Hey thank you so much for this rom. It's pretty awesome. Forgive my ignorance, but I've used mostly juggs on this phone and recently left due to consistent resets. Does this rom have any built in underclocking? Is there a kernel that you would recommend (like Master&Slave's 1.2ghz underclocked) for maximum battery life?

Thanks for your hard work!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] defvayne:
This ROM/Kernel combo was cooked for best battery and performance. If you use any other kernel you will risk breaking the scripts built around each other. The kernel is underclocked for better battery life.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] defvayne:
Hey TDJ was wondering if the errors I get when running the reset script are normal?

If anyone can help me, I'm 99.9% certain that this is not rom related but if someone can point me to the right direction that would be awesome ... is there a way to fix the contact pictures from not being blurry ... all my contacts are set up using Google. .. when I mean blurry , as when I receive a call the contacts picture is blurry .. thanks ahead of time for any help..

Also search feature on the xda app is not helping .. thanks!!

New Kernel so far good.

TDJ

Only been 2 hours but happy to report that the new kernel works good so far. Never had a single bootloop.

I always charge using my computer at work & home. But when I reboot with phone plug-in it goes to download mode. If the phone is off and I plug it in, it will turn the phone on and go to download mode. With the phone on then pluging it in there is no issue.

Thanks for sending me the new Kernel I'm Honored...:D

BTW: With my wife's JUGGS (I mean the ROM) 5.0, it bootloops.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Omnicide:
Yes, reasoning for my yes. I dont feel he puts out a rom that would be unstable therefor I dont worry about bricking my phone (ei: thederekjay knows what he is doing)so long as I do my part right. Thank thederekjay for the work my man. Also I dont care for themes I feel a rom should be made stock do the coding you want to it add the apks you want then make themes to lay on it. But that is just me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] zoth:
Spoke to soon.. attached logcat ...

3 bootloops...

I'll continue testing and will update.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] defvayne:
Not to butt in. But are you using touch recovery? Reason I asked I had problems like that on my old HD2 running android.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] zoth:
No..I don't. Thank's for the input.

TDJ, I made a Nandroid of the install just in case you want me to try something else. For now I have to get my phone working so I'm restoring my old backup. Will proceed as per your instructions.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] asting:
From what I gather it is at 1.35ghz. This rom is very good, but unfortunately with the included kernel and tweaks isn't doing much for me battery wise. Like i said, I came from juggernaut, and with moderate/heavy use I was getting 16-18 hours a day. I've been getting about 10 with this, and I don't think my usage has changed.

I don't mean to diminish your work tdj, it's a very nice rom, but maybe not the best for me (I'm a student so charging in the car isn't an option and I don't have a desk to charge at).

I wonder if theres a built in config or something I'm doing wrong, as it seems from the rest of this thread that people tend to get good battery use.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thederekjay:
What I really need to see is the last_kmsg log after it bootloops. It can be pulled from recovery or after it reboot... to pull the last_kmsg log from adb, do the following and send me the file after it bootloops..

adb pull /proc/last_kmsg

Do that only after it bootloops. That will help me tremendously
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] zoth:
Will do as soon as I finish my day...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hedgy2136:
I know this is a known issue, but I thought I'd let you know my phone has restarted about 6 times today. Just got my phone this past Sunday and this is the first ROM I've installed. It ran fine for about 48 hours.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] zoth:
in recovery

adb devices = my device found

adb pull /proc/last_kmsg = remote object ' /proc/last_kmsg does not exist

tried mounting system still with the same "remote object ' /proc/last_kmsg does not exist"
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jr_718:
If you have terminal emulator just try as follow...

Su

Cat /proc/last_kmsg > /mnt/sdcard/last_kmsg

It should be in your sdcard.. Named last_kmsg.

Jr_718@xda-developer.com
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thederekjay:
Did you do this after the bootloops? Without flashing anything else before?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] blackangst:
I'll try and pull my log when I get home...I rebooted twice today, last one was an hour ago
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] zoth:
It's from a Nandroid backup of a fresh install with the new kernel. Used your superwipe & wipe dalvik first before restoring it.

---------- Post added at 08:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:34 PM ----------

Can't do it, it's now in an eternal bootloop. Thanks anyways it's good to know.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jr_718:
Take out the battery for a few minutes and try it again..

Jr_718@xda-developer.com
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thederekjay:
This log is very important for me to fix this issue.. I dont have the issue so i cant pull the log to do it myself.. I need you to follow these instructions..

After the device is in a bootloop. HOLD DOWN BOTH VOLUME +/- until it boots into recovery. DO NOT remove battery. Once in recovery i NEED you to pull the last_kmsg. You will need to use adb. Simply plug your device into your computer and then type the following command

adb pull /proc/last_kmsg

the last_kmsg will appear on your desktop or from whatever folder you opened your command/terminal window from... send me that file PLEASE!

Please dont try to do anything else from within recovery.. simply pull the log once you get there.. If you dont follow these instruction I cant help you and I am not going to be able to even attempt to fix this issue..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] zoth:
Here you go, thanks for your patience and I wish luck.

BTW: I know for a fact that my device does not like OC'ing above 1.8-Reason I mentioned it is because looking at CPU spy when I can still boot into android is CPU Spy is showing 1.8 something for about 3%.

This one is different from the first one and it actually shows some errors. :o
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Towle:
Has anyone figured out the cause of the touch key lights not turning on at random times? I had the same issue with this rom before, then tried a couple other ROM's for a few weeks without it ever happening. I did a clean install of 2.5.1 with the -wipe flag, didn't restore anything, and it's happening again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thederekjay:
I have looked thru and its bootlooping on a permission issue?? I am kinda confused. Thinking I might know how to fix. I will be intouch later today with a kernel for you to test..

:: DARKSIDE ::
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thederekjay:
Ummm yeah. Never had my touch key lights turn on at random? R u using bln?

:: DARKSIDE ::
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Towle:
Nope not using bln. And I think you read my post wrong :P at random times they won't turn on, at all. After I reboot 1 or 2 times they work fine again. I remember reading a few posts a while back about people experiencing this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] masamichi7:
I always had that issue as well, but never thought it was a big deal. Only happens on this ROM for some reason, without using BLN

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] yoft1:
I have the issue with touch keys not turning on on occasion. I have them as always on and do use bln. For me there's 3 versions of the problem.

1) If I receive two texts without checking my phone in between, the bln activates for the first but then deactivates after the second text comes in and doesn't turn on for any subsequent texts. This happens 100 percent of the time.

2) On occasion bln will activate for one text but when I turn on the screen to check it, softkeys turn off and will remain so until I lock it, at which point they will work normally at next screen on. Roughly 10% of the time.

3) Rarest is buttons will not turn on at screen on and stay off. Have tried toggling all the settings for touch keys and cycling screen on and off. Only fix is to reboot. Has happened maybe 5 times after around 5 weeks of digital warfare.

Scenario 1 seems to be a universal issue, happened exactly the same way on juggernaut with synergy, faux, streamline, darksidex kernels.

Scenario 2 happened more with faux 10u, less on streamline (if at all), same on darksidex and synergy.

Can't say about how often scenario 3 occurs on juggernaut with those kernel combos, didn't stay on juggernaut long enough to say accurately.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bigburpsx3:
I have a quick question about undervolting. I was able to find the file to edit the vdd tables in the .zip. If I just edit the vdd table does it take into effect when flash the new edited rom in cwm?

Also, if I reflash (the new edited rom) with the same flags (except -wipe), will I be able to keep my settings and data?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thederekjay:
Becareful.. make sure u use intervals of 12.5

:: DARKSIDE ::
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bigburpsx3:
So in other words it'll work, right? The only thing I should be careful about is undervolting too much, correct?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tdizzle404:
I wouldn't mess with anything rom is good strait out of the box
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bigburpsx3:
People said in other threads that it's best to use this rom undervolted. Undervolting doesn't mess with the ROM's performance unless I undervolt too much, in which I would just restore a backup in cwm.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hompsar:
When I first installed this rom/kernel combo my battery life was SUPERB and I encountered no lag or freezes. Over time battery started to last less and less and I started encountering lag and freezes. Is this an instance where my device doesn't like the rom/kernel or where a wipe is necessary? And if it's an instance where a wipe is necessary is the same outcome most likely going to occur? I'm not picky on roms and kernels. I only like there to be no lag and a decent battery life. I usually run at 1080 mhz. Performance is not an issue. I don't do anything really. No gaming pretty much. Maybe some Crime City or whatever other stupid time waster is out at the time.

Same here, everything was fine until this afternoon then I got 2-3 FC's in like a 2 hour span.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bzlik88:
Its been mentioned 1-3 pages back but just wanted to tally/add my experience.

I have two sg2's running 2.5.1.

Device 1:

-wipe

-nobatt

-twmod

Using BLN

Theme-foreverloco-Obsession Revamped Blue DW

Nothing else at all.

Device 2:

-wipe

-nobatt

Extensive use of Go apps. Go launcher, keyboard, battery, Widgets, contacts, messages, dialer etc.

Nothing else important.

Device 2 has had the touch key lights unresponsive on 3 seperate occasions. 1st time lasted about 1hour then rebooted. 2nd and 3rd i rebooted right away since it fixed the 1st time. Upon reboot it was fixed every time. No issues since then. (About 1-2 weeks ago no changes in usage or anything else before, during or since then)

Device 1 = flawless

Don't really care much for a permanent solution but TDJ always seeks perfection so here's my 2¢

Thanks n GL

I'm having a unique problem, for me many of the popular apps like firefox, quadrant, skype, etc are not visible in market :(

If i goto google play website and then try to download, it says your phone is not compatible with them, even though if I download the apk's for them and install they install and run fine ?

At first I figured, it was due to I had set lcd density as 220 in build.prop to increase the virtual resolution, but suspecting it is the cause I reseted it to 240 back, however they are still not visible ? Anyone know why is that happening ?

Little issue

I am wondering if anyone has noticed a little issue I am having with 2.5.1

Occasionally(pretty often), when on a call and attempting to use the net I will have a slow connection for a moment and then loose data completely. It will not reconnect unless I hang up the call, then it immediately reestablishes a data connection. This should not be because of the signal because this happens when I have 4 bars of signal and on "4G". I have never seen an "E" on my phone, always on "4G", unless I'm in a building. So, this should not be effecting the data connection.

Also, when not on a call, I will have constant buffering in Pandora every 10sec or so. I am aware that this may not all be ROM related, but I did not have any issues with 2.4.

My Fix(sort of):

I had to go into network settings and set "Network Mode" to WCDMA only. Now I do not experience a complete lose of data(always have a 4G icon), but data is still slow at times during a call.

Let me know what you guys think. I'm not a n00b, so feel free to talk tech with me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hedgy2136:

I had the same issue as you a while back. I did a clean wipe and instal of 2.5.1 and for some reason one day I just stopped being able to send texts to more then 10 people. First make sure your not including any email addresses in there. It wont let you send to emails and phone numbers.

What I did to fix my problem is go back through the thread right after TDJ released 2.5 and find the mms fix he posted shortly after the release. Then I wiped data from the mms app, used root explorer to paste the mms file to system/apps then boot into recovery and wipe cache, then fix permissions. Should be good to go after that.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] GreggoryD502:
It wont install, i tried it several times. Use root explorer to copy and paste in system/apps. I wiped data in mms app before tho. Im not sure on how to save your texts tho. I didnt delete the old one. Root explorer will ask you if you want to replace or overwrite it.

1. Wipe data in mms app

2. Using root explorer copy and paste mms file in system app

3. Boot into recovery and wipe cache and fix permissions

4. Reboot.
