So, I was digging around today and I kept ending back to a thread in the SKYROCKET side of the Galaxy S II forum. Are ALL kernels compatible or does the dev have to compile for both devices? (I did use google) (I did search forum)

Are the skyrocket kernels interchangeablewith 989 ROMs? Yes. As long as the kernel is made for the ROM. Like AOKP, CM9 and the like. Also the rotation .zip would be in order if using a skyrocketkernel

Have to flash the fix for auto rotation and if u want a beautiful Ui and use 7-4 paranodroid and skyrocket kernel over flash fix

Ahh, so it would be ok to use Instigator's kernel, but I would need to flash rotation fix, correct?

I don't know about the Skyrocket but if you flash a galaxy S2 rom you're gonna brick your device. There's been a few members who posted this already.
It is the same device minues LTE so in theory it would work. I know they have flashed our roms with no brick only issues would be APN settings. I am not a dev so i could be wrong
Only the Telus matches enough.
So yes or no
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
No. You would need some kinda conversion tool or something like that
Oh ok thats alright i thought id ask ya now
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
You can. You will then need to edit it to fit the tmobile settings
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda premium
It's not that bad.
Just need to flash a kernel, modem, and replace a gps.conf, and you should be fine and dandy.
The reason why I say a modem is because of the whole LTE thing, I wouldn't want it to screw anything up on your devices. I know for a fact we can flash your modem, our conversion script doesn't include a modem, so we can use your modem, don't know if it's vice-versa.
There are skyrocket roms in the dev section, safe to flash
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Can u please give me the names of them and the instructions
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
They are the same phone except the radio they use. So obviously would need minor tweeking but im sure you could flash with no issue..
My question is why? I just looked at their dev section and they have all the same things we do..
Flash the skyrocket rom you want then flash the zip in this thread right after.

I had a Galaxy SII Epic touch then switched to ATT got the skyrocket. I had roms from the Epic touch on my card. I selected the wrong rom, one for the epic not the skyrocket and bricked my phone. Sent the phone to mobletechvideo and had it unbricked. Super fast turn around good service. I recommend it! http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/contact/
Seems to me the development in the skyrocket forum is ahead of ours. Can we flash skyrocket ics rooms without modification from the skyrocket forum or do we have to wait until the t989 devs hack it to work. Also what must be modified to get the skyrocket ics roms to boot?

Haven't seen anyone in our forum mention this. I just flashed it on the latest Darkside and its running smoothly.
For your knowledge.
Yes this works on the T989.
You need to flash the auto rotation fix to have properly working auto rotation.
If the camera fails.** I was informed that using the liboemcamera.so and /system/lib/hw/camera.msm8660.so.pulled from UCLE2 fixes this. ** Simply replace the existing files found in /system/lib and in /system/lib/hw
O/C and U/V work fine for me BUT DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!!! I use system tuner from the market for this.
PLEASE REMEMBER THAT USER EXPERIENCE WILL VARY, BUT THE KERNEL IS SAFE TO TRY.

No special instructions. Flash the kernel. Then auto rotation fix.
However the Camera is fails. But that's a known issue with it right now.

Even TDJ had problems with his Alpha Kernel. He had an issue with camera not working on his initial release also. This is a developers forum. Issues are expected unless you see FINAL in the title or OP.

This.
Obviously you guys havent been around long. When ICS was first leaked for the skyro, we all flashed away and had no issues at all... other than a wonky rotation. User yaldak(I believe) made us all a rotation fix and all was well.
The only difference between the skyro and the herc is the lte radio, and the accelerometer orientation.

samsung hercules, samsung skyrocket and samsung celox are bases from each other, so yea, they are the same in kernel, board ( all of them are msm8660 type).
Well now that we got that partly settled, yea they got a lot of their top devs on it so hopefully they make it compatible
They still have to make it compatible for hercules. For example if u try flashing blinky revenge then it won't work. He didn't add the extra step
So yeah we can flash every rom and Kernel from skyrocket as long as we use a rotation fix after and that they add the extras to make it compatible
