*** skyrocket ics port q&a ***

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?

ICS Power Off/Reboot and Portable Hotspot Fixes

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!

bug i found in DARKSIDE.UCLE2 beta 06

so...i just installed new beta 06 of Darkside...i really liked the new tw app drawer but i found a bug....theres no calender widget...like they used to have and the bug i found is...when adding agenda 4*4 to the screen touchwiz force close....then restarts...now the problem is...whenever u scroll back to the screen u tried to put that widget...touchwiz stops ( force closes). i did fix permissions....flashed darside.cache.wipe. but it just doesnt go...so i had to reflash the rom thinking it might be a bad download....but its the same case again. so now,..i am flashing the rom for third time and gonna use third party calender widget.
hope he fixes it soon.
update: ...so, altogether i flashed this ROM 4/5 times and NO...the FC doesnt go if u restart the phone. CONFIRMED. touchwiz home force close all the time.

I also found that I can't add a wallpaper from the home screen. I need to go to settings to do it.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA

Yup, something is wrong with the calendar.
Work around is to freeze it and use alternative.
Otherwise it will keep foreclosing every time you go to that screen.

Thats true...i dont see why they dont ask where is suppossed to. Also they need to read. There are bugs in OP...and Dereck said dont ask to fix it. They will do it..im pretty sure. But you people must learn to wait. He doesnt work specially for you guys. He has a life to live. Take it easy.

thats because i cant post anything yet in development section as i dont have that many posts. hopefully i will b able to post on development threads too.

It has been discussed today that setting the widget will fc the launcher. Just reboot the device and it will be exactly where you placed it.

Ok. Sorry. I didnt know that. Its related to new tw Galaxy 3 launcher. It looks pretty nice but im having similar problems. Hopefully you can find a fix rebooting as dereck said. However i think we still could find some fc related to this tw launcher...i read a couple threads about other roms using this launcher with similar issues. Also setting up lockscreen.

[Q] How to get notification light to work?

I just flashed liquid rom rc8 with the 4.2 transformation add-on to Samsung Galaxy S3.
Under settings>display>notification light I've enabled it, tried different custom values.
I have battery light enabled as well. But the LED's just don't work. I've tried wiping clean 3 times and re-flashing, it still doesn't work.
WEIRD THING is when I click the test button and turn off the screen, the LED's will work according to the custom values I tried. But if it's not under test mode, it doesn't work at all. This has been bugging me for days!
I've never really had to post a question because I've always been able to search for the right answers somewhere. I can't even post this question under the development section because I just created this account and they need me to post 10 posts first...... -_-
But nobody has this same issue as me?

cm ROMs will have little bugs here and there... not sure if i or anybody can help you out here without any conclusive data

try wiping data and reflashing the rom. It should work.

Has anyone found a fix for their screen staying on?

I know its been reported with jelly bean that the screen is unable to turn off normally and you have to push the power button to turn it off. Currently the only fix I know of is a reboot. Anyone with any other tips??

Mine works fine, did you flash any mods or some kind of lock screen app?

Yes, I'm on Wicked Sensations v1.2 right now. But i've read that a few people have been having this issue with JB. I just started using XDA so I can't post on the OP yet so thats why I posted here. Was just hoping for some feedback and opinions. I have flashed a few mods on it, but none seem to be the problem...i dont think. haha

I'm having the same problem
I am not rooted and running stock jelly bean (ota version that I installed early because I was too impatient for them to push it to my phone). I have noticed my screen randomly staying on, too. It's very annoying because sometimes I don't notice until my battery is dead. A reboot fixes it temporarily, but I'd love a permanent fix if anyone has any additional ideas! Thanks! I've tried all the obvious settings, but can't figure it out. Is there an app that can help me figure out what the culprit might be?
(And can I just say, an edit to a post ought not fall under the "wait five minute" rule for new posters. Just my two cents .)

Use an app called Stay Awake. Works great for me.
