Bootloop with FauxClock

Just an FYI warning in case anyone else runs into this problem. I get a bootloop if I use FauxClock to overclock to 1.512 GHz. and check "Set at Boot". I had to go into recovery and reflash Darkside 2.5.1 to stop the bootloop. When I used FauxClock to overclock to 1.512 GHz. but leave the "Set at Boot" unchecked, then everything is fine. Maybe the "Set at Boot" option conflicts with the ROM's scripts that run at start up?

Wifi Texting

Hey guys,

I am having error messages sending regular text messages over wifi. It just wont send out, so I am required to turn Wifi off and run Data only. Using the latest darkside ROM. Any suggestions you might have for fixing this issue?

When updating I ran with full wipe. (-wipe flagged at the end).

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] frescoraja:
yeah from now on, any theme for darkside digital warfare will pretty much have to have two versions- one for those with the notification , and one for those without it. unless they somehow themed it without touching the systemui.apk

.. so if it's just a battery mod, it shouldn't hurt the notification to flash because that can be done from just the framework-res.apk.

Unable to download files in browsers

Greetings,

I'm one of the peeps who was asking for the nobat and finally got around to downloading 2.5.1 and all was going great until I attempted to DL something in the browser. Tried opera as well. When I download it starts and then in the notification tray says failed.

Originally used -wipe-twmod-nobatt

Here is what I have done to no resolution:

Fixed permissions, formatted internal/external sd, installed from internal/external sd. MD5 passed.

Currently doing, re-downloaded, going to try only -wipe with no other flags. In recovery the flags are being recognized as the loader script does indicate the actions are taking place.

If no go will drop back to 2.4 but if anyone has seen this issue please reply.

Thanks in advance

I'm highly confused, I fresh installed 2.4, same issue.

Tried firefox, downloaded fine.

UPDATE: I was on 2.3 and all released versions previously and no issues. Went over to another s2 I loaded 2.4 on and it has the same issue so it appears the problem started in 2.4 and carried into 2.5. FYI. Firefox is fine but its not just stock browser as Opera has same issue.

Hey TDJ, great work on the rom, it's snappy and seems to run next to perfect with Faux's new kernel...the only issue I seem to be running into is that I don't get a boot animation for the rom? I get one for the kernel (the Galaxy S with a loading bar) and I used to get the white Android bugbot, but after the initial boot it disappears. Also seem to have an issue with disabling the lockscreen (I use MiLocker) maybe an option inside of settings would be nice? Just my two cents. Again guys, thanks for all the hard work! :D

Looking into runaway android system taking all battery again. Had this on the stock ROM, it was caused by Google backup which its not the case this time (it was already disabled and frozen). I'm using better battery stats to track, ill come back with more info.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] zkid2010:
Same here. Incredible drain while so many others talk about days of off-charger time. I don't get it and am also trying to diagnose wtf is going on.

Edit: just for base info - this is a 2.5.1 flash, -wipe-notw-nobatt, *nothing* installed from market because there's not even a Google account setup. The current drain is between 5-10% per hour with absolutely no use (no calls, no sms, no wifi - just sleep).

ROM/Kernel are built around eachother, if you flash another kernel you WILL loose

all funtionality from my scripts and tweaks. If that doesn't jive with you, there are

other ROM options on the board.

Thats straight from the change log... His kernel doesnt support bootanimations. My kernel is needed for the rom to run properly. All support is null and void.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] autom8r:
Do you also find that sometimes the battery drain is EXCELLENT? Such as .5% an hour? Then, after some event, battery drain shoots up to like you said, 10% an hour or more? This is what I'm finding.

I have an indication right now what this is, but I need to re-create the "fast drain" condition, to get some solid data. Right now, my phone is draining as expected, around 1% an hour.

I'll get to the bottom of this, disabling Google Backup is a good place to start. I can confirm this was draining battery by keeping the device awake. This was confirmed with my T989D on two ROMs with FULL wipes in between.

So it seems that nothing actually wiped (I didn't do any prior wipe because the ROM was supposed to do it). Which, if it keeps working as it should, I'm perfectly happy with. Since all my apps, settings, layout, etc... all there. I guess we'll see what happens... lol.

Actually no..... the flags don't always work properly in a subfolder. The scripts work off of root as TDJ can't possibly begin to guess all of the possible folder names you all would use. He would have to write his script to point to /whatever-you-call-your-folder/rom-flags.zip

If you read his OP in his entirety, its not a suggestion ..... its instruction to use the root folder.

If you don't plan on using any flags, by all means, put it into a sub folder. It will still flash :-)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thederekjay:
To be honest the script has been updated and should work within sub folders. I still will always suggest root of SD card for flashing anything. Just my opinion, reduces issues...

But there are random times the battery will drop 10% in an hour, then only 1%/hr for the next couple hours, all while doing the exact same things (obviously I know if you play a game for an hour it will drop faster that hour lol) not sure if anyone else has noticed this.

I appreciate the little defenders that jump in to defend the cook but when the op has this:

Known Issues:

You tell me...

Bank on people telling you. I mean, battery performance on any rom on any device is *always* YMMV, but tbh, the most whining and moaning I've heard in this thread have been from those saying basically, 'shut up the battery performance is best in the world!'. This simply isn't the case and so it comes down to do you want feedback on the rom or just feedback that doesn't make any mention of peoples battery performance?

I get better battery off the stock rom than this thing, so whatever.

true, but honestly its fair to assume that most people that are having poor battery life aren't reporting so after a couple days of use.....so I guys we could all learn a thing our two from the quoted post.

My battery is also pretty poor on 2.5.1, upgrading from 2.3 (or 2.2a - I forget). Battery just drained, for example, 10% in the one hour that I took a nap. I have much less apps on my phone as I did in the previous version, and the apps that I do have are XDA, Reddit is fun, engadget, go locker and go launcher, etc. No games or apps that sync...not even Facebook.
