Great ROM TDJ... keep up the good work!

I have a request.... back when I had my MT3G with CM loaded, it used to show the currently set Alarm time on the lock screen right below the clock. It was pretty handy without having to open the Alarm Clock app for it. Ever since, I haven't see that feature on any ROM's for SGSII except for the Alarm Clock icon on the status bar....

So is it possible to get the Alarm time to show on the lock screen?

TIA... cheers

Really great job on this ROM, I'm loving it.

Is there any chance you could add in the color-changing AOSP connection icons? They change from white to colored when Android is able to confirm you have full Internet access (sorta like that yellow exclamation mark in Windows when you don't). It's really handy for being able to tell when you have to open the browser to login on a public access point. That's the only feature I can think of that I miss from Juggernaut.

Also, would you consider enabling Android to connect to ad-hoc WiFi networks? (Skyrocket Alien ROM has this working with a modified wpa_supplicant)

The KID baseband (from 2.3.5) is currently giving me the best results in terms of consistent 4G data connectivity. KL1 (2.3.6) started "hanging" on 4G (stuck with a green uploading arrow) for some reason a couple weeks ago in my particular area/on my particular phone, and I noticed a big improvement when I switched from KL1 to KID after flashing Warfare v2.5.1. (WiFi calling works using either KID or KL1.)

Loving this ROM!! Extremely fast, smooth, battery efficient (less than 1% per hour battery drop while idle). Thanks TDJ! Only minor quirk I've had is that after flashing both 2.4 and 2.5/2.5.1, in order to get Visual Voicemail working, I've had to contact T-Mobile and they've had to remove and then re-add that feature at their end to get it working again. Not sure if it's a T-Mobile issue or what. Didn't help any at my end to uninstall/re-install the app, etc.

Not an attack. Just strange that you have this so called issue on multiple devices. I am not even 100% sure what the real issue is? Nonetheless I ran antutu bench a few minutes ago and then went over to the skyrocket board and compared my 2d/3d result with the screens shots posted over there and they are all generally the same, between 1-3 points. So I don't follow your statement ?

First off please don't say nobody helps, I put a lot of personal time into helping people. This thread moves rather quickly and sometimes I miss things.

Secondly, if you provide more info in your first post you might have received more help. What kind of charger? How long have you been experiencing this? And whatever other helpful info you could provide..

Thirdly, I don't have an mhl adapter. I can't comment on your HDMI issue, but has been reported several times to be working. Maybe someone else can confirm ..

My battery Screenshots ( 1day + )

For all the skeptical for TDJ's ROM v2.5.1. I have posted my screen shot for awesome battery. I am more than please by the outcome and every Device is different ( I am aware of that ).

If I am getting more than 1day with this ROM, I am much more than Happy.

I was having a lot of Infinite bootloops till version 2.4, just like so many other members ( eg: ZOTH ).

Below are the steps that I performed to get the best results.

1. Formatted my SD card and On baord memory ( phone memory ).

2. Ran the WIPE Script (.zip file ) from TDJ.

3. Then ran the Kernel remove Script ( .zip file ) from M&S ( Don't ask me why I ran this script, but I just did )

4. Then manually Wiped out the Cache and Devik and Battery Stats.

5. Then installed the ROM with "-wipe-twmod-notw" flags.

6. Restarted the phone and it went into bootloop for 3-4 times. Then I decided to take our the battery and wait for 20 mins.

7. Then I restarted again and BOOM, my ROM is flying and NO BOOTLOOP again. I consider myself lucky or just some experimental thing. But that process worked for me like anything.

Since then I have restarted my phone so many times and NO PROBLEM at all.

I have also attached the screenshot for my battery life.

Sometime you just have to give atleast 12+ hours to get the Kernel and ROM settle down.

In my Sleep state my battery drain was 5mA ( .4%/hour ). that was insane and I am loving it :)

To get this score, fps I'm the test stayed consistently over 45fps. Average was about 46 i think. This is on a skyrocket rom and i get the same results on the cm7 beta.

On t989 i get about 439 to 480 on the same test and fps never goes over 30. I consider the test valid because i get the same performance difference when i use go launcher. Games work fine hence the antutu you posted shows no difference.

First off I apologize if you directly took that personally, also i'm using my official charger, but it does it with several others so I don't think its the charger, somehow hdmi works now so excuse that issue. I first noticed the mediascanner problem after flashing juggs ROM, and I came back to this but the problem still persist, if anyone has any suggestions or can help I'd appreciate it, if not I'll live and excuse the previous remark, thank you
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DigitalJedi:
Old post, but I just saw this. I am on day 3 or 4 with his ROM. It is really solid and there is no lag at all, ever. The beats audio really does make a nice difference in sound quality. I was getting HORRIBLE battery life so I switched to the synergy kernel and that made a pretty big difference. I'm still getting about 5% drain per hour at idle which bothers me. BLN isn't working for me regardless of kernel. It is really solid, but I'm away from a charger too much to be able to deal with this drain. I've even tweaked some of his init scripts and I'm still having too much drain. I think I will give it 1 more day on that ROM to see if it settles down and if not then I'll come back to the Darkside. I just hate to give up the beats audio/dsp manager.

EDIT: Actually I didn't tweak his init scripts. When I flashed Synergy it replaced init.gcom.post_boot.sh script with it's own and I've messed with the voltage there hoping to get better battery.

Later EDIT: Well my phone must seen me make the above post. My battery has seemed to stabilize. I guess I'm just too impatient.

He isn't comparing different OS's. He is comparing skyrocket to T-Mobile.

TDJ (or anyone else),

I'm getting a weird toast message when I connect or disconnect my bluetooth device. The device still works, but I have never seen this "toast" message before. And, I get it everytime I connect or disconnect (I've tried clearing cache, dalvik cache, fix permissions, etc.). Also, there is no way I am even close to tapping resources. Furthermore, I am not sure what "service" or "app" it is notifying me about. Will someone else try to recreate, please? Again, I am not losing functionality of my Bluetooth headset, just wondering what the message is all about. And I only get it when activating or deactivating the pairing (not turning on bluetooth).

Thanks.

I'm sorry TDJ. Screenshot didn't upload properly earlier. Here is the score I get on Skyrocket ROMs: 696 in 2D. This is more or less consistent. Range is 650-750 usually

On CM7 is usually get a bit higher than this: Usually 780-800 on CM7.

On T989: 350-480 if I'm lucky. That goes for just about all ROMs. Nothing breaks over 500. Why am I posting in your topic so much? Because I figure if you respond so much to users and genuinely do so much stuff in every update, you may take a look at the discrepancies.

If other people also want to experiment to see if the KID baseband works better for them than KL1, there's a CWM flashable version here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22557244&postcount=172

Simpler than using Odin.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PorchSong:
Agreed.

Might be simpler, but much larger chance of bricking from flashing via recovery verses Odin. And by much larger, I mean not very likely, but still greater than an Odin flash. And with Odin, if things do happen to get upside down, you can recover easier while still in Odin. And, let's face it, Odin is pretty simple.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] nandixon:
Hmm, we'll have to agree to disagree on this one. :) I think CWM is safer (I always enter CWM	through ROM Manager). I've flashed radios many times via that route (wipe cache, wipe Dalvik, flash radio, wipe Dalvik again). Plus, you need access to a computer for Odin.

---------- Post added at 07:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:08 PM ----------

@ TDJ , I seen a few post back, that you keep your mobile network on 2g for better battery. I tried it and it does give great battery life. But I did notice one thing. When you long press the data toggle to go to the mobile network settings and switch to 2g, that works fine, but after making or recieving a call, when you hang up it goes back to the mobile network settings instead of the phone app. I tried to go back to 4g and see if it happens on 4g and same thing happens after a phone call, it goes back to mobile network settings instead of the phone app. Only way to keep it from doing it is to reeboot then the phone works fine until you switch back to 2g then acts up again. Other than that the ROM is a beast! You rock dude!

PS... I did a clean install -wipe-notw-nobatt-volwake.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] frescoraja:
I also made a mod that only makes your signal icons green when connected to Google without the extra themed icons and translucent pulldown notification ..

link to thread

There you go. There's a version with the battery full notification and one without it. If you already flashed a mod from my other thread, then you will need both the framework-res.apk and lidroid-res.apk from the stock 2.5.1 ROM and push those to /system/framework, or you might get some weird looking stuff come out!

... OR just flash this zip here to get your stock framework-res.apk and lidroid-res.apk back.

I flashed with the flags "-wipe-notw-twmod-nobatt" yet I still get the 100% battery notification. Is there a way to fix this other than reflashing the ROM from scratch?

A possible solution I came up with was to just flash the ROM again without wipe, with the idea that I would be able to just add the nobatt mod. Would this work?

edit:

I figured out what I did wrong - I flashed a blue icon warfare mod from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23598157&postcount=89. Woops lol. If I flashed the .zip that has no battery notification would it remove it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] frescoraja:
if you want the systemui.apk withOUT the full battery notification..

FLASH THIS - it's just the stock SystemUI.apk that would be installed with the ROM if you included the nobatt flag.
