I am also getting more force closes. I am not sure what the problem is though. Maybe its the leak itself. It started with Chrome (but only when I launched it), now Youtube is experiencing the same (again, only when I launch it). I wonder if it might be a Google log in issue or something across apps?
Well here is a quirk I have not seen before; I installed Twitter from the Gplay and it put the icon behind the launcher. Could not use and it was between screens. Uninstalled/re-installed fixed it.
This happens with any icon. I have 4 stick between pages and cannot remove them.

At the beginnings everything was perfect. But using for 24 hours realized that are some issues. I really like this ROM so perhaps there is some fixes to this soon. I want to add that this is the 2nd ROM I test (the first SilverUCLD2) and both have issues. This is something I believe expected at this early stage from a leak.
AT&T Syrocket i727
- Icons getting stuck between pages.
As romracer stated, it is a TW Launcher bug. It happened on GB and other ROMS as well. It won't happen if you put icons on the homescreen yourself instead of letting the Play store do it for you.
- Many lock-ups and randoms freezes. Mainly with Media files.
- Issues checking emial: "Unable to load message. Message too long" -- random
I think these two issues are related. I had this problem to begin with and here is what I did to fix it. When you launch your Email program (not GMAIL but the stock Email program) try to delete a message. If it hangs (and it will if you have this issue) and says "deleting", but doesn't actually delete the message, press the "home" button on the bottom and get back to your homescreen (while your Email is still running). Then, go to "settings", "applications" and chose "running" (from the top). Scroll down until you find "Email" and click on it. You will see that it lists "Social hub" as running along with the Email app. Next, force stop the Email app. Then, scroll down a little more and you should see 2 instances of Social hub running. Force close both of those as well. Now go back to your home screen and open the applications manager and "close" Email. Open the stock Email again. All should be good now. This is what worked for me anyway.
- Delayed responses. I took the SDCARD out and response was much better. Perhaps is something with the cache and with sdcard with lost of media. My card is 32g and is 50% full.
Not sure about this one, but I noticed if you let the phone settle for a little while after a boot that it runs much quicker. Perhaps it could be a cache issue.
- Folder size too large. When creating folders in home page, opening these folders are sized incorrectly and cannot be resized.
Not sure about this on either.
I am also getting more force closes. I am not sure what the problem is though. Maybe its the leak itself. It started with Chrome (but only when I launched it), now Youtube is experiencing the same (again, only when I launch it). I wonder if it might be a Google log in issue or something across apps?
Yeah, it's weird. It's happening regularly for me with Words, Task Manager, and the e-mail app. But sometimes it'll do the random vibrate thing while I'm just looking at the home screen, and there's no error message displayed. Assuming it's a background task force closing and then restarting.
Was looking forward to ICS, but it's soooo NOT ready for prime time on the Skyrocket, even after all of ROMRacer's excellent work. I think it's back to GB for me until the devs get their hands on an official release and source for a few weeks.
Changelog:
Alien ICS #7.3
- Updated Google+ (full release only).
- Removed AT&T Address Book Sync.
- Removed broken Yellow Pages contact.
Thanks for the 7.3 update; the AT&T/YP thing bugged me every time I used contacts. Battery life is improving over time.
Flash the KOB4LT Theme.......? Works well if you MAKE SURE TO DOWNLOAD UCLD2 VERSION!
Here
Screenshot:
Wanted to give an update to my earlier post on Page-9
Actions Taken:
- Reflashed 7.2
- Formatted SDCARD
Everything seems to be working now good and fast except two thing explained below.
However, I have not reloaded all my media back on my SDCARD which is about 16 Gb.
Once I reload all my media back into SDCARD I will provide another update.
The two things not working:
1) The folders size in home screen. Still when creating a folder in home screen it is not sized properly when you open the folder, for the screen size of the skyrocket. Also the margin where icons are placed is too large on left. It seems as if this was configured for a larger screen (maybe Note?)
2) The icons (shortcuts) get stuck in between the pages. I have not have this happen to me yet -- Maybe this is fixed but I have been very careful now when moving icon shortcuts with my pulse not to release ahead of time - so maybe it has been -- although it seems that the potential is still there.
I am not planning for now to update to 7.3 since the fixed do not impact me.
Thank you for a nice ROM -- I REALLY like your ROM.

OK
Have my SDCARD loaded now with all data and media.
Also foreclose Social HUB (x2) as indicated by scott14719 on Page-9
ROM looking GOOD! and FAST!
Just the two exceptions listed above -- If there is just a fix for these that I can manually do or flash via CWM for the above this will be nice.
Thank you for a nice and very well debugged ROM!
Thanks for the screen shot post, I am liking how that theme is. Have you had any major or minor issues so far?
This ROM looks excellent, but was trying to find the circle or honey comb battery mod, seems like that theme has it, I really like how that screen looks. Hope official source come out sometime so we can get some BLN rocking
Does this ROM include a radio/modem. If so, which one is it and where can I download it? If not, ... er, same questions. LOL I want to revert to the radio I had before I went messing with other T989 radios and screwed it up.
I did miss it, sorry. But I don't want UCLD2, actually. I'm on T-Mobile, so I'm trying several of the T989 ICS radios out there.The first post clearly states this. You must have missed this
Item #1 said the modem is in a different flashable ZIP. So no it doesnt include the modem. If you want it, click that link and it will be the UCLD2 one.

Hey RomRacer---Any updates planned soon? Please save us from some of these other devs that require users to format 12 times, while facing east, jumping on one leg, and chanting to the ROM gods to get their stuff to work...
This Rom's had me really satisfied, everything is running smoothly, but today I saw this:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27014974&postcount=1
it has an app that verifies if the kernel is unsafe because of this:
https://plus.google.com/117962666888533781522/posts/YPDxnye6rEw
Does anyone know what to expect? what to do? Should we go back to gingerbread?
I'm still using this ROM and it still is working great. As mentioned before, data / signal loss is an issue that shows just every once in a while. For me, it only happens when I'm going from WiFi to tower or tower to WiFi. If I toggle the "data" botton it starts to work again quickly. But, like I said, it only happens maybe once out of 20 times or so (for me). I think it is clearly a bug of the UCLE2 leak in general.
More interesting though, is the Kernel that mohan_kr released here:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1701189
I have not tested it, but he claims the source code used in this kernel has fixed the "touchkey" issue. I think he based it off of the Korean version of the phone but I wonder how difficult it would be to identify the working code in that kernel and transfer it to this one (with his permission of course). I am hoping AT&T will drop the OTA soon with these slight issues fixed so we can just flash the OTA Alien ICS build.
