Please post your questions and answers regarding my port here....
UPDATE: 5/24/2012
Won't be doing any work on this for a while. Phone got run over and can't afford a new one right now. Using my SGS4G as a backup until I can get a good price on an s2 or possibly a new S3.
UPDATE 4/5/2012
Good News is I got my phone back from JTAG repair... BAD NEWS is they messed up my usb port. Phone boots and all but I have no way to charge it.. When I plug it in it flashes a warning saying Battery is too hot or too cold, charging has been canceled. Was able to get in download mode and did a wipe to see if maybe it was a firmware issue but it did not help. Went back to download mode to see if I could flash a new boot.img and get this error:
Claiming interface... Failed. Attempting to detach driver...
Claiming interface again... Success
Setting up interface... Success
Beginning session...
Failed to initialise usb communication!
Re-attaching kernel driver...
Now my battery is completely dead so I can't try anything until I can get an external charger if they make one... will update as I can
UPDATE 3-28-12 5:24 p.m. est
For those of you who keep sending me PM's asking to test...
Go to the thread in the Development forum and download it. The Thread was closed but links are still active.
UPDATE #2 3-28-12
I won't be able to work on this for a few days.
Bricked my phone working on a different kernel and modem.
Will send it out for jtag repair and have it back sometime next week hopefully...
Guess I will jump back to the sgs4g forum and work there for a few days.. Have that phone with unbrickable mod...
If anyone knows if unbrickable mod is available for this phone let me know.
I Have no problem tearing it apart and performing the mod.
Update 4/1/12 Turning down in call volume will cut down on in call echo.
Thanks
I would like to apologize in advance for not asking my QA inside of the QA section.
On a side note i was having data issues and I flashed cache and reenterd my APN settings manually and it fixed it
good to hear

You need to flash the superuser zip again in CWM. So long as the thread didn't get deleted in Development, look at the 3rd post, you should find a link there.

I actually had the same question too but no one answered..I ended up restoring my NAND backup of a 2.3.6 ROM, manually forcing it to go to WCDMA only, then re-flashing ICS, which effectively saved the settings. For some reason lol
is there a crt off option anywhere? it's the only thing missing (besides the autorotate, everything else works for me).
Is there a way to get the keyboard to go landscape without auto rotate?

any one has a problem with gallary not working when trying to add picture to a contact in contacts?
can we get the ics threads stickied, just so they stay on the front page to avoid a barrage of 'where do i download ics?' threads? since the threads can't be bumped by posts anymore.

Also having an issue with the gallery. The gallery works fine and I can view the pics, but trying to set a picture as the lockscreen background causes the gallery to freeze and screen to turn black and unresponsive. the capacitive buttons light up, and when I hit the power button it says unfortunately gallery has stopped. I've cleared data/cache, any one else able to reproduce this bug?
I by no means take credit for these but I can confirm they are working for me. I got these from the Skyrocket forums:
To fix the power off/reboot freeze issue do the following:
Make a CWM Nandroid backup of the ICS ROM. Then do a restore of the backup you just made without wiping anything. Reboot and test it out. It worked perfect for me.
Not sure why it works but it must have something to do with the restore scripts being used. They must somehow correct the power off/reboot issue.
To fix the portable hotspot issue do the following:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24134762&postcount=25
This has been tested by me and it works like a charm.

Unfortunately I think the auto-rotate issue is kernel related so we have to wait for a specific kernel for our phones. I downloaded an app from the market "Auto-Rotate Status Bar Switch" and it seems to work pretty well.
ok thanks will try it right now and I leave at 6 am for my job and I have much time for that lolll
That app doesn't help. Still rotates into landscape when I'm in a portrait mode.

dude, as you can clearly tell from the rest of this forum, no one has a fix for it yet. be patient. besides, the OP isn't trying to address the auto rotate problem in the first place..
OP, i will try out the fix, thanks.
I am patient. Just wondering how to use that app that's all. Couldn't figure it out. Rotation locker works best for me so far

Told me tethering is not supported ???
Samsung galaxy s2 almost ics lol
so im using Ravers blackedition rc3, with the ICS theme designed for rc2.
originally, rc3 had the shutdown/restart thing fixed, but flashing the theme broke it.
i tried your method but no luck for me.
im sure this still probably can work for those not using any themes tho
Yea what ROM are you running cause I tried both fixes and no luck
Samsung galaxy s2 almost ics lol
i am trying your method to get tethering to work...i followed your instructions and everything was good up until setting it up...i got to the skyrocket connected part...but when i hit my menu button nothing happens...i dont get the menu to set the SSID and pw
my laptop can pick up the skyrocket signal but it asks for a pw...and i dont know what it is since i didnt set one
edit: found your original thread and read the comments from another user...you have to tap on the word hotspot and then go into that page and then hit menu to configure...thanks!

Hello,
I recently did my first flash for a custom rom (AOKP Build 4 + Oct 1 Nightly http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1828728), and followed the instructions well I think.
However, I noticed that upon reboot (after flashing) that I get the message: "Unfortunately, the proces.com.android.phone has stopped."
It also randomly shuts down.
I've gone through the thread and am aware of the bugs, but I'm not sure that the shut down counts as a "reboot" and I'm not sure where I went wrong.
If anyone can lend a hand, it would be much appreciated
Enter recovery mode and try doing a factory reset/wipe data, wipe cache/dalvik cache also just in case. Hope that helps!

Hi,
Thank you for the quick reply!
Is this essentially re-flashing my phone? I did that twice already but it has not solved the problems (with factory/cache, dalvik wipe; installation of rom+gapps; then cache reset).
EDIT:
I guess I should add just now when my phone "shut down", I tried to get it to boot into recovery (Volume buttons + power), which resulted in my camera's flash going off a few times, and vibrations (but screen was black) :\ Phone restarted normally after I let go of the buttons though.

Yes, basically (it cleans up the ROM to a fresh state). Can you explain in further detail what you mean by random shut downs? Does this happen while using the phone or when the phone is idle?
Why don't you flash Aokp jb milestone 1. Its the latest build and is more stable.

My phone essentially goes black, only displaying "Samsung" in white. It occurs while in use, but I haven't noticed any relation to the app being used (sometimes it occurs while I'm texting, others when I'm browsing).

It may be a kernel issue with the ROM you are using, the governors/schedulers may not be working properly. As 6Seven had mentioned, try flashing one of the more up to date ROMs and see if the issue persists.

Hit the image on the right of my signature. You'll be directed to one of the All-Star Devs ROMs, if you look through the OP there will be an All-Star AOKP Rom variant that will be just as solid or even better than the one 6Seven had mentioned. Also, just keep in mind the devs of the All-Star team are currently working on an update for the All-Star AOKP ROM, so keep an eye out for it. Good luck!

I've been trying to get an answer to this question since the Google Edition rom hit the internets. Good luck brother. If you are on CM or AOKP, these roms have the option built in and can be found in the Device tab in the settings menu. Any other kind of rom, it seems to be a mystery. I have spent hours trying to figure it out to no avail.

elesbb said in the thread that I started about this, (a couple threads down from this one) that he might be able to write an app that would work with our phone to disable the backlights. I am about to donate a bit to him and request it. I'm sure he would be more willing to make it if more people showed interest

It's definitely not tied to reboot because when "all is well" I might not reboot for a week or more. My gut feeling is that it's rom related, but posted here to see if any stock users may have experienced this. I'll probably PM @Jamison and ask him or post in the rom thread (now that I have 10 posts-Yeah!!).
