Oh, the CIQ crap, I miss read that as CFQ originally and thought he was referring to the SD card data through put scheduler, my mistake.

Big difference in a mistake in reading and not understanding a subject, may want to watch word choice there. Sorry for the confusion

I thought everyone knew of the carrier IQ removal app on market (it terminates the process after detecting either manual run for free or pay for auto removal on boot version). So if ROM has it you can still stop it.

For those interested found good article explaining CIQ options for detecting and removal with good reference links (looks like don't have time to read every word and follow every link I just stick to ROMs with it removed or use market app myself)

http://www.lifehacker.com.au/2011/12/how-to-remove-the-carrier-iq-rootkit/

Or download a patch for any ROM that removed it then dissect how they went about it if you prefer I found 2 patches for removing CIQ via simple Google search

See what happens when someone is constructive?

CFQ = Completely Fair Queuing = I/O Scheduler

CIQ = Carrier IQ = "We steal your info"
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RealPariah:
Yes yes I know what they are I miss read original post, my bad. CIQ is a paid for root kit carriers use to "provide better service" aka spy on the user base and be able to provide logs of specific devices and their use if say a warrant is issued by law enforcement (or they feel like it) and if it transmits personal info like text message contents to carrier before a legal warrant is issued it is technically in violation of wire tap laws though with things like the patriot act still in the books I doubt the powers that be will stop it from being used. Oh and yes it is found in iPhones and pretty much any phone a large carrier has just thanks to open source Android is how a developer found the code though.

Thanks for explaining acronyms for non techies though! :)

You could get slick do an install copy the tw apks you want from /system/app and then do a -notw and them copy back the launcher and other stuff you want to use. I have not done this myself, but would be a possibility I would try. Be sure to run titanium and nandroid (titanium to maintain apps and nandroid just in case it takes a crap for some odd reason)

If really needed I always copy apks I remove to SD so I could upload if all else fails.

Quick question. If I use the conservative governor, will I be gettimg the full benefits from the kernel? Conservative governor is the only way I can get good battery life, and it also seems a bit snappier UI-wise to me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] casperi:
Vs which other gov? Everyones experience is going to be different. Like same mine. If I use performance then I get around 12 hours but the trade off is gaming is butter smooth. On-demand gets me 15-17 which the GUI is smooth enough. Consertiv gets me anywhere from 20 to 30 but GUI lags so sometimes I change over to performance to play a game and that eats up battery. Etc. I dont think theres one setting for all unless all you do is read then u could get a way using it.

I use system tuner to adjust the Cpu settings.

OK , so if he wants to remove the notification without adding extra apps / junk to his device, just use any root explorer and rename or delete both wssync apk's under /system/app.

It removes OTA all together and isn't used for any other reason as far as I can tell. OTA does no good for those of us here on XDA as we run custom roms for a reason. ; )

I was posting an alternate solution...... watch the sarcasm. Personally I hate TiBackup. Others might also.

Yes .... use Ti if you like / use it. My way works and takes a whopping 10 seconds using a file explorer. No extra apps need to be installed...... if you like Ti, good for you.

I reinstall from market on each flash to ensure I get no issues from restoring files. I've never had an issue...... and I never will. I don't use battery apps, task killers, or anything of the sort. I've already posted screenshots of 5+ hours of screen on time using the Os as intended.

Whoa, no sarcasm intended. I wasn't sure personally if yours would work, and knew the tibu system was tried and true.

And are you referring to the hole slightly to the right of the camera lens when I open up the back of the phone?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] SupaKid:

The Thread Natives mean the Qualcomm sticker, atop the the phone, located near the headset jack. There is a little hole there--a microphone. Take the Q-Comm sticker, and cover that microphone.

Black screen

Ok I'm generally one that can figure something out on my own and fix it when it comes to ROMS and bugs that are caused by apps and whatnot - however I'm stumped on this one. Its a known fact that DW2.7 is the best rom for battery conservation - so I'm really trying to stick with it. However, after searching the threads for the 'black screen unresponsive' issue I get when hitting my power button to turn the display on and use the phone - I am finding no results.

I have tried all the traditional superwipes, dalviks, format system, etc, etc - I'm stuck. I see that other people are having this issue. Is it Kernel related? I don't think so. I've tried multiple kernels and get the same results. What gives? TDJ you have any input or suggestions, or any other reliable member (Excluding trolls with one word responses)

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] GreggoryD502:
Im not sure what causes this issue. I got the SOD when I upgraded to 2.6. The only solution that worked for me was to stay on DW 2.5.1. I had zero issues with that one. I think some tweaks TDJ made on 2.6, and 2.7 didnt work with everyones phone. Go back to 2.5.1 and see if you have the issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] IGKID:
Same here, it sometimes comes but I can never understand why. Maybe it's because I use Setcpu, do you? A

-Also is anybody experiencing any GPS issues ? I found a great fix ^_^
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] wyldkard:
I read somewhere the SOD issue is caused by the kernel. I believe he introduced his v2 kernel in 2.7

Try flashing a different kernel and see what results you get. I had the same issue and switched rom so never tried a diff kernel.

Also use the kernel cleanser.zip
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RealPariah:
This is usually caused by a problem with kernel deep sleep code not allowing CPU to wake when needed. I will say in darkside ROMs there is a lot of customization built in reliant on using the darkside kernel being used that can break if you change kernels and if you do be sure to flash kernel cleanser script before flashing new kernel. I suggest you try darkside kernel for a bit instead of siyah and see if same thing happens and of course always clear cache and dalvick cache after a new kernel flash. You could use darkside super cache wipe to do that and fix perms all at once or my fix perms v2 only fixes perms if you rather do it more manually with format cache menu options in recovery and want to fix perms only after (you prolly do that just for others reading with similar issue).

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RealPariah:
Actually TDJs newest ICS had solved the problems that existed in his v2 per performance and battery life. I kept jumping until 3v3 release and once you apply supercharger v6 tweaks (including nitro lag nullify) (THE BEST PERFORMANCE TWEAKS SCRIPT PACK PERIOD FOR ANY ANDROID VERSION (in my opinion of course) and installing chainfire 3d graphics drivers my T989 has same if not better performance than it did in gingerbread. He really nailed screen off power savings (TDJ) and screen on ain't bad but screen off I do roughly 3% battery use in 4 hours now. Them again it does take a couple days for everything to settle in and show best performance (a usual) so not surprised if you install use it for an hour and wonder why we even use ICS.

no matter what i try, ICS makes my phone ****.

could not get root / superuser /supersu working in TDJ's ICS roms since 3v3.. also got sick of launcher having to rebuild homescreens/app drawer every time i'd come back to it after a while. and apps took longer to load. and keyboards are laggy. and apps FC way more often. and unknown calls from contacts, calls where nothing could be heard on either end, and tons of missed calls... not blaming anyone but myself, but i lost about $1000 in income due to lost calls/down time since i switched to ICS on 6/12/12. i just don't think ics was meant for my phone. hope others have better luck.

thank god for warfare
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RealPariah:
Did you flash recovery pack just installing second super user will conflict (also have to open and update binary in app after flash) original super user seg faults causing issues in ALL ICS ROMs. if you use supercharger v6 with patched services.jar (newest beta or starter pack now auto downloads :) ) it will bulletproof launcher for you (makes launcher unkillable by system and no more reloads :) also I don't like twlauncher as it lacks soo much, I swear by ADW Ex (search ADW launcher for free version to try. Ex adds way more options and customization though) or hear good things bout go launcher in ICS as well.

Last post here out of respect, but come on most stock apps suck compared to 3Rd party offerings (usually) and if you have not tried supercharger v6 (works on EVERY Android version and 99% of ROMs (can never really say 100%) then I HIGHLY suggest you try it!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] frescoraja:
I did update binaries from supersu after switching from superuser, and I tried three different binary versions as well as busybox. Still had issues with gaining root permissions from apps like root explorer, es explorer, titanium backup, and Rom toolbox. I never got my phone stabilized (missing calls, apps force closing, generally poor performance) so I did not bother setting up v6 super charger script.

I ended up compiling my own kernel based off the stock config file and using it which ended up solving all of the root problems but killed haptic feedback and caused more sods.

I will be checking in on the ics forums but have had such a negative experience with it on this phone I just don't see myself switching .. not when there's a Rom as stable, reliable, and fast as warfare.

Don't get me wrong, DDW 2.7 is definately the best gingerbread rom for our phones, and I still struggle with what the true ICS day-to-day benefits are...lol. Maybe now that Evo3 is finally stable, usage will show me what these benefits truly are.... besides the obvious feature changes.
