came out yesterday. didnt see it mentioned on here (why?). Its amazing..... nuff said. its worth it just for the SR settings. GO NOW and THANK IHTFP69.
This ROM is nice. I only recently rooted, tried Cyanogen 7, then switched to this because its like Sense.
I don't really get how this is any better than not being rooted though? I maybe have a little better battery life, and the bloatware is gone. But can you under/over clock using SkyRaider? Sorry I'm a newb to Skyraider, and rooting.
I had a thunderbolt for a little while. It does that green flashing thing when you're in a call too. I don't know if that is a Sense 2.0 thing or what.Bizarre lock screen issues when call received. Some apps didn't perform reliably. Didn't like some of the enhancements, thought they were silly. Overlapping configuration options. Green flashing notification bar when call active (as if I didn't know?).
How do you get at the extra toggles. I read that SkyRaider has them, but I haven't seen any, other than the normal android power toggles.3.5 is a proven stable platform. Biggest difference to me are power widget toggles. In 3.5 you have to edit a text file, in 4.0 it's a nice app. Big deal, you set it up once.
Fair enough.Of course once 4.0 has been widely tested and tuned it will probably be great. I'm more interested in a reliably working phone.
After I installed the Incredikernal, I was looking at phone info, and I saw Skyraider there, and it said "BETA" I was a little worried. I didn't realize I had downloaded the beta version. I thought 4.0 had been out for a while. I mean, so far it's been fine, but I normally don't do beta's either. I wait till a rom is tried and true.Great respect and appreciation for people who spend time creating these ROMs for free distribution. Great work all around. The real problem was I broke my own rule and tried out the latest version without waiting for it to be proven.

There's a patch to download and flash that removes the "beta" from the name.
That will fix it for sure.
Would I be okay doing a All Apps + Data Titanium backup, installing SK 4.0, and then Restore Missing Apps and Data? I ask, because it says not to restore any data, but I was wondering if it was okay for "missing apps".

But it will still be a beta ROM. That is my concern, that it will be buggy since it's a beta. I'm not worried about the name.
It's not a beta ROM. As I said above, the dev just forgot to change it. The dev is awesome. He has a group of testers that he works with for beta testing. I've had exactly zero problems with this ROM. It's really good and totally stable for me. I think most of the problems people are having are due to mods that aren't compatible or restoring system data from titanium.
So that is all that patch does? Just changes the system info label for the ROM?
I just installed the patch after I read your post. And it seemed to work.
I was just curious if that is all it does.
I agree that this ROM works flawlessly. I don't know about Titanium, because I've never used it. I always do a factory and cache wipe, before installing any new ROMs, and I just manually restore everything. It's a pain, but it seems to work better that way. Plus I don't really care if I lose my SMS messages or whatnot or call history. And I don't change ROMs very often anyway.
But this ROM is very stable, I've seen only one possible glitch, and maybe it really wasn't.
I took a few pictures with the camera, which was set to store pics on the phone's internal memory (which I didn't know at the time). And when I connected the Inc to my computer, I couldn't find the pics. They weren't in the DCIM folder, which I understand now, it's because they weren't on the microSD at all, but on the phone's storage. But even after I unplugged the usb, I couldn't find those pics anywhere on the phone. And when I looked at the gallery, the "Camera Shots" folder wasn't even there. Then about 30 minutes later, it just showed up again. And I could look at those pictures I took.
Since then I changed the camera to store pics to the SD card. I haven't used the camera since then, but I'm assuming that fixed the issue.
As far as I could tell from the thread on the xda forums, yes.
Camera pictures is about all I use the internal storage for. I did a test shot to be sure and it worked fine. I wonder if the internal memory took a while to re-mount for some reason after disconnecting from the PC.
But I couldn't find them on my computer when connected either. Is that possible to view the phones internal memory via USB on my computer?
