Arrow [ROM] Alien ★ Build #3 ★ 11/16



Alien ROM provides a concocted stew of TouchWiz, and Gingerbread for your Galaxy S II Skyrocket. Samsung's TouchWiz functionality stays intact, but the Alien theme brings a slight hint of traditional Gingerbread to the party. There are very few theme changes with this ROM.

  • It's not working when I install! I'm receiving force closes, sitting at bootloops, etc.
    Make sure you're installing the ROM correctly. Remember that kernels, MODs, radios, and carriers can mess with your phone's performance and workability.
  • Ahh! I'm having trouble receiving MMS messages.
    This may be caused by the removal of Carrier IQ. I'm working on a version without the Carrier IQ removal.
  • I'm not on AT&T and this ROM is completely broken!
    This ROM is not necessarily designed for international compatibility. Please wait for future updates or attempt an install with a proper international kernel.
  • Why is my device running/booting slowly?
    Your first boot will take an unimaginably long time. After that, your device will continue to run slowly until the application cache is built up. Don't worry, the speed will increase as you use the ROM!
  • Why is my battery life bad?
    Your battery life is often killed when flashing ROMs in CWM. For the best battery life, you must drain your device’s battery until it turns off. Plug the device into the AC adapter and let it charge till the image says 100% charged. Then turn it on and use the volume buttons to boot into CWM. Click Wipe Battery Stats under the advanced menu. Then you should charge to 100% and install the ROM. Battery life should be comparable to (if not better than) every other ROM.
  • Where's my bloatware?
    Alien deletes unnecessary bloatware that can be replaced by better applications in the Android Market. If you'd like the bloatware back, you can download the "bloatware.zip" from the download website.

It's not uploaded quite yet. Finishing up some last minute things. Taking much longer than I thought. Should be up within the next few hours depending on my upload speeds and other factors.

Sorry guys! Coming soon.

Awesome news now we have proven developer working on things. I have missed Alien after moving from the Atrix.
Quotes to Live by:

If a problem can be solved there is no use worrying about it. If it can't be solved, worrying will do no good.

Don't complain unless you are willing to offer a solution and participate in the solution. If not then SHUTUP!!!
