Yeah this rom is really well implemented for speed and efficiency.. cool battery saver script battery.monitoring mode.. wow bro:thumbup:...tested..love it.. and approved running A okay.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] flipper2006:
nope. Only the standard CWM. It turned out not to be TB, so it's something it doesnt like in the ROM. I didnt use Clockwork after loading it fresh and loaded it from the market and the saame thing happend.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jr_718:
I have tested. Cwm touch as well some Apps will force close. Try using regular cwm.. http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager

Download it for theT-Mobile Samsung galaxy s2.. place in root of sdcard rename to recovery.img

Open terminal emulator type..

Su

dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22

Press enter and type in

reboot recovery see if it works..

This is great. Finally Darkside without bootloops for my device. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thederekjay:
As promised :D

I have also made the rom more compatible with other kernels and apps. For example : if you use system tuner and choose init.d as your boot option, all values will set after a 2 minute delay. I have implemented a delay to ensure that there is no conflict with the values that over write the defaults of the rom. As far as kernels go, you can flash whatever you want.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Chochiwpg:
In 2.5.1 for us Telus users, the 3g icon would popup instead of the 4g icon. Does 2.6 remedy this issue? If so I may give this ROM a try. I know this question has been asked before, but other than doing some theming (which I am not very comfortable with attempting) I don't know of any other way to fix this. Thanks for the hard work TDJ. Peace.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bikrame:
TDJ i must say you are SON OF GOD man. You created awesome monster from darkside this time.

I flash at mid night (from work) . 27% battery gave me more than 2 hour of video playback. And last 5 % lasted for more than half hour wow.

I was waiting till all battery drain out so that i can start fresh battery life and it took me forever man.

I cant waited to say you thanks bro.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] vahdyx:
I see that 2.6 has released but my question is about 2.5.1

Has anyone experienced this issue. Its almost an over charge issue with battery.

Both times this has happened I left my phone plugged in at 100% for a long time. Both needed to be because its my alarm.

Scenario 1: Last night my phone was at 97% at around 8pm. I plugged it in and it was full at 8:30p about. Went to bed and when I woke up the screen was black and wasn't responding to anything. Power button, calls, texts, emails etc. Literally just a black screen and no functions. It was as if it had no battery at all, just perma off. So I decided to pull the battery. Its on and working now. It seems to solve the problem. The reason why I plug it in is because its my alarm clock.

Anyone else experience this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thederekjay:
No. From a code standpoint I can't locate the exact lines that need to be modified. I know the location of the file, but can't pinpoint it. Its hard for me to test when I am not sure and havent the issue to check against. I do suppose a simple solution would be to replace the 3g image with the 4g one. But the thing is that the phone will not display 3g when in 3g area, it would show 4g instead when in both 3g and 4g area?? To be honest this is the EOL for this rom. Ibhace moved onto ICS as my daily driver and new personal project
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Chochiwpg:
No problem man, I understand and appreciate all you have done for this phone and the community. It's just a personal annoyance is all and really doesn't affect how the ROM runs. When ICS officially drops for this phone I will be highly anticipating any ROM you decide to create.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] blkbltwrestler:
I had that happen once when I was on 2.51 but thats it I assumed it was an app crashing rather then the rom messing up.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] matthewdavis:
EasyDownloader

I just did a wipe/flash/titanium restore and noticed EasyDownloader is now installed. Call me lazy if you will, but was that there in the stock 2.6? Did that come in somehow and I didn't notice it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bikrame:
It is in 2.6
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jr_718:
It was added in 2.6.. there's also a pro version on the market for free.. if you don't want it you can uninstall.. for some reason I kinda like Rom toolbox better than TB

This is the best rom for our phones, period!

Happy to see an update! I have flashed countless roms, from GB to ICs and none of them perform as good as this one. I always come back to the Darkside :D

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RogueCoyote:
I have also experienced this black screen a few times while charging. Holding down the power button for a long time would eventually turn the phone completely off and then I would be able to turn it back on. I attributed this problem to the fact that I have been experimenting with various mods via xml and smali changes and creating my own theme. Doubt it's ROM related...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rod3:
Whether a theme works or not is a question for the theme creator, not the ROM developer.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thederekjay:
Yes holding down the power button for 10+ seconds will power down the device. U never need to pull the battery...

XIIA Live (Music Streaming)

Can anyone (if you dont already use XIIA Live) can someone download lite from the market and try to play any station and see if you get FC. There is something in the rom that is causing to to crash. never happend before.

Great rom TDJ. But I can never get a other kernel working good battery life wise with the old and new rom. I have Faux latest mainline kernel UV -75 annd running at 1.35/384 and the battery is just draining while screen is off and nothing running in the background, no auto sync. I dropped 30% in 2 hours while screen off the whole time.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Towle:
Like you said, some people did flash it over 2.5, but it's not recommended. Those people said it worked, but if you do it and have issues with absolutely anything, go back and do a clean install before reporting your issues.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] anobi98:
I'm newb to android. Are there any themes for this? I went to themes & Apps forum and i only saw about 2 threads , is that it?

I still don't understand why themes are rom specific that makes it almost impossible to find a theme because there thousands of phones , each having hundreds of roms? Why:(

Sorry I am still kinda confused about this, I may be wrong, but oh well:(

The rom is fantastic. The best I have used so far. Thanks for this.

Well... I figured out my "battery issue".. Now that I think about it, it did start back when I first used the ICS theme. I flashed 2.6 yesterday, and have been getting amazing battery life again. I just did a nandroid (battery was at 60%), then flashed the ICS theme again. Rebooted and seen my battery was at 42%... Very weird.. I went back into recovery and restored my nandroid, but the battery is still at 42%.. If my battery starts draining crazy fast again, I'll just have to do another clean install of 2.6 with NO theme. Anyone know why flashing a theme would cause this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bxrdj:

Anyone have have a changelog since its not updated yet? I know bootloops are fixed even en though I don't have that issue. Also the ability to install other kernels.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] chrischoi:
I would say that since it's TDJ's rom and kernel, he built them around each other. You could try a different kernel and report back how it works. I'm sure he has enough on his plate and hasn't tested all the other kernels. :)

Great work! It feels smoother all around.

Just sharing some info and experience i've had with both 2.5.1 and 2.6 and root call blocker and ROM toolbox. They were causing my dialer to fc, wifi calling to not work (would dial a #, dialer would open, then close...also text would not come in and stay stuck on sending), or cause the phone to error out saying invalid Sim card.

On 2.5.1 shortly after installing them I started having problems. I flashed back to unrooted stock which worked, then rooted stock which worked, then a fresh install of 2.5.1 without ROM toolbox or root call blocker. Installed 2.6 yesterday, ran fine, then installed ROM toolbox and root call blocker this afternoon. Within 10 mins dialer started fc, got invalid Sim card when wifi calling was trying to connect, and contacts would freeze when trying to swipe to call. I uninstalled those two apps and everything is back to normal again.

I've double and triple checked the settings in the apps, even re-downloaded from market. No go.

My experience may be isolated, but thought I'd share.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] InspiresMe:
odd^. Maybe its those apps? Try to reboot after the installs a couple times. Might work.

2.6 is a lot snappier. Noticed however adw ex isn't as smooth with transitions as with 2.5. At least when swiping through the home screens. I don't think it was like this before.

Overall this is a sick rom. It'd be nice to see music controls on the lockscreen;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] chrischoi:
Somehow 2.6 made SwiftKey a lot more responsive. I was using the Beta. Before there was a pause when forming words.

Question

I know this is a noob question but it worked with other roms and I use my cell as a daily driver so cant risk it for too long. Could I update without wiping from 2.5.1 to 2.6? Anything special I need to do? With other roms I would simply put them in my sd and using cwm flash newer version which worked fine.

With this rom dev recommends full wipe, install update with tags, restore backups of all your apps.

Is there a faster/easier way to update from 2.5.1 to 2.6?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Dougshell:
It takes five minutes to update without losing anything even with super wrote just make sure you bank up with titanium
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ahmedfusmani:
So best way to do it would be back up all user apps with titanium.I dont do system apps just in case dev decided to take some out due to fc etc.. is it a good practice? or does it not matter?

.. wipe flash etc. boot up.. wait a couple minutes before you touch anything... skip sign in.. restart.. sign in.. restore backup.

Correct?

Again.. Embarrassed I gotta ask these questions.. This is how I have been doing it and I was wondering if there was a better way. Thanks so much for your help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Towle:
Yup that's right, and choose app only when restoring from Titanium.

Anyone having problems with the phone not sleeping with wifi on? I'm loving this ROM, but the battery could last so much longer if it would just sleep better...

Today at work, wifi/data off, the phone got great battery life, but as soon as i get home and turn on wifi, the battery starts draining a lot. Here's a screenshot of my day, i know the battery isn't dead yet, but it gives an idea of what I'm taking about.

mpdecision

TDJ,

With the new kernel did you disable the mpdecision process? Only reason I ask is that when my phone would fail to go to deep sleep on Rom 2.5.1 and priior, I would go into terminal and kill mpdecision and deep sleep would come back. Now, with 2.6 when I go into terminal, I get an error of "not a pid or valid job spec" when I issue the "kill mpdecision" command. And, I do not see the process running in system turner pro. I just want to make sure that mpdecision was disabled by you so I don't need to re-wipe/flash phone again if mpdecision is suppose to be a working process.

Thanks.

I had this happen in the past. I think I solved it by going to recovery, wiping cache, and dalvik cahce. Reboot and let it sit for a bit after rebooting to rebuild your dalvik cache. You could also fix permission after rebuilding your caches.
