[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
This ROM is one I have been running for some time now, I threw it together because I was not in need of the T-Moble junk, nor was I wanting to run a ROM that has Carrier IQ (CIQ)

Telus does not include any junk other then the default background so its a pretty clean build.

Rom Features:

- Updated all apps that were out of date except the market (I hate the new market lol)

- Deodexed

- Zipaligned

- All apk's are MX0 compression to use less ram

and open faster

- Services.jar has been modified to include CRT off

and i have removed signature checking, so theemers and users

using widgets and stuff from other devices don't get a sig-missmatch on boot

and boot loop.

- Recompiled Stock Kernel to remove CIQ bits

- BLN support patched into services.jar (Note: you need to flash a bln supported kernel)

- Will work on T-Mobile or Telus Devices

- Carrier IQ (CIQ) is not existent in this rom so it wont be using your battery

spying on you, and using your data to transmit said data its collecting.

Call Recording APP by skvalex ( If you use my custom kernel )

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/44644505/CallRecorder_v.1.0.27_alpha_build05.apk

The app is offered on XDA for free but you can promote his work by Buying it in the MARKET

I am open for suggestions on this ROM but understand it was uploaded to be a stock rooted ROM for those who wanted it. I am also sharing this in hopes that other chefs may use it as a base so CIQ does not run ramped in the custom Roms here (I have not seen the removal on CIQ in any change logs)

Thanks.

Mr. X

Loaded up this rom and i can't seem to select Swype as my keyboard of choice! the apk and lib are in sys/app

any suggestions?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
Thats an interesting one, i hate swype so i never noticed, ill fix that and re-upload by tomorrow am.

Thanks for letting me know. It probably doesn't like the fact i optimized that apk.

Thanks Mr.X, Glad to see something for the t989D finally. Will test this out and report back.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] volkly:
That might be it, i tried using the swype and lib from the Tmo version and it said license mismatch and will operate in limited mode. Will you be able to upload the telus original swype apk from telus?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
check 2 posts above, iv'e already uploaded a fix.

Many Thanks!!! i was like a few seconds behind you in the post =)

Will reflash and let you know if its working properly!!

Thanks again for the stock rom and apk file
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
No problem, tomorrow i'll re-upload the fixed rom, and fix anything else users may find.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ijaved:
Nicee thank god there's telus users here as well lol..i just flashed juggernaut 3.5 so i will give it 4 more days before i reflash it wit this :))

just wondering is there controls for brightness? sometimes i get text in night (dark) and i hate replying to it cause of brightness... even when its at its lowest ? anyway to go more lower than the defaults?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
The brightness controls are as they were on the stock rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rekzer:
Wait wait wait..i just googled CIQ

Are you saying the T-Mo rom is tracking us such as Juggernaut/beastmod, and the Telus based ones arent? Wouldnt ROM developers have removed that?

Also, since this is Deodexed, can i apply the Lightning theme?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
See here: http://androidsecuritytest.com/features/logs-and-services/loggers/carrieriq/

According to my research 99% of US devices deploy Carrier IQ to some extent to collect data form your device, this can include but not limited too, keystrokes, device usage and app usage and what not, its pretty nasty stuff, and untill recently from the research from a XDA member by the name of TrevE, no one knew just how much data they were collecting and or are capable of collecting, IMO its a HUGE privacy concern, a security risk and it uses your battery and data to transmit usage stats over your 3/4G and wifi to a server on a regular basis.

The stock tmobile rom has carrier IQ in it have looked, as for the custom roms i do not know for sure but according to change logs i don't see they have removed it, the best way it so ask the chef.

Teluss roms, canadian devices to be specific do not have Carrier IQ (CIQ) in them as this technique of datamining/spying on the users is not deployed at all in canada.

Last time i checked to custom roms i have downloaded they still have the carrier iq stuff in them, its riddled in every apk and system libs, framework and the kernel. its very intrusive and a lot of work has to be done to remove it, but it cannot be removed fully, just crippled to a non working state 9not transmitting data at least).

And to answer your second question, yes you can apply a theme to this. its deodexed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rekzer:
Holy crap, im switching...would the kernels have such tracking methods also or can i load bullet with this?

Edit: This is probably why id see my battery drop 0-1% overnight on stock, and like 10% on any other rom with the exact same apps installed!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
With my experience with the HTC kernels they imbedded CIQ stuff in them, it was a config option to turn it on and off.

They also hide stuff in the ram disk, since i have not used the tmobile source i cannot verify this first hand, only from previous experience.

Also check this out

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rekzer:
Well damn, so ive wiped data/flashed your stuff/left stock kernel. This 'ram disk', does this mean that its possible its still hanging around?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
each kernel has there own ramdisk.

Any kernel based off the telus source, AND the telus ramdisk (initramfs) will be guaranteed CIQ free, i know my custom kernel is based off these and i *think* team kangs are as well, but i'd ask if you are concerned, they know there stuff and will be more then able to answer.

just found this as a reference

Kernel devs will want to check if CIQ_SUPPORT=y is enabled in the make config and if so, set to #CIQ_SUPPORT is not set and CONFIG_BUILD_CIQ=y to #CONFIG_BUILD_CIQ is not set

I have been running this ROM for a few days now and I am happy with the performance. Keep up the good work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] BACARDILIMON:
Well it seems I hit a lily problem maybe someone can help. I need to use wireless tether and I can't. I used titanium to free the wifi share manager and then deleted it. Reported but yet still can't get it to work. None of the wireless tether apps on market work. Any ideas.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
go to settings > wireless & networks > Tethering and portable hot spot

turn it on. its built in.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Genesis206:
Had the problem at first, but after numerous attempts at syncing manually and turning auto sync on and off, my exchange email and gmail started syncing. That was almost tragic for me not having my exchange account.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Blue1k:
I have solved my problem and how! Right now I have 50% battery after 11 hours of use! DAMN. So happy.

I have found that other roms for the t989 are not working as well with regards to battery management for the telus model.

Here is what I did:

1. I flashed back to Mr.X's rom and stock rooted kernel, changed my prop.build to wifi scan only 180ms instead of 90, and installed 2x battery app from market.

2. Charged the phone to 100%. Then booted into recovery and wiped battery stats. Then restarted and plugged the phone till it said full charge again and then unplugged.

That's it. No under clock, no under volt, no disabling of syncing. Wifi and bluetooth on. Everything else is running as usual.

So happy to have solved this. I had a similar issue with my Bell S2 and I was able to solve it then as well with some research and trial and error.

Cheers to Mr. X.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] BACARDILIMON:
I did that and nothing. Last night I relished Rom and kernel just to be sure. Same thing. I have tried the apps on market and it does not connect.

SO I WATCH THE VIDEO ON YOU TUBE AND FOR SOME REASON I DONT HAVE A TETHER MANAGER. I THOUGHT WIFI SHARING MANAGER WAS THE SAME BUT IT NOT. JUST WONDERING WHAT ELSE IS MISSING. ANY IDEADS?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Blue1k:
Probably need to wipe and reinstall the rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DesignGrits:
Do you have any pictures of the rom?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] BACARDILIMON:
It just a stock rom same as u got with phone minus t mobile crap lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DesignGrits:
Nice!.... Does it feel faster than the stock?

Question kinda off topic, but why does the T-Mobile version look different from the UK version of the SGSII? Is it just me, but it seems like it does. Even the accuweather widget looks like it has a time widget option that is non existent on my device. Has another tried to make a rom for the UK version on the TMO device? If so, what would it be called.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
So faux kernel won't work with this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
2 problems.

1: No 4g for tmobile usa - What's wrong?

2: Why does the vibrate status show whenever the vibrate is turned on? Stock t-mobile doesn't have this, how do I remove it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Blue1k:
You still have 4g. It just shows as 3g. Same thing for me when I flash a Tmobile rom on Telus version.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Ebaneezor:
you can verify the speeds using speedtest (I compared my old results with this rom and they are nearly the same - as they always vary)- but, ya - the 3g symbol is just a cosmetic issue, you are on 4g.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Chandalen:
awesomeness

thank you so much for your time and energy on this rom. Im running this rom with your latest synergy kernel and i must say that the battery life is outstanding and have not had any issues whatsoever. Your work is greatly appreciated.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Blue1k:
+1 on this. I am running this with 0.08 and your rom with 2x battery app.

Battery is at 60% after 6 solid hours of constant use. Getting about 18 hours on average.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] BACARDILIMON:
OK SO I UNROOTED MY DEVICE. WENT THRU EVERYTHING. I SAW TETHER MANAGER. I ROOTED AGAIN AND IT WAS STILL THEIR. AFTER FREEZING I WAS ABLE TO WIFI TETHER. I INSTALLED ROM AND IT WAS GONE AND I COULD NO LONGER TETHER. CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP. I POSTED THE PIC OF BARNACLE CAUSE IT HAS THE LOG.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Chandalen:
yeah, i would ask the dev of the app your using. Seriously people, think about what your problem is and go to the appropriate place for the solution. This is for questions pertaining to bugs in the ROM...not "how do i flash this...?" or "why isnt this kernel or that kernel working?"

As far as i can tell, there is nothing wrong with this rom. If you guys wanna know about other kernels other than the ones he makes for his rom GO ASK THE DEVS OF THOSE KERNELS! I was truely amazed that Mr X loaded all those and tested them out for people. My hat is off to you Mr X as i dont think many chefs have the patience you have.

I would also like to thank the guys that do help with simple questions here as im sure Mr X appreciates the help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
I dont mind flashing other devs work to test for my users as long as its a valid issue.

As for people helping others in here, i do appreciate it as i am just a single man and do not have time to address everything. I find it nice that the users help them selves and each other. It makes for a smooth and wholesome dev community when every one gets along and helps one and other.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Genesis206:
Themes from I9100

Since this is a port of the Telus ROM, is there any chance (and I know I'm reaching) that an I9100 theme would work over this ROM without too many resizing issues (or more serious ones)?

The ICS themes over there are perfect my comp with my .xml editor crapped out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skadude66:
No way they would work without a lot of work on the framework. Two different frameworks, a lot of potential issues. What's wrong with the T-Mo SGS2 ICS Theme?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Blue1k:
It doesn't work on this rom properly. Dialer has issues still with the theme. Dialer fix unfortunately didn't work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Genesis206:
Also some visual issues like the funny little symbol over the clear button, odd colored attach box in texts and the blue application button in the twlauncher. Not errors, but things i could do without that the other ICS themes don't have.

Quick Question : I am still on your .6 Kernel, would you recommend to flash your .8 kernel? I am doing so well with the current setup, i am afraid to mess it up.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
stick with it if you like, i just up patched, fixed cpu hot plugging and vdd tables on .8
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] trafficontrolr:
This ROM is outstanding and my battery life is fantastic. I have only one complaint, at night when i put my phone on to charge it ALWAYS wakes me up when the battery is charged! I have since killed the sound but I need a way to keep the screen from lighting up my room with that dumb notification. If it could be removed in a future update this ROM would be perfect. Thanks for making our phones rock!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JROCxvl:
I agree with you on the phone beeping and lighting up when it is fully charged. If Mr. X could remove that then this would be the best ever ever!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
I could probably remove that pretty easily out of the notifications, i'll give it a go later
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Genesis206:
Something mentioned in Beast Mod, but not in other ROM's: is throttling removed here? I'm guessing no as i'm throttled now, and this was my ROM of use at the time it happened.

If not, what can be added or removed to stop throttling on this and any ROM? If so, I'll have to figure out what happened.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] immunityx:
could you make a 4g icon patch for tmobile users?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Genesis206:
+1
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Genesis206:
I actually like the alert. If you remove it, could you make a patch so we can put it back?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
I'll probably make a patch to remove it as its mostly the tmobile users who are complaining about the notification since its not standard on there devices.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
You can not stop throttling anymore. When tmobile first started throttling it use to have some files that monitor how much data you use and it would throttle upon reaching the threshold. It was a simple removal. Tmobile has change it to monitoring data themselves. So once you hit the data cap t-mobile wlll throttle you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rekzer:
Did the half second delay ever get removed from the home button? Maybe possible to have a patch for that?

How does it compare in speed to say Juggernaut, should the same right?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Genesis206:
Fair enough.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Hey please be careful before doing anything! You still have to root your phone and you can find that option in the General and Development section. I can update this with the exact link later!

Yes, just like you already found out. This is actually the stock rom from the Telus build "T989D". It does not have the extended power option yet either. Essentially it is all stock but cleaned up/dexdoexed etc. I have the Tmobile "t989" and am using this purely because it works and is CIQ free. Also since this is essentially 100% stock there are no cyanogenmod features within it. You are going to have to wait for Cyanogenmod to become stable for this phone before roms based off of it start to appear.

Two questions? Any update on a patch for the 4G icon?

And, though this is a Telus ROM, is there any way we can get wifi calling into this ROM (love having access to the Samsung Market)?

If not, would you possibly create a stock ROM for the update? With your focus on removing CIQ and the stability of this ROM, I'd prefer to stick with your work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] raffness:
Thanks for the comments all. I know I need root first. There are some different post for root for this phone, I know this. I just wanted to see which one users here used. The more confirmed users there are using a particular method, the safer and more inclined I feel using the same method. If you don't want to help, then don't. No worries. Sometime all you have to do is point someone in the right direction. Did any of your teachers in school tell you to read the text and figure calculus out for yourself? Just sayin'.

This was discussed before, its a library opening up a sdio channel as far as i can tell for ciq to communicate, since ciq has been ripped out there is nothing for that channel to do.
