Do what you will.. but the issue is not with the rom. The issue is something to do with market. I would have uninstalled market updates and rebooted... but that's just me

loving your rom i got to update soon. i sent you a private message to see if anything new is coming down the pipeline there is a lot of different stuff in the skyrocket roms i wanted to know if you knew about that stuff or had anyplans t add any of it.

but awesome work now if i can some how take this rom and theme it like coca cola that would be wonderful i love black and red lol

again nice work rom and kernal seem to be very nicely done

How do I uninstall updates?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mstrk242:
For those of you with market issues, I'd suggest going into clockwork and formatting you cache partition. I've noticed on these builds, especially if you use the super-wipe, sometimes the cache partition seems to get corrupted. (You'll know too because inside clockworkmod you'll be gettting cache errors, which also seems to break the market.)

Happened to me a few times, formatted cache, boot back up and no problems.

On a side note, I'm loving this rom so far. Battery life is really excellent. Thanks for the work TDJ!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thederekjay:
Well maybe I spoke too soon.. doesn't seem market had released an update. My bad on that. But another thing I would do is clear market data and and then boot recovery wipe cache and dalvik. See if that helps. I haven't expirenced this issue yet so hard to tell what the root of it is.

It looks like I'm getting some weird drain or something... any ideas?

Edit: this is my third time flashing this rom. I didn't like the theme. Did a flash of notw this time around
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mstrk242:
Touch. That's interesting, I never considered it might have something to do with the version of cwm.

It happens with this -wipe option on here, as well as if I use your super-wipe script before flashing another rom. I usually just after install and before reboot format cache, problem solved.

If you like, when I get some free time, I'll install the non-touch cwm and see if I have the same issue.

Ya Im sorry I actually paid for the touch. On my EVO, when I formatted the SD card there was an option to extend the partition? 2>3? forgot, but I noticed I did not see that when partitioning the GS2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mstrk242:
You can still use it. Just boot into it, and choose the wipe cache option on the first page. Then reboot, and you can now use the market.

And I can confirm, TDJ, that this issue doesn't appear to happen on the non-touch version of cwm.

I was having the same issue, i removed all the market related preferences in titanium backup, which did the trick. Im not sure why, maybe tb was trying to reference system settings from a previous rom, i dont really know enough about it to hazard any real educated guess...

*ive got the same set up, i used super wipe & ive got cwm touch...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jordanishere:
There should be a sticky about how many problems titanium backup causes when changing roms. it causes more problems than it solves.

I have tb pro and its a great program, but i never use it to bring data from the old rom into the new rom. this causes the most problems for people.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mstrk242:
If you don't use it properly, it can definitely cause issues. (And sometimes even if you do use it correctly :))

I didn't use titanium backup in my tests, so I know that wasn't the issue for me. I noticed this problem a while back, but it was so minor and the fix was so easy I just never reported it in, until I saw others having the same issue. I figured I'd just give them a way to fix it. (I also tried with and without the notw flag, just to make sure that didn't have anything to do with it. Although looking at the install-script tdj wrote, I was already pretty sure there was no function in the notw part that could cause this. Still, I figured better to be thorough.)

The touch recovery may be a bit on the buggy side, but I like it anyways. I hated using the buttons, especially with the case I have on my phone which can make the buttons a bit harder to press at times.

Meh, 100% disagree with you. It works great for many people just fine. In fact I always restore apps+data without issue. The only problems I even hear of are people trying to restore system data...which if one does just a tiny tiny bit of research, they are presented that information.

Hi guys,

I've flashed this on several phones and it seems awesome so far.

A couple of questions:

1) On a couple of the phones, the lock screens have email notification to swipe. The others don't, even though there's new emails. I've searched and I can't find it - can someone please tell me where/how to edit the lockscreen settings/add widgets, etc?

2) I'm trying to import internet favorites (bookmarks) into the browser, and I'm not having much luck. I posted in the general Q & A, and someone said the bookmarks are located at :

/data/data/com.android.browser/shared_prefs/BrowserBookmarksPage.xml

I do not have that on either internal SD or external SD. Has the location been modified by the ROM? I searched *.xml on both SD's and nothing came up.

I need to import my bookmarks from either Opera or IE - any assistance would be appreciated.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jordanishere:
Agree that restoring system data causes the majority of problems with tb.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] noellenchris:
Me too, it may be that they only show up if using the samsung built in email app and not for the google gmail app.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mavblues:
I don't think that's the reason - they're all using the same email setup.

Edit: Now that I'm looking closely at their phones, I think it's text message notifications instead of emails so appears to be working OK.

Still looking for any ideas on how to import bookmarks from IE or Opera into the Android browser.

TIA

You're not alone. Rebooting, toggling touch lights on and off and toggling auto brightness does nothing. They just work and stop working at random I have found. Wonder if TDJ has experienced this issue at all...Fresh flash with the -wipe flag.

I was hoping that would do it, but nothing. Even if I put on always on they do not light up.

Until TDJ fixes these issues why don't you guys just flash 2.1 then 2.2 over that with only wiping cache/dalvik? It seems like only the people who did a clean install are having issues.

Yep not using the touch one...as I came from the G2 and had 4ext touch (I know what you mean about it being far superior).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] raycaster3:
Seriously I'm guessing the touch recovery is the culprit for a few different issues (market, touch key) I thought my phone was on the outs because stuff would get so corrupted I couldn't reboot without a full wipe. Went back to reg recovery and all is well now.

Battery drained 28% in six hours overnight while I was sleeping. CPU Spy shows that it was at 384 mhz during those six hours, as opposed to being in deep sleep. Im pretty sure this isnt normal...is BLN the issue here? Or am I missing something?

I don't know.. only you can really answer that. Every phone is different. My phone dropped no more than 10% while I was sleeping. Was about 7 hours or so.. so you might have to figure what is preventing from sleeping?

I find that when my phone fails to go into deep sleep that I have to kill the kernel process mpdecision then it starts to act normal again and will go into deep sleep. I kill it using system tuner pro. I think you can kill it via terminal by first typing su then kill mpdecision.

Thank you TDJ for the best ROM I have ever flashed!!! I went out of town this past weekend and left both my charger and spare battery at home and this ROM saved my ass!!!

I got 2 days, 2 hours on one charge with 3h 53m of display on time. i used to get about 14-16 hours on one charge with the same amount of usage.

This was running 2.1 with nothing like setcpu or system tuner installed. The only thing I did was turn off all data while I was sleeping at night(wifi, phone data, GPS).

Edit: The almost vertical drop at the end of the battery life was after I got home to my charger and was just trying to kill the battery. I threw everything I could at it and just did not want to die.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] vplaza96:
I flashed to the Darkside yesterday and like the ROM. However, I didn't seem to get the same amount of battery life that many here seem to be getting from the ROM.

Yesterday, it seemed that my device would never go to deep sleep. The battery usage showed that it was Awake the entire time. This morning, I unplugged it from power at 6am after a full night's charge. By the time I got to work at 8am, it was down to 90%.

So, thinking that it had to be an app that I installed, I decided to re-flash, using the -wipe option again to sort of start from scratch. After that flash, I left the phone alone for a bit and saw that it was now properly going to deep sleep and was no longer Awake all the time.

I reinstalled the apps one by one to make sure that none of them would keep the phone from going to deep sleep and keep it Awake all the time.

In a nutshell, I don't think I was using the phone heavily all day and it's now 2:15pm and the battery is down to 15%.

I'm not quite sure what I've done wrong, but it must be one of the apps that is draining the battery so rapidly. I use Enhanced Email with Push to Exchange, which may be one of the big drains, but I'm sure others out there use their devices with Exchange and don't have the same drain.

I'm noticing that my music volume goes down for notifications but doesn't go back up until I get another. Makes me sad
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thederekjay:
I am not sure what the issue is.. but sounds like there is one???

Things i can suggest to extend battery are as follows:

1. When you dont need 4g, switch to GSM only. This alone will save your battery tremendously. Me personally, when not browsing the web or watching youtube or not using my phone while working or something, I put it to GSM only mode and that alone gives me a lot of extra battery life. There really is no need to keep it in 4g to waste battery if its not needed. Also if u didnt know you can long press the toogles in the notifications menu and that will take you to the appropriate settings. So long press Data toggle and it take right to the "network mode" then select GSM only.

2. Use wifi when available.

3. Keep CPU clocked at a reasonable freq. I suggest just letting the rom/kernel do the work. I have fine tuned about as much as i could..

hope that helps a little. maybe others have tips to help...

just took these from today...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] vplaza96:
Thanks for the quick response, TDJ! I will give the GSM a try. For some reason, I thought that using WiFi was more of a battery hog than 4G. I saw somewhere that someone used Llama to set up profiles to turn off data when on WiFi. I wonder, though, if Llama would increase power draw.

I haven't changed clock settings, but could try that as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thederekjay:
i am not familiar with llama... I would suggest i you havent touch CPU settings to leave them, they r already optimized.

Do what you do.. IMO there is not reason to have 4g eating battery if I am not even using it... let me know
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] SupaKid:
I have a quick question:

A Data Connection is required for MMS, right?

Is there a way to send MMS messages, even when the Data Connection is off (and without WiFi)? For example, 4G is off, and you're using the 2G/EDGE Connection. Your phone would only go 4G, when sending and receiving MMS messages.

This option is present in MIUI ROMs, so I wondered if it could be done in another way...

Thanks for any insight on this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thederekjay:
Yeah I am aware of that feature with MIUI... but i havent a clue to how???
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] vplaza96:
I had installed it and the concept was very cool. You could create events and appropriate actions for events, such as "When connected to Wi-Fi", do an action such as "Disable data connection". Then, have another event "When disconnected from Wi-Fi", do an action like "Enable data connection".

It also had the ability to "learn" the areas that you would normally be in, such as work or home. I believe it identifies the cell towers that you would normally connect to while in those areas. Then, you can set things such as "When at work", use a profile such as "Quiet", and the profile defines how you want the phone to be set up for.

Again, cool concept, but I was concerned that having it on may have been why my phone never went to deep sleep and was always Awake according to the battery statistics.

Edit: Duh, I saw it in the Battery Life Thread. I may try it again to see if it was the culprit in keeping the device awak the whole time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PorchSong:

Hey, TDJ I love this ROM, but could you include a different camera app. The stock one is so nasty. I like how you can have the option to have TW or not. In my opinion I love TW I don't understand why everybody hates it. Its so much faster than Sense or any other UI.
