then u r doing something wrong... either how r utilizing your frequencies and/or clock speeds. I dont need to toot my own horn and I am my biggest critic, but I would agree this rom is smooth. I appreciate you opinion, but the great thing about android is you always have other choices...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Okay guys i think we fended off thw troll. Lol . Back on topic though. I have to agree nothing is better than stock and dark kernel. Thid rom is awesome.

It would be helpful if you could enlighten me on what is not functioning in rom toolbox? I have used the app and didnt notice anything not working??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thederekjay:
I am interested now in some suggestion on what you guys would like to see... Doesnt mean it will definitively happen, but I am curious???
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cwwjr1681:
@thederekjay Its the icons in Rom Tool Box Pro a lot of the icons like the 4g symbol and whatnot do not install. To be more specific its the 4g symbol and the vibrate icon. Thats my ONLY problem with this rom. It does however fully 100% work on the Darkside Dewizzed rom maybe your partner did something diff with the framework? If you get that fixed I would love to be told because I LOVE this rom :( I am sure since it is just those two icons its an easy fix.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Aside feom the toggles advancwd power menu( reboot,recovery,download. Seriously. With jist the toggles and that i am set. I dont know what would break if you tried to add additiona lockscreens or a lockscreen app to be able to change lockscreens(aosp,rotary, glass,etc.). Dont mess with theming. We have plenty of those. I know people will ask for battery mods, but imo those are available in the theme section or can be made by the kitchen easily. I hope my comments are good. Thanks for the great work.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thederekjay:
comments are great... i am just curious to see what people are interested in... drumming up ideas... I know what I like and that 95% of the time is reflected in what I add or change. I like simple and clean... Not poorly done themes that are gaudy and childish.. So i tend not to play to much with themes unless they r realllllly clean...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cwwjr1681:
if you know a quick fix I could do my self for why the 4g icon wont install from Romtool Box Pro please PM me and ill do it. like I said it works on all your other roms even dewizzed. Also all my apps wont auto install from google sync like it does on your other roms. Thats no biggie though all I really care about is the 4g icon from rom toolbox. Thanks in advance...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] weili3d:
Love this rom. Use it as my daily driver. Many thanks to tdj.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Theonlyblackju:
How about upped minfree values and init.d/3g tweaks? I know we can go the V6 route but is it more efficient if it's baked in? I don't know what's to come from the kernel but besides the 14 toggles and any other goodies you have cooked up, we can get/make our own themes and we have plenty of batt. mods based off of KL1. MMS over wifi calling works so really, what's left?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tdizzle404:
+1 yea what he said!lol I really like these flags I did not come here from mt4g but used your teams work on my HD2 "really nice device",then went to g2x. I really like this rom and look forward to the future of this Amazing device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jordanishere:
Very cool to have another nice rom to check out. Nice touch with the scripting.. should negate a lot of the problems people get by not wiping proplery.

Can't wait to see how this rom develops.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cwwjr1681:
Its odd why would everything BUT the 4g and wifi icon from rom toolbox install? Anyone know how to fix this? TY in advance
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dreadwing:
A bit late but I am noticing the same thing :O
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thederekjay:
I dont what the issue is.. but its being addressed as we speak... So next release will fix this issue
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cwwjr1681:
Any idea on the rom tool box icon install issue?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thederekjay:
Really? Not even 15 minutes? nor did i say i was working on it tonight...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Mistic99:
I had the same issue and had to re-download the rom. How are you adding the -wipe-notw? Are you renaming it on the device or on your computer? I had this issue only after renaming the rom while on my sd card, and from the phone. Otherwise a redownload worked fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] XPerties:
Battery life? Pfffffff.....This is a bad run on my battery and it's using bluetooth half day, wifi on the entire time and playing a major battle of words with friends with my brother. Ive had better days....lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thederekjay:
Script is about 1/3rd of the way done.. still need to implement Frequency and Governor control... for those who care
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jordanishere:
Appreciate all of your hard work. This is my fav rom.

You said earlier this may be the final update (2.5). Are you going to build another rom for this device with different features? I know you said the theme of darkside warfare is to be optimized stock.

Thanks again!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sebmw:
I love this Rom no complaint at all, battery life is great I am happy with it, only one request, any chance having the signal and WiFi turning to green instead of the ugly gray that would be great addition, if someone already requested this I apologize in advance, thanks.

I don't understand how this battery is still going strong. I'm at 18 hours of heavy use downloading 3 gigs of gameloft data and I'm at 16% left :eek:. I have to kill it since I calibrated the battery.

The only thing that I can nit pick is the smoothness of the UI isn't as good as some others I've tried, but it's still better than stock IMO
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thederekjay:

I hope cwm (recovery). It'll be much easier for a lot of people but that's just what I think. Let's see what TDJ has in mind.

thederekjay, I finally got this ROM flashed as you might have seen a few posts up, but I wanted to say, Excellent work man, this ROM rocks, thanks for your hard work!!

Can wait until you get this released...

---------- Post added at 10:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:02 PM ----------

Would you mind sharing how you calibrated the battery? There are so many write ups on how, but would like to know how you did it since you are getting that great of a battery life! Appreciate the help!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] XPerties:
Yes it is a bad day....lol....I was being a smartarse. :p

Any other rom I have tried I get 10-14 hours but DW hasn't died under 20 hours, typically around 24-28 hours.

My screen on time is 2 minutes but that is because I play words with friends a lot with my brother back home and I need time to look at all the letters. :D

The only and I mean ABSOLUTELY only issue I have had is my phone has restarted 2 times in the last week for no reason but it's always ran smooth. No issues with GPS or Bluetooth as I experienced with other roms and well the battery life speaks for itself.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Dougshell:
Wait im am confused now. WHat is your screen on time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] XPerties:
Oh wait, sorry I was confused. For that battery run I don't know but later tonight or tomorrow Ill post the screen time on for the next battery run.

*Sigh* when I try to add a new (or update) a contact either from SMS or dialer it doesn't bring up all my contacts. Its as if its a different app. Even my keyboard was different. What's the fix.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thederekjay:
Umm not sure how you would do that in recovery. Its a shell script for terminal/adb shell. It is just what you see in the pics. Its pretty simple to understand. But thinking that I might not release it cause i don't need the headache with crazy questions...

Btw... wth is up with xda today? So slow and laggy

:: LOVE MY HATERS :: DARKSIDE ::
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jr_718:
Probably system maintenance. I noticed its lagging too..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] afbengochea:
Agree that XDA is slow today ..... but please dont keep from releasing it, I dont like using apps to control my settings and this would be the perfect solution. It seems easy enough that even I could do it.

What's not letting you make phone calls dude? Didn't quite get what you're saying..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] raycaster3:
Have you taken any measures to fix it? Are you on wifi calling? If you're on wificalling and like to remove "bloat" you my have removed a necessary file.

The phone period when I try to make a phone call it starts then ends call and I'm not receiving phone calls I just get a voicemail phone never rang...like I said all was great till today super wipe no mods or theme
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Ascarface23:
No I didn't remove anything I thought it might have been just bad signal were I was all day but now I'm home with full bars and still nothing wife said she called 10 times but I got nothing
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] BRKotucs:
When you flashed the ROM you either kept it "tw" / "notw" right? Since you said you haven't flashed any mods, did you try to remove any apps or files that might have caused this issue?

Edit : I see you've already answered to this in the post above mine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] raycaster3:
Hmmm so I'm guessing you've already wiped caches and fixed permissions, and cleared application data and toggled airplane mode a few times etc...yes?

*Raises hand to be a beta tester*

Me loves to flash, send it my way.:D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bluecluenj:
I read a post a couple pages back about someone having calls route straight to voicemail without ringing. I am on this ROM and have been flashing back and forth lately (just love trying stuff out but this is my DD).

I notice that when I first flash (clean install always with wipe flag), the first inbound call goes right to VM. If I make an outgoing test call after I flash all is well. Calls will route to VM until such time as I make that first outgoing call. After that incoming and outgoing work perfectly. Maybe this helps someone smarter than me lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mavblues:
Is there any reason you can think of why I wouldn't be able to receive texts from short codes? I already checked with TMobile, and they say I'm not blocked.

I have 4 phones using v 2.3, and none get responses when we text to a short code. Trying to do this and get no response:

http://slickdeals.net/f/4014000-Fre...es-For-Viewing-On-Computer-And-Mobile-Devices

Wifi and GPS are off, Data is on. Signal is 2 bars on 4G. Shows texts were sent, but we never get a reply.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Also, I found a free app that acts as a front end for Google Navigation. I like it because it allows you to add/track/remember favorites, plus you still have easy access to standard google nav stuff like voice search. Developer is an XDA member (Canadiancow).

https://market.android.com/details?...251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5uYXZsYXVuY2hlci5hcHAiXQ..

Very useful if (like me) you have to frequently navigate to places that are not in your contacts list.

Maybe if you like it you could add it to future releases.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] vahdyx:
Is anyone experiencing the contacts issue that I'm having? Is it a flash issue or is it a development issue?

The issue I'm having is its as if I have 2 contacts list. One is accessed through launcher or the app drawer and the other is a shortcut through SMS or dialer. I hit "add to contact" then choose update existing and the contacts are limited and the keyboard defaulted as swype instead of ICS.

Its a weird issue. Am I alone in this issue?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jregehr:
anyone have any trouble with 2.4 new flash and configuring exchange email? I can configure it but the usual notification that comes on first sync after that requires you to authorize server defined policies before it'll allow you to sync. This doesnt seem to appear anymore and therefore doesnt allow me to sync.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Anthonomy:
I'm really hoping you'll release this! Been waiting for a way to easily control the voltage and frequencies without relying on a third-party app. You could simply start things off with a disclaimer that there won't be any support for this feature.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] frescoraja:
The only thing i notice is that the alphabet along the right side of the list of contacts is missing letters... But all my contacts are there. I think it's missing letters cause they couldn't fit the whole alphabet with the big add/cancel buttons. Is this what you're referring to?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] vahdyx:
No its only when I try and add a contact to my existing list.

So do this; go to dialer enter a random number that's not in your contacts like 123-456-7890 or something then hit "add to contacts" and then update existing.

See if your contacts are different or missing. Also if you're using a different keyboard than Swype see if it defaulted to swype in this other contacts list. Because it goes to Swype for me in this list but my regular list its ICS keyboard. Its strange.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thederekjay:
if youre expecting facebook contacts to show, they wont. you cant update or edit any facebook contacts, its a facebook proprietary thing.. It goes for all roms on all devices. I am referring to official facebook app or SNS contatcs. Also only time kb will revert to swype is if you clear all your ram. other than that i have no clue what it is youre referring to??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] vahdyx:
Maybe its just my flash then. I'm talking about my Google contacts not my Facebook contacts. When I do the method I mentioned earlier all my Google contacts beginning with "A's" are gone and some others as I scroll down.

I came from Juggernaut and the problem was there so maybe there's some ghost files left. Which I find weird because I did the SuperWipe.

Maybe I'll ODIN back to stock and try again. Seems like I stand alone in this issue.

Its literally as if i have 2 different apps controlling my contacts and only one can be accessed by the indirect method
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Well. I spent the better part of today with this ROM. After two lockups and having to pull the battery to reset I have decided to go back to a rooted stock phone.

I think Deodexing, Zip Aligned....blah blah blah that I read about in every ROM for this phone basically should be translated into Instability and Lockups.

Not picking on this ROM in particular. It just seems to me that custom ROM's for the SGH-T989 are really just a bust.

Nothing to gain that can't be had from just rooting the phone and removing bloat and then adding a few apps from the market.

I have tried every ROM that can be had on this phone and I can honestly say that to me none are more stable than stock. None match the battery time I get with stock and just remembering to shut radios off when not in use.

It will be nice when we finally get ICS via OTA. Until then I will just stick with my stock ROM.

My opinion.

Peace.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ceejay83:
sounds like a personal problem.

i've been on this ROM for a week and never had a lockup.

Odin back to stock and then deactivate your xda account.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] djxcee:
Cool story bro.

But in all seriousness, I believe majority of people using this ROM are getting better performance and battery life than stock. I know I am. You must have either not done a full wipe and or messed with the CPU settings.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 3r0k:
Have you read about Deodexing, Zip Aligned and blah blah blah? If you don't know what they do, then how can you connect them to instability?

This is by far rock stable for the majority of the GSII community. Exhaust all your options before spewing garbage.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dirtybudha:
A mature response

I respect your opinion, and understand your frustration. Not knowing what the terms mean in their details, I trust the developers know what they are doing. If it doesn't work, you can always as the developer for assistance, they DO have to offer support for the ROM as stated in the XDA guidelines.

I've been running Darkside for a while now and never had an issue. Even with the version that had issues I was smart enough to read the posts before installing, in so I saved myself from installing an unstable ROM. I also wipe and do clean installs every time, using launcherpro has saved the headache of resetting the screens.

While it's fine to say "Great work, but this ROM didn't work for me", your post didn't address the ROMdirectly and was a means to vent. Next time, please direct that into the "general" forum. This thread is mainly for the Darkside ROM and the support for it.

Good luck with the rooted Stock ROM, I've heard great things about it as well.

Dirty.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TerrorCandii:
Hmm... never had any issues with my SGH-T989. o_O Darkside v.2.4+Synergy kernel v.0.10. Faster, smoother, gaming better, signal, WiFi. Not one problem....hmm. Did this guy do a superwipe, wipe cache, data, battery/factory wipe before flashing? I also wiped my SD to have the cleanest possible install. I love this rom.

Thats the reason why I rooted and flashed several ROM's the day I bought the phone. Better battery life and having the ability to mess with settings to improve things. Just dont like when people blame the developer for things that happen to their phone when they take short cuts.

battery usage.. good or bad?

I have been streaming videos over wifi and browsing the web for the past few hours.. started the day with a full charge and now down to 17%. is this pretty normal battery usage or should I be getting more? thinking about calibrating the battery, which I've never done before but not if it isn't really necessary.. how does this compare with you guys?

Okay, I did a reflash on this rom (ODIN/Stock > Root > Wipe cache, format system, Dalvik, Wipe in recovery > Superwipe via flags) and well all my contact woes are gone. Must have been a ghost file from Juggernaut. All is good though

I love this ROM, the only thing I can nit pick about is the UI speed isn't as fast as other's I've used, but is it slow, by all means no. I love it and there's a good chance it's gonna remain my DD for awhile.

there's a setting in the build.prop that turns on gpu rendering of the UI

debug.sf.hw=1

i turned it off and i think i noticed a smoother UI, try commenting that line out (it's kind of near the top) , reboot a couple times, and see if that makes a difference!

i use live wallpapers and i noticed smoother rendering of that, as well as smoother scrolling of long lists. i might be taking a hit in battery life as a sacrifice but i can't really tell. worth a shot
