Absolutely should work, however, you have some homework to do in order to ensure success. You will need a new recovery, new radio and might need to jump to ICS first, not sure. One other thing I would recommend is turning on your GPS and getting a GPS lock before rebooting to flash a new radio, recovery and ROM if coming from GingerBread as you are...
Head on over to Vincom's 1-Stop Sticky Thread, which contains information all about the SGH-i727 Skyrocket, and the T-Mobile Dev Thread. The Hercules is almost identical and hardware, and most Skyrocket ROMs should work on both, with maybe one issue of screen orientation (turned 90 degrees).
There are radio links in the OP of my SlimKat Hercules thread.
Read up in those threads, and then find a newer recovery and radio that you need need to proceed.
Thank to Slimrom
I'm very happy to keep my old pal (T989) on working everyday with Slimrom.
I change from CM11 to Slimkat build 7 serveral months agos.
I flashed by zip with CWM, it was working but couldn't reboot by default, dark screen and no response anything. I think it was my fault.
Then I restored and flashed it again with Rom Manager, it's successful.
With mini gapps pack, Rom (build 7) works like a charm. Then I disabled some google services for better RAM and speed (for example Hangout is kinda heavy)
Herein is some point that I think could make it better:
There is no option to change launcher ( Nova launcher by default)
There is no option to change/customize clock widget on LockScreen (DashClock Widget by default)
Recent Apps function: didn't show the latest using app on the list (when my current screen is homescreen).
Recent Apps function: Couldn't access to previous app (Close App error)
Step to reproduce: If you're using App A, then App B, you try to access App A via Recent Apps function. Then error message "Close App" will be display. But luckily I've found my own way to resolve, just change to random App C, then back to App A as usual (a little bit unconvenience but it was not a problem)
Notification couldn't updated by user behavior. For example, I have notification for new message on Viber, then i access Viber to check a new message ( do not touch on Notification ), so this notification will be remained for a long time ( until I touch on it for re-read)
I couln't tested with build 8 due to camera error ( couldn't handle camcorder function, couldn't focus) but I'm really happy with the build 7.
Thank you.
Can't hear or make calls after flashing
Installed the stable Slimkat for t989 I can't hear any dialing sound or anything when somebody calls me :/ back to stock

Stable version 8? No such issues have been reported. Bugreport?
One Skyrocket user has reported the inability to receive casks in WEEKLY version 8.12.1. He went back to weekly version 8.10 and incoming calls are working. These phones share a lot of source code.
It must be caused by something merged since the 8.12.1 WEEKLY.

Yes. 8.0 stable release from the site slim-hercules-4-4-4-build-8-0-official-6919
as for the bug report I panicked since I needed the phone in working state withing an hour so I flashed the stock firmware back so not much help from me now . But yeah I called a phone in the household and phone was making a call its just I couldn't hear the dialing tone and when the second person picked up it was dead silence on my side.
This is not he first time I had this issue previously I tried cyanogenmod 10.2.0 stable and had the same issue out of nowhere after month of working just fine
Thanks for the feedback. Full wipe, including /data wipe or factory reset?

All you have to do is install another launcher, then press the home key and select your preferred one and select "Always"...

You have to allow lock screen widgets, then drag it off the screen and add what you want.

What other apps do this? Tapatalk does this for me on CM11S with my OnePlus One even. Probably an app issue.

Full wipe. Camera is fine on Build 8.

No problem. Sounds like a radio issue though or dirty flash.

I'm using the build by Dan that fixed calling, and I'm getting a huge memory leak problem. The Base System process would start using 100 MB to 200 MB of my RAM, while hogging a part of my CPU at all times. I was watching a video earlier and noticed my CPU usage jumped to 100% and the available RAM started going around 200 MB before the system killed my on-screen system stats display (Cool Tool). I didn't have any other apps running and nothing was being updated at that moment. The video started getting choppy and my phone froze soon after. If you need a log from me, I'll be happy to provide one.

Have you tried the 8.16 weekly from the Slim site, or the test build I posted? Either way, there shouldn't have been any changes (that I made, at least) which would cause such a memory leak...
Clean flash? What GApps version? What app were you using to watch video? YouTube has had some intermittent issues, and I have also heard of recent Google Play Services issues...
If you can start a new thread in the Slim Hercules forum and post a good description with a Slim bugreport, it may be helpful. See Post 2 of the main thread for more details on helping to squash any bugs.
After I installed the rom, the slim gapps, and supersu, my phone did not boot up and did not even show a bootanimation. I tried going into recovery to restore a backup but it would not enter recovery mode. There would just be gentle vibrations and then a black screen. I was using TWRP v2.8.4.0. I would prefer to avoid the hassle of flashing through odin. Please help, thank you.

Can you get to download mode? With phone off, hold both Vol Up & Vol Dn while plugging a computer USB cable in.
Sounds like a bad flash, bad download, recovery issue, or possible h/w problem. The fact that you can't get to recovery suggests a recovery or h/w issue to me.
Does the below work for Recovery mode?
Press and hold Vol Up, Vol Dn and Power for 2 seconds, then release Power but continue holding Vol Up & Vol Dn until recovery loads.

Great job guys. Going to wait till a more stable build but you guys should be very proud of yourselfs. None the less this is great work. Made my day knowing there are people like you guys.
Build you just posted
Just downloaded it and tested, the issues with the navbar/status bar etc. are still there.
Can' t wait for this to be finished, thanks for the hard work.
I just got to flashing this
I don't get navbars, status bar, or notifications shade either.
Volume buttons do nothing, trying to change brightness crashes Settings, there is no power menu.
The default CM12.1 wallpaper is also missing (black screen) and there is an icon missing from the dock.
Strange.
I couldn't test the camera (because I can't navigate anything without back or home buttons), so I can't say much about that.
Keep up the good work though, I'm more than willing to test any new builds!
Keep us posted!
Camera m9 sense port
Has anyone tried using the sense port for all aosp roms from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/themes-apps/mod-htc-one-m9-camera-port-t3056305
To see if that makes the camera work?
After flashing the 2 June build and then the current build, all seems to be working.
Interested....however need 2.8 firmware as base and everything working good battery life before I make the transition which I'm guessing could be awhile. Dolby audio also very important.. will keep checking thread for updates thanks for your efforts

In safe mode :/
I installed it and everything but it boots into safe mode, problem is when i try to turn it off using power button it just restarts phone into safe mode without asking to power off or anything! Anyone got anything?
Not sure if OP or any of the devs are reading the Q&A section,
but I've been using the latest build (with the 2 June flash before, of course) on 1.32.* as my daily ROM since the statusbar/softkeys fix was posted.
Some interesting negatives/bugs I've noticed:
No double tap to wake
Battery usage data never shows up
Cannot search for service providers (Get an error, but selecting auto works and finds the correct carrier)
Possibly unrelated but the quick settings tiles for the notifications shade are extremely limited (No volume or independent brightness tiles, et cetera. I think these need to be implemented by the rom developer, as they exist for other CM12.1 devices on official roms)
Otherwise, I think all is working fine. (Well, minus what was marked "broken" (camera, USB OTG, ...) but it looks like there were recent commits on github for the SoC, so maybe this or a fix for newer frameworks is coming!)
Battery life is better than sense, and everything is much snappier. Xposed works (using v65 for now), as do most lollipop modules. (Except Amplify which blocks no wakelocks, but I think this is an arm64 issue because many M9 users are reporting this in the Amplify thread, even on Sense/"stock" roms.)
If anyone sees this (with more than 10 posts lol) please direct OP to the Q&A section so he can see these issues.
I'll continue to use this for now, I haven't had the reboot problem other people are experiencing.
If there's anything someone would like me to test, I'm more than willing, just let me know.

I think the actual rom implementation (drivers/firmware) is the problem with the camera.|
It turns out that mods removed the download link in that thread anyway.
Sorry!
Unofficial cm 12.1 hima
I have flashed the ROM as instructed ... And all works well until the phone goes to "sleep". I an unable to wake the device. I have to power off and reboot phone. Is there a fix for this?
Downgrading Firmware
I've frankly had quite enough of the Sense UI, however, after flashing this ROM, I experienced the sporadic reboots and navbar issues which many other users have posted about. Some say that flashing back to the 1.32 firmware (in my case from 2.7) will fix the issue, but won't this bring back overheating issues and terrible performance?
@BananaMasamune and @rickymartel01,
Did you both flash the 2 June build before the 5 July build? That seems to have fixed navbar issues for most people.
Downgrading firmware fixed sleep and reboot problems for most of us as well.
I was never on 2.x so I'm not sure about performance problems, but it definitely feels faster and more fluid than Sense on 1.32.x
European
Is it working for European device?
---------- Post added at 08:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:43 AM ----------
Is it working for Eruropean devices?
@dreznik82,
My device isn't from the United States, and it works for me.
Check to see if your phone is GSM or CDMA.
There is a list on HTC's website somewhere that lists carriers, and tells what version of the phone they have. Many of the GSM phones are WWE (world-wide edition, international) and can be used with this.
Nice work
Good work guys. How long you reckon it would take to get this as a stable nightly build once broken items have been resolved?
Also no status bar and navigation bar on mine as well
Does anyone know if xposed works ?
fix for downgrade
could you try to fix the ''downgrade'' problem in the next update?
because I am not able to downgrade (don't know why)
thanks
@Galaxysm , Xposed works.
@Rogi1997 , Are you S-Off?
Ever since I updated to Nougat I've been experiencing lags everywhere. Can't play videos on mx player as it slows down and then speeds up. Even unlocking my phone takes 3-4 seconds after touching the fingerprint scanner. I have not rooted my phone or unlocked the bootloader.
Please help.
This is a common bug in official P2 Nougat software. There are several threads about it in the lenovo-forum (https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/P2-P2a...and-Whatsapp-still-have-problems/td-p/3642232)
Official devs and admins know this bug and are "looking into it" for nearly a year now - no response, nothing. The nougat software is just not finished and will never be finished.. You need Android 6 to run the P2 smooth.
I do not know if this bug also occurs in the custom roms - maybe someone with those lags/stutter in offical nougat who switched to custom rom can confirm if they are gone

Hi. I recently bought RN5 AI and I am pretty happy with what I have for this price range, I am happy with MIUI 10 but I feel that I like the stock Android experience better, so I have some questions regarding this :
1- if someday I want to sell the device and lock the bootloader again, will it show on the bootloader status as locked or RELOCKED?
2- does the latest magisk work on MIUI 10? And does Xposed work as well?
3- do custom ROMs in general feel smoother than MIUI 10? And is multitasking better overall?
4- What is the main disadvantage? and what should I look for when I unlock the bootloader?
.
Thanks a lot in advance, I hope I can get all the answers I need from you guys, this forum is the only place I can find those answers.

1. EDL flashing via MiFlash has "CLEAN all and LOCK" button which flashes ROM and LOCK B/L but only authorized ACCOUNTS can do EDL flashing and bad news is in order to enter into EDL mode, two points on motherboard required to be touched by wire/metal and simultaneously usb should be inserted
2. Magisk YES, xposed NO
3. YES but in all roms whatsapp and fb messenger calling/hearing voice notes etc, closes the screen for 2/3 seconds , don't know why
4. your device become more dependent on you and too many options of new roms/kernel/mods keep you always on toes to flash more and more and again and again! i found it addictive! , also your device become insecure, and anyone can extract your data (if you didnt set finger scanner on custom rom) then you /data paritition is not encrypted and your privacy is at risk
but at the end! for me, its learning experience and if I am only gonna keep Droid on locked bootloader , never test rom, never tweak fone and have fun with it...... then i should better buy iphone
Hi guys I know android version matters but I had a doubt that . Does miui does the job or is android version very necessary cause I use custom ROM havoc os for now but I want a stable software and if I install miui 10 will I miss something and miui too has some features and I quite miss it on custom ROM .
But I wanted to know that weather custom ROM is safe to use for a longer time as I don't want to lose data and not interested in changing ROM frequently and as miui gets on updated every now and then is there any difference or it's just the same
I was a long time android user and if I found a rom that did what I needed and was stable I did not continuously update unless I had bugs.
Usually the new features or fixes are minimal unless going between android versions - marshmellow to oreo for instance..
I am now using Miui, other then the screen layout it is pretty much the same. not seeing anything different in my day today usage other then I have started using gestures and full screen (so no navigation bar at the bottom but still have the status bar at the top).
There ARE a couple of things I need to resolve - ads in the file manager (will look to stop that, or see if a 3rd party manager removes them). but give them a go and see what works for you..
