Just Thought id share. The skyrocket roms work on our phone too. Just flashed the Alien ROM just to see. Everything worked fine, granted there was some att crap in wifi settings that is useless to us, but at least we know we can use their stuff too. I also flashed jugs kernel with the rom as Im sure the kernel is different, but maybe not. Anyway, just wanted to let you know. Oh, they just got an ota to 2.3.6 yesterday, ill post the system dump here in a few. Hopefully the devs will move to that base.

*I thought I'd throw a zip similar to what they have together. I think this zip will do the trick. Give it a shot and let me know if auto rotate is still borked. I dont think it will be but I have CM7 setup and working audio so I dont want to ruin that :p Let me know and Ill fix issues if there is any.

Conversion

*NOTE: This is for Samsung ROMS only. Do not try it on CM7 or anything aosp.

Haha my buddy has a skyrocket and was so PSYCHED now that they are getting more dev traffic to their forum lol. I know they have been toying with our Roms so nice to know it works both ways :)

Very good idea and thanks for the heads up.

By the way, the Alien ROM for the skyrocket kicks ass on our phone. I flashed it with whatever kernel it comes with and I've noticed a reduction in the stutter.

It does have a an issue with our accelerometer it seems though.

Does this Alien rom have anything special that our rooms don't have? Kind of what to try it out, but not sure if it's worth it. Any other bugs besides the ones stated?

Its the same as what we have. Its in between stock and Juggernaut I'd say. Has reboot options and stuff. Mostly stock. Seems pretty responsive

    I changed the APN, the GPS.conf file and edited the build prop for our phones. Been using it for 3 days now and have had no problems. Anyways, enjoy!

    Do u think you could fix the auto rotate issue in the zip as well. I always use mine and hope IRS possible. Thank you for your work

    OK, I think this zip will do the trick. Give it a shot and let me know if auto rotate is still borked. I dont think it will be but I have CM7 setup and working audio so I dont want to ruin that :p Let me know and Ill fix issues if there is any.

    hspa+ worked for me too. Data speed comparable to EB. GPS doesn't work for me though.

    put the attached file in /system/etc and set permissions, should fix gps

    *geez, invalid file. ill zip it, so just pull the gps.conf and do what i said ^thar
