Wrong. Identical devices. They are cross compatible. We've been flashing skyrocket roms for awhile now. And vice versa.

Do not attempt to flash a AT&T Skyrocket on your Hercules. That's just asking for trouble.

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.

Seriously, how is this still a question? Skyrocket ROM's work fine for our phones, flash a herc kernel and done.

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

Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
make sure its a skyrocket rom and not At&t gsII rom. use a hercules kernel after you flash it. there is more information out there I suggest you use the search feature to learn more on the differences between roms on the two phones.

Can we flash ics skyrocket roms?

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?

All of your questions can be answered in the development thread.
Edit: why are you asking here? According to your sig you've already got a sky rocket...Why not head to the appropriate forum?

[Q] Kernel

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

Yeah just make sure its for the skyrocket and you'll most likely need the rotation fix
