The downloaded ZIP is nothing I'm worried about, might just be me then.

I actually DID read the starting post, for reals. Not that I'm hating on orange, I'm an artist and am quite fond of colors. Let me ask you this, does flashing a theme affect any performance settings and tweaks? I'm sure the answer is "no", but I have to ask to be clear.

This is the beta kernel?! Sweet, seemed like the beta5 was buzzing on Faux's thread.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] FiveOhFox:
Themes may actually hurt performance. If the creator does not decompress and zipalign the apks in their theme package, performance will suffer..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dirtybudha:

I'm interested in flashing this but would like to know a couple of things:

1. Does this include Vlingo by long-pressing the search button like the stock rom? I use that on a daily basis and am looking for a rom that didn't remove this.

2. Does this have the throttle fix for 4G?

Thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] FiveOhFox:
It does have vlingo just checked. And it still throttles as far as I know, I haven't started that project yet.

Can't use Titanium Backup to restore all my apps + data. Tried it 3x per flash (3 flash each). Going back to my old ROM for now but I will try again later on when the issues are fixed. (I.E. the one I have and throttling).

By the way, no disrespect intended on this post. I like that you added the battery % within the mod so we don't have to go through the extra work on flashing it. Kudos to you for this being your first ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dirtybudha:
Titanium worked for me. Did you re-download it from the market?

Huh...I rooted mine and that battery wasn't as good as with this ROM. Then again, each machine is different. I also flashed GideonX's OC_UV settings to help as well.

As I am rather new to ROMS and flashing, I am not exactly sure to flash this over. Is it applied the same way a new rom/kernel is with CWM?

Unplugged this morning roughly two hours ago and already at 85% with a total use of about 10 text messages back and forth, screens been off otherwise.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] lilsaiful:
Yes I did.

EDIT***

I just flashed BeastMod 4.2 (was running 4.0 before) and TB restore is working. Before it was stuck at 0% but now it's not.

---------- Post added at 09:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:49 AM ----------

For ROMs, step 1 is that you have to do a factory reset/data wipe. For kernels, every step is same way besides step 1. You do not have to do that for kernels.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dirtybudha:
I flashed the ZIP through Recovery, no issues. You can find the reboot option in the pull down menu, then scroll the top, where WIFI is, to the left and you'll see it. Reboot into recovery.

- Clear Cache

- Clear Delvic Cache (under advanced)

- Then install the ZIP file.

- under advanced, fix permissions

- reboot system

Of course,

do a backup before you flash anything

.

I was getting that kind of battery with stock. Again, each phone is a different beast and can operate differently. Always give a ROM a couple days of use to settle.

Welcome the addiction known as flashing...the legal kind without a trench coat.

I'm liking this ROM better than anything else since Bombarider - very fast and great battery life.

I wonder if any of the advanced power menus are in the works (I think that is what they are called - when powering down you get the option of choosing shut down, reboot, reboot to recovery etc.)

That would be nice.

And is there any way to flash a separate boot animation or is that baked into the ROM?

These are small things I realize...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dirtybudha:

Seems the infamous ICS theme for all ROMs crashed my dialer app. Couldn't dial a number if my life depended on it. I had to reinstall GingerSnap, a few times, to find out that it was the issue. Set everything back up, and just finished the back-up.

Hmm, you'd have to talk to the themer about that, it's an xml file that needs to be changed. In framework-res.apk IIRC.

Thanks! Ok, I'll add that to the changelog. For now, look in another ROM in /system/app for the apk then just add it to yours. That should work..

Yes I will be working on this for a while! It'll be interesting when we get CM9 and MIUI, I'm excited :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Theonlyblackju:
It's nice to have such an active dev without drama :D. I was just reading the changelog about adding boot animations and wondered if you had any startup/shutdown animations in the pipeline?

Also, what's this Dag version? I wasn't around for that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] BIGWORM:
DaG version uses the DaG kernel from the ATT Skyrocket. From what I've heard, they're smoother as far as scrolling, but has an auto-rotation issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] FiveOhFox:
Nothing yet, right now I'm just trying to make it so users can use their own bootanimation.zip files. Unfortunately this is on the kernel side because the kernel determines what to do at boot.

Maybe after all of the functionality features are solid I will start working on more fluff such as custom boot animations and such :D

The Da_G kernel was from the Skyrocket forum. It was insanely fast but it broke autorotation because their accelerometer was different. On release, I had two options in the OP for which version of GingerSnap you wanted, one with faux123's kernel and the other with Da_G's. Da_G's came out running at 1.72GHz though so it locked up most people's phones on boot. I pulled the link to prevent any bad tastes for my ROM since I am new and this is my first intro into the community.

I am still looking at getting it over here though because it is just so fast..

Something is better than nothing but at the end of the day, ICS source has been out for a month to 6 weeks and we don't even have an alpha ICS MOD. So you just accept what the script kidz we have put out or stay with stock.

Kanged / rezipped / modded stock / themed / or anything else you want to call these roms, they still take someones time to create. For the most part they DO improve on the stock build and are much more streamlined than what you get from your carrier. They remove odex and zipalign them. They debloat them. They add customizations like actual battery guages in the notification menu. They modify the system files to increase data throughput over a stock build. Show some respect ...... its not like they push a magical button and presto, you have a faster than stock rom with customizations. What have you done for the community lately?

FWIW, I'm learning to build from the source personally as we speak. I used to "modify" other roms to my liking too back in the day. That takes time, true source developer or not.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Watcher64:
Samsung has not released ICS kernel source for the t989 so would be about virtually worthless to try and build a ROM, you would end up with the same hacked together stuff , and by looking at the Samsung source releases, they actually have NOT released source for this phone ... So if someone has source it is for the i9100 most likely which is different hardware.
