[ROM] VanillaRocket - Mods please close this topic

UPDATE 4
Hello all,

Pending a new release for this ROM, I will stop supporting the "0.3" version originally posted.

I would like some help deciding cosmetics & features next release before it goes live. Please complete the following brief survey:
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/VJRLWRZ

A lot of fixes and changes have been made and requests have been accounted for as long as they do not deviate from the nature of this ROM being clean, functional, stable, good-looking, and ready to be a base for future devs. The appearance will be very AOSP-ish but with traces of TouchWiz.

Heads up: there will be no XLoud\Beats Audio by default. We have enough audio issues as it is and these are IMHO not any better than using DSPManager (aside from having the cute Sony\Beats branding stamped on them).

I'm not releasing anything until I fix the damn call echo issue ...worst case scenario I will workaround it by keeping Noise Reduction off. But I want to fix it

General questions? post in the above link...it will help me keep track better
^^
I no longer wish to have two seperate topics. So post here...but wait till the next release before you do


First of all, thank you to Racing19969 and anybody else associated with the Skyrocket ICS port...you made this possible.
Also want to thank CyanogenMod (<3) and the original author of DSP Manager (will find credits tomorrow) from which I borrowing DSP Manager for this ROM
The goal: to make a CLEAN, no frills alien TouchWiz + ICS rom. Its not meant to be exciting or have a crazy amount of hacks in it. In fact as of right now, the only packages added from the community are SuperUser and DSP Manager. And I don't plan on changing that.

Current status is...the ROM is running and its running QUICK. But there are some minor issues to be worked out and some beautification to be done.

The priorities:
Stability
Friendliness
Battery Life

If you are going to comment without constructive criticism, then just look away from this thread. The ROM is what it is. If you are going to install it, I would appreciate pointing out as many bugs as you can

For right now (temporarily): I did add the wonderful, feather-weight Zeam Launcher alongside TouchWiz...this is because I had issues with TW force closing on me early on in the modification process. So until more progress is made on this ROM, I've decided to keep it in there in such an event that TW decides to be unhappy and constantly force close.

A *lot* of bloatware was removed, especially from AT&T and some of Samsung's own social/media/diary/etc packages. I want this ROM to be STABLE, fast, and clean.

Next release ETA:VERY VERY SOON. NOW THAT AUTO ROTATE WORKS :D

That being said, there are still issues to be worked out. Here is the list of changes made right now:

• Added DSPManager from update-cm-9-20120330-NIGHTLY-galaxys2-signed, not functional ATM
• Added Gallery, Mms, and Shutdown from GT-I9100 XWKI4 ROM; This fixes the shutdown issue, the Gallery landscape resize issue, and the delete SMS thread FC issue
• Also added Browser from GT-I9100 XWKI4 ROM; not only is it more stable but the Search icon is fixed in its place and it has more features
• Added apns-conf.xml from above CM9 nightly
• International Galaxy S2 boot animation (AT&T anim is hideous)
• Removed many many bloat; I'll try to compile a better list later
• Added latest version of Polaris Office from T-Mobile ROM...It's a simple, lightweight, and pretty good doc editor/viewer
• Already rooted

Thank you to markusf21 for providing the above mirror. Bandwidth costs money, so please give this user a thanks!!



PS, my personal opinion...install the Telus radio. no echo issues thus far. But if you don't know what a radio is....don't do it.
Update: I have big suspicions that this is a RIL or qualcomm audio config issue. It is now the priority problem which I will look to tomorrow..

Enjoy
Update coming tomorrow..

For today I am tired!

Hopefully I can get this one to boot. Raver's just gives me booltloops to eat. We'll give this a run. I'll report back.

Edit: booted right up and is going well. Nothing too crazy yet. Will keep you posted.

Youtube played well and video was right on. I could actually hold it in landscape and watch video with not much effort.
>>DARKSIDE

the first boot may take a few min as this is Deodexed

Also, nice to see a fellow P999er here

I have been running the port for the past 3 days and the only issue I have is the rotate and I know that's a kernel issue but that port took many flashes and reboots. Let's see if this one is easier to install and I'll report later.


Edit : I always use darkside wipe just like on my transformer there some kind of wipe just like it and I'm so glad that the gs2 has it too.

It's important to to siperwipe. Darksides script works perfectly everytime, but prior to using it it took me many attempts to flash the leak. I am looking into hacking usermode android into invertig the kernels auto rotation parameters. Dirty hack but I believe it is possible

by looking at the change log I think you are on the right track! I do have one question, on the ics skyrocket leak, I noticed there is a lot of freezing and watching streamed videos is damn near impossible it lags beyond belief, so I was wondering if you had a chance to take a look at some streamed videos.
