Finally I can love my phone again (as if I ever didn't)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ThC23:
Here we go, first time flashing a rom from The Darkside. Thanks.

Powered by the SGSII....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Royalknight6190:
I am glad you can love your phone again.

Welcome to the DARKSIDE, its going to be a fun ride.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] drewtang:
Should be able to update through rom manager...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] raycaster3:
Wait for it.....Welcome to the DARKSIDE!!! :cool::cool::cool:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kenvan19:
I'm super stoked to try your team's stuff. Let me say first off that I am a fan of little touches. The updater-script text is very cool and so is the boot animation.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jr_718:
Wow. Good job guys. Still got to wait before I can download..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skadude66:
How? I installed ROM Manager, is it by tapping More Recoveries? It had an error with permissions.

Wait, I'm confused. Our version of CWM is 5.0.2.6, so we have nothing to update then, correct?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Royalknight6190:
That sucks, sorry to hear that, it will be waiting for you when you can.

Thank you. I agree it gives it a nice look.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thederekjay:
y do you need his proprietary files, you have the same device?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] unlvmike:
No doubt its going to be a great rom. What I personally would like to see is 1.)a way to change the font

2.)a way to turn the capacitive buttons off like in TW settings under display.

3.) That's really it for me and the issues you guys will fix. That will have me make the switch permanently. Great job with this rom and thank you for coming with us. My first time using your rom and glad to have you guys here.

There is enough hate in the world. Why can't we all get along here ...?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mikeyinid:
I dont need them. Id just like to take a look at them. I just pm'd him my reason. Ill keep it out of the thread...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thederekjay:
Seems like you are trying to stir the pot. If you have an issue with the source or how it gets handled you can feel free to contact me at anytime. Proprietary files do not need to be/can not be uploaded to git considering, we as the end user do not have access to the source code for the files and we can not modify those files because they are in the compiled state. Hence the word "proprietary".
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mikeyinid:
Right, ok. Have a great night sir.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sarni84:
Well I think I can help you with font... Just download font installer from market it's free and works with our device ;-) also its great to see darkside here and tdj u guys rocked the mytouch 4g.....question is your build based off slayhers source or whatever source he uses? Because i think some people were trying to build miui from that source. If yours is any different it might help out with data issues, audio issues and so on. It would be nice to see a working miui rom here. You guys had a very nice miui rom on the mt4g
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] unlvmike:
Yeah I know that, but we don't have the option to change it in the settings under display

There is enough hate in the world. Why can't we all get along here ...?

Nice rom, snappy, but not a daily yet...great work though, cannot wait for the "final" product..

Glad to see you aboard.

Sent from my phone...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] super jay:
I would like to thank all of the devs who worked on this Rom. It is very quick and I am loving the lack of touchwiz :). Some glitches I have found are that it sticks when a reboot is attempted also I am having trouble running some root apps such as titanium backup and ROM manager. The root apps are probably an error on my end though so I'm going to try and play around with superuser a bit. I am interested to see how this ROM develops keep it going guys!!!

edit: I re installed superuser and it fixed my reboot issue and ROM manager appears to be working titanium backup still inst I'm going to try a different version of busybox.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Hekademos:
Cool thnx.

I didn't even think to look in the market haha.

I bet you some system data snuck in to my last restore. I was half asleep and not paying too close of attention when initializing it. I'ma give it another shot tonight.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mstrk242:
Actually I believe he was asking because he is one of the ones working on miui for our device, and with the old cm files there were data bugs. I'd imagine he just wanted to test with your files to see if any of the changes you guys made would help them get the data working. I could be wrong, though. (Not trying to start anything of course).

Now, as for reporting back for this rom, after a day of really using everything on it, I haven't found any additional bugs that haven't already been reported or are in the op. For the first day, battery life was damn good. (Still never a good test of the battery until a few full charges, so we'll see how it continues.)

It's very fast. It makes you realize just how fast the chip on this phone is, (not that it lags with touchwiz, but when you run cm and a much more optimized system, you realize what you've been missing.) Data and wifi speeds were excellent, I used bluetooth and gps pretty much all day. (I drive around for my job a lot, so lots of car time.) The gps is probably the fastest lock I've seen on any rom, any phone I've used. Very nicely done guys.

Also wanted to say thanks for dev'ing on our device. Really looking forward to what you guys do in the future.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mightyab:
Could I please get some help? I went into settings and checked the middle ring unlock button. (I even read the OP that this was a problem but got to overly excited) I unlocked it and went straight boot. Forgot to call it to fix the issue so I just went and did a fresh install and now it just gets stuck in bootloop and won't load at all. I even tried to restore a previous back up but it failed at the end of it. now I cant even get my phone out of recovery. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do. All help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mikeyinid:
Im not actually working on miui but have ties to the guys that are i suppose. And its a dead issue. These are classy gentlemen and we are lucky to have them here.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] raycaster3:
So you can't do a factory reset and wipe caches etc, and do a fresh install? Hmm You can mount the sd in recovery and pull another rom from your computer to your sd then unmount storage and flash that one if the cm7hybrid zip isn't working. Or....Idk that's what I would do if I was in your spot. In fact I HAVE been in your spot before ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mstrk242:
I couldn't agree more.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Royalknight6190:
Like Raycaster said you should do a full wipe. that should fix your issue. I understand that you dont want to set up phone again but thats the only fix. Sorry for the inconvenience. That issue will hopefully be fixed in next update.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mightyab:
Yes I have tried that and also what raycaster has said all gives me boot loops. Tried stock, beast mod, jugs, and royal cm7 no luck.

Edit: I got it working, mounted data and system than installed rom after full wipe. Thanks guys for the help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Royalknight6190:
dude I am worried for you, if you are wiping and formatting fully and its not letting you flash anything I dont know what to tell you. Have you gone into mount and formatted everything possible? Just trying to give you ideas to help you out.

Edit: just read you post, Thank God, I was honestly worried for you and your phone. Thank God.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] raycaster3:
Ok Here's what you do....Find the thread that shows you how to use ODIN to get back to stock and start over from there. I'll look for the link really quick here.

Ok here this link has a cpl different options for returning to stock. If what you are saying is accurate, I think you should try this while you can. Can you get into Download mode?

Thanks I was really worried to, and the wife want happy at all lol. But I finally got it working. Wow that was a scary moment.

Is your link down to download your ROM? It says be back up shortly where it was at earlier.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] super jay:
Anytime man if it doesn't work out let me know and I'll try to help Titanium backup has been giving me a bit of trouble today though, I'm working on it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mightyab:
Thanks so much for your help. I really appreciate you and royalknights quick response. You guys are the best. I thought I bricked my phone.

Good news with Samsung phones, as long as it boots(even if it's bootlooping) you are usually safe. I keep Odin and the stock Odin image onhand for just those occassions :)

Thank you all very much, have a great night.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] br00x:
Wow, my bubble has officially been burst :/. First it was my wifi...it wasn't connecting so I flashed the ROM over itself. Didn't work. So then I decided to re install as if it was my first time, did that along with wiping everything, fixing permissions ect..then wifi worked but no data...tried flashing on top of itself again and that didn't fix it. Then I kept getting fc's on media. So I just re installed zombie and its working fine. So I guess I'll have to wait until your next release :(. Unless you want to let me to test your "top secret" ROM RoyalKnight ;) lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Royalknight6190:
I am not sure what to tell you, no one else is complaining of wifi issues, I am in no way saying you are not having them because I trust you. If anything a lot of wifi issues are tied to kernel problems, I say try flashing another kernel in the rom and see what happens. Did you do formats of partitions along with wiping, my guess could be besides kernel that maybe something is hanging around from the last rom you flashed.

Does anybody else have this issue? if so I would like to know so I can add it to my to do list. Sorry that this happened to you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] br00x:
Ill give that a go tomorrow..and I read the past 10 pages or so and only one other person had the problem. And its all good I can handle one day without the ROM lol. I might get around to trying it tonight if my daughter decides to just stay up all night again like yesterday, gotta love newborns. But all in all when I didn't have bugs it was amazingly fast and smooth. once again, thank you for everything you guys do. I'm glad to see you and tdj over here.

Cool, trust me I will look into it. We are glad to be over here. oh dont remind me about newborns my wife is due any day with our 4th......dear God those sleepless nights, oh well one good thing is I will have more time to Dev. LOL Gotta think positive. :p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pyraxiate:
I don't suppose you wiped data/cache/system /dalvik several times first did you ?

I always wipe a minimum of 3 times prior to testing any rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] br00x:
Yeah I know how that goes haha, we were in and out for two weeks straight with false alarms and finally had her on the 22nd of this month and my son is almost a year and a half so ive had my hands full with him waking up everytime he hears his little sister wake up every two hours haha.

And to pyraxiate: yes I do everything 3 times then flash then wipe dalvik and fix permissions 3 times then boot.

Was just testing out my new SD card with SD Tools app when I found out my device is actually made by HTC? LOL?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Royalknight6190:
That is freaking awesome

Yeah I have a 6yr, 4yr and a 2yr old. Then with the new baby, we are going to have our hands full. lol

Just heads up great works in the making....Raycaster has a test build already of another Rom I am working on its freaking amazing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rUsTyRuSs:
If anyone is using da_g's kernel with this rom you can "Jimmy rig" fix the rotation by going to settings cm settings display rotation only 0 and 90°'s checked.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] br00x:
I plan on stopping with two haha, we have a boy and girl so we are set.

I will test that new ROM for sure!

What is the difference between the Rogers and AT&T versions of Da_G's kernel?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] raycaster3:
Rogers is AT&T's name for 4G LTE...I believe.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rUsTyRuSs:
No idea tbh, but I am sure the att version works
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cashyftw:
Awesome, Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skadude66:
Yeah, Rogers is basically a Canadian AT&T. Reason why I ask is because I'm on Telus, so I am wondering which one I should flash, either AT&T or Rogers.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mikeyinid:
Isn't Rogers a Canadian carrier? I would imagine the only difference in da_gs att and rogers kernels is boot logo like ours is different from telus. That's my guess.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skadude66:
Correct, Rogers is a Canadian carrier basically the Canadian AT&T, just like T-Mobile is the American version of Telus in a sense.

So long as I don't get weird issues or some random soft brick I might just flash either one ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skadude66:
For Telus users, this ROM has the signal bug where it shows HSPA instead of the 4G logo, but speeds are still 4G:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tehseano:
Could it be your theme, and not the ROM? ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skadude66:
I saw it for all of 5 minutes when I was on stock theme and before I setup my wifi ;) So I'm pretty sure it is ROM related. But, in all honesty, I don't mind the icon, it really isn't a bug IMHO.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mightymike889:
I Rly just want to say thank u to these developers!! I am so excited to flash this rom but I need to have my fone work perfect seeing I work for tmo n I show my fone n demonstrate stuff using my fone to customers. LOL but honestly I have read thru every post n this is the first thread that the development team is so nice, helpful and honestly Rly classy. Even wen the answer is infront of ppls face u guys still answer ...just Rly want to say thank u and I can't wait till everything is alil more stable no offense :/ but keep up the great work and I've been waiting for cm since I got my fone so I can't wait to flash the next update!!! :)

I want to try this. How are you finding it on Telus?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skadude66:
It's great! This ROM is amazingly smooth, has good battery life and not very many bugs for an Alpha build. Nothing that hasn't been reported and isn't very major. There is honestly no difference between Telus and T-Mobile, so flash away :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] SGS2X:
im not sure if it's been mentioned before but youtube freezes every 2 seconds. I tried different videos, it could be related to the netflix thing
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] darkamikaze:
can anyone replicate my brightness bug on the alpha of cm7?

Here's what you do.. set up brightness through custom settings in cyanogen mod settings and receive a phone call/after a few hours of usage.

When you screen off and screen on the brightness will be set higher than the lowest you have placed..

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Royalknight6190:
Yes that is not an issue in my book especially a signal bug, all that means is in the framework.res.apk there is both files 4g and H and the rom for some reason is using both, usually it only will use one. Or usually there is only one in there. On next release I will remove one of them.

So Question which icon do more people like? I prefer the 4G icon.

Thanks for the comments and input.

Thank you, I dont know anybody that got anywhere by being rude, cruel and just disrespectful. Like I have said before Sharing is Caring and treat people right and they will treat you right. Thank you.

Thanks for the input, we tried to make it fast, if you thought this was fast wait till you see my next rom. lol

Yeah I agree I am a little confused, I messed with the brightness all the time and never got this to happen. Are you running the rom now and did it happen? or is this something that happened on a previous version of CM. Just curious thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skadude66:
I know that Juggernaut has a tweak in ROM Control to change the icon, but in all honesty it's only an aesthetic bug. Nothing I can't live with :D Thanks for all your hard work!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mstrk242:
I believe the bug they are referring to is the auto-brightness bug. (Had the same thing on Slayher's build.) If you have auto-brightness on, and turn off the screen, when it turns back on the brightness gets stuck at a high level. If you turn off auto-brightness, however, the problem seems to go away. (At least for me it did.)

Now going on 2 days with this rom, and it's smooth as butter. Thank you very much guys.

Oh and another thing. I'm on Tmobile in the Baltimore area. Mine also shows an H for signal type but I do get 4G speeds as well. It flickers to 4g for a split second when sending / receiving but shows H ultimately
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] raycaster3:
There is an issue with this device (mainly stock variations for me) where if you use a third party brightness adjuster and turn the brightness all the way down then put the phone to sleep, when you wake it, it wakes at 50% brightness but the third party app will read 0%. You then have to turn it down again for it to return to 0%. That has been my experience with all stock variations including unrooted tmobile bloated yuckiness :p

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cubanito151:
When is the download link going to be back up im exited to flash this Rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Royalknight6190:
Last thing I will answer these in case people dont know. the H icon and the 4G icon are the same exact thing.....H = HSPA+ and 4G = HSPA+ its not like one means faster data then the other. because truly T-Mobile does not have 4G (which is LTE) they have 3G on crack to be blunt. hence why they call it HSPA+ instead of 4G, yeah they say they have the fastest 4G in America just because there HSPA+ network is extremely fast like 4G speeds, hell faster then 4G speeds in some areas. I know my SGS2 and my wifes MyTouch4G have faster data speeds then my friends Verizon Droid Razer. I hope this helps with the discussion.

I guess I could be completely wrong, but I am sure I am right....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mstrk242:
Heh, you're right. I've never noticed that before, probably because I don't play with the brightness much. Interesting, I wouldn't have seen it if you didn't mention it :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Royalknight6190:
I am sorry it will be up soon, I am rebuilding the rom with different files, hoping to fix the issues.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skadude66:
Yeah, makes sense. What does T-Mobile advertise the fastest speeds of their 4G as? Telus says that this phone can go up to 42Mbps, but I've always topped out around 20Mbps. Reason why I ask is because I've seen in the speedtest thread, users have gotten 25+ consistently.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Royalknight6190:
Truly someway I think they are cheating the system or they are standing right next to a tower or there is nobody on the network. I average speeds around 8mb down and 2.5mb up I think the highest I have ever gotten was around 12mb down. But that 12 is rare.

Sent from the DARKSIDE

The 42 max is theoretical. If you read the asterisks the real world max is about 21.

The "fix" for notification seems to be only if you are playing through speakers. I tried unchecking the box and while using a headset the volume still was lowered. Am I missing something here? I also tried it with always play sounds through speakers checked and unchecked.

Thank you in advance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skadude66:
I guess it is also dependent on wetter you are located and how much traffic is going through the towers. Testing at 4am compared to 5pm you will definitely notice a difference.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] raycaster3:
Actually the fix was recommended an I got so used to putting my phone on vibrate when I lift/listen to music so idk if it works or not yet. Sorry about that. I'm testing a version of the newest DARKSIDE rom now so I'll have to test this out later unless someone else wants to and report back. :D
