left ALL my micro usb cables at work like an idiot.
I had the LOS today, had to restart my phone three times in the span of three hours. So, being frustrated, I booted in to CWM, wiped my davlik and flashed back to v1.1. Then I wiped davlik again, flashed back to v1.2 and rebooted. Haven't have a LOS issue since. So far so good...

CWM probably can't cause issues since it's in recovery, it doesn't fire up unless u r actually in recovery but CWM we all using right now have issues as they are based off SG2 CWM binaries. Someone has to compile a CWM for Epic4GT from scratch or at least hack it. I am gonna try that soon but compiling kernels is just taking too much time, I've been 24/7 compiling for like a whole week, get no other work done, i seriously need to go out to a rave and get f--ed up for couple days. Then my head will be clear, compiling will be fun.

Problems:
GPS
Camera, open and see, it takes awsome pictures, artistic...
Notification LED and buttons backlight aren't working
Power menu shut down wont actually shut down the phone (LOL)
It'd be cool to have a reboot to recovery, fastboot menu..
Report if you notice any more bugs
If there are any devs that know how and are willing to fix some of these bugs, be my guest, if you manage to fix them post a patch and I'll incorporate them into the ROM
How to install:
---Download the rom and put it on your SD card
---Reboot to clockworkmod
---Wipe data, wipe cache
---Go to advanced tab/Wipe dalvik cache
---Flash the ROM
---Reboot and say hello to your new ROM
Tips:
Get Antutu CPU Master from market and overclock as much as you can, like always, change governor to smartassV2..
Get Spare Parts from market, open Spare parts, window animations and transition animations, set both to very slow, it will give you an animation that is slow till the app you wanted loads, nice trick for your brain

I'm using the latest Amon Ra recovery (I think it was 1.7 or sth). I wiped everything, and i flashed just the rom, nothing else. I flashed it twice, first i thought it was a bad download or sth, but the checksums were correct.
Also I needed to sign it, because at first the rom failed the check. I used Auto-Sign_v0.65 Maybe this can cause an issue?
Hey,
my phone are rebooting for a week now. I've try install a new ROM, but keep doing. Like this: it works cool, turn on the wi-fi and stuff... but when i open the browser, the phone reboot! And when i try turn it on right after the reboot, goes to the Samsung image and turn it black again.
It's the Kernel? Maybe the transition on the CM9 to the CM10, without taking any specific and may needed care?
Or i f*** my celphone...

So i'm on to like my third GS2 because it seems like i always have bad luck with ROMs or there is common issue that i haven't yet noticed. I am currently not even rooted but i have this itch to just root once again and flash my beloved AOKP that i love dearly. The problem is that every time i flash the ROM everything is fine and smooth for about a month, but then people start telling me that my mic and my end of the call sounds really bad. I always test speech to text and google now and the phone seems to understand and hear me perfectly, but the issue of phone calls remain. I really wanna know if this is a common issue especially with this ROM so that i can stay away from rooting and flashing for good now or if there is a way to fix this or if someone has worked their way around this. Any help or info would be appreciated, thanks!
AOKP to the death bro i feel you on that and do you have the newest radio installed MC6 (baseband) any of the newer ROMs all recommend to use the newest radio but on a side note yes the issue is know but not everyone gets it but ive never actually had that problem every phone acts differently and behave differently not every phone is created equal
Do I need to install the MC6 radio separately? I've had the issue with all my GS2's :/

I flashed original aokp milestone1 from this site: http://aokp.co/devices/hercules and everything is fine and well but i'm having problems with it freezing in usb mode. I treid flashing the radio but it would keep aborting it and not flshing. I will try re-downloading the radio and slim bean rom which was also being aborted and try again. do i need gapps when i flash slimbean as well?
OK so i was able to flash the radio you told me to but it was no use, my side of the phone call sounds like if i was talking through a fan, this is really frustrating now :/ any ideas? I will try flashing slimbean again and keep you posted. thanks for all your help up until now, i appreciate it bro.
OK so i re-downloaded the slimbean rom and also flashed the 4.2.2 slim gapps and i am so happy and satisfied that my phone actually works the way it's supposed to now. I only have two small concerns now that i hope you can help me with.
1. When i connect to my pc my phone only gives me the options to connect as a media player or a camera. It's as if it dosn't even have a usb mass storage option? I also noticed it has no developer section in settings.
2. Everything is small. I know you might know this and it might be normal or default but is there any way to change this and make it normal? Is it something to do with Dpi? It's kinda annoying lol

1a. Mass storage mode had major problems so it was removed for now.
1b. Go to settings/about phone and tap on build number seven times to turn on developer options.

This is my first time I am ever posting and I am extremely anxious and shy about doing this or if I even make myself understandable and as helpful as I can..... Please if there is something that doesn't make sense please let me know so I can try to be a little more clear....
Now........To Begin
:victory:
I had a previous Sprint Samsung Galaxy S2 SPH-D710 that did not have this problem at all but I traded it for a black one because I did not like having a white phone and that's where my problems began....I had known the phone had a pressing button problem but I did not know what it was at the time or what it was called. But I was sure there was a way to fix it somehow. As soon as I had the phobe in my hands I saw how horrible it was.....It did not let me do anything not even for 30 seconds without the menu, back buttons, and I was upset because since I had to reinstall a new ROM on this phone (which I don't mind that's the fun part) but the keys kept going off every couple of seconds so I decided to look into finding a way to fix it and I did kinda. And I will post the link to the first one too because it can be useful and work for someone else and if it wasn't fir that post I wouldn't have thought of my fix.
Anyway here is the link to the first one : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=
I followed these steps and basically what it is, is a method where you disable your hardkey that is causing you problems and switching it to the search button since most of us really don't use the search key anyway. But I won't go much into detail the post above goes more in depth. In the beginning it actually worked but then I noticed that the back key started pressing itself and then the menu still presses itself and even now and the search button which was converted to the new menu so I got upset and exasparated because to even do this method took me literally 2 hours because the damn keys wouldn't stop pressing themselves. And then I thought of another method which to me proved easier than that and does work. I simply used the same method but when I got to the General.kl instead of disabling one key I disabled all 4 and bang problem solved! But BEFORE that you need to make sure you have already installed an app where you can get your hardkeys on your screen and set it up to where you kniw your keys all work * OH AND YOU NEED TO BE ROOTED FOR THE SETTINGS FOR MENU AND BACK WORK! *. And I found a really good and free app in the market that is easy to use and wont get in the way of your screen while typing and customizable. It is called "Floating Toucher" and once installed and set up and disabled keys in General.kl and rebooted phone everything was working fine!!!! AND IT WORKED JUST FINE YOU JUST HAVE TO GET USED TO NOT TOUCHING KEYS ANYMORE AS THEY DON'T WORK BUT ITS TRUSTHWORTHY!....
Anyway I when all this happened I had GB27 4.1.2 and I wanted an upgrade so I flashed to Revolt JB ROM 4.3.1 (will post link to this ROM if you are interested in this method) and after that because the phone reset itself the hardkeys were enabled again. So because I it was a new ROM for me I looked in depth at their settings and there is where I found my solution!
1. Go to your settings and you go to Revolt Control.
2. When you are there you will see they have extra settings for the phone.
3. Scroll down to: Pie Controls
4. Click on the first setting that says: Pie Controls/ Allows navagation and status report and enable it.
5. Customize the settings how you want then to be to your liking!
6. Go back to previous menu.
7. Scroll down to: Soft Keys Options
8. Click on: Enable Soft Keys Options
9. You will notice all four of your hard keys are there including the setting when you long press them. Simply click on each one and press blank on all of them.
10. Then you go to previous screen and reboot and there! Easier than having to install over apps or disable keys! Its in the settings already and I am extemely happy now! No more Phantom Ghost Key!!!
The link for Revolt if anyone wants to change to ROM is : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2238252
And I hope this helps someone!
Man, you have a lot of patience posting a guide in a wrong device forum... You link to a ReVolt ROM for HTC Rezound, and here we have Samsung Epic 4G, which doesn't have ReVolt at all (all we have is a buggy CM10.2).

Still the wrong device forum... You have an Epic 4G Touch (SPH-D710). This forum is for Epic 4G (SPH-D700), a totally different device with a slide-out keyboard. There's a separate forum for your device.
Sorry if all these sound rude, I simply wanna guide you to the right place

OHHHHHHH I SEE I'VE ALWAYS GOTTEN CONFUSED ABOUT THE DIFFEEENT S2 MODELS AND WHAT NOW!!! Honestly it was much harder when I first trying to even learn about root and try..... Before this phone was a BOOST Samsung Galaxy S2 SPH-D710BST and proper files to flash was extremely hard to find. But I flashed it to Sprint and it was slightly easier then. But yea I do continue to get confused with these names especially cuz those 2 sound so similar. ...darnit !
Well I looked for their forum and its under maintenance so I have to wait....
Sorry for the mistake!
And no you're not being rude in the least thank you sooooo much !!!!
